Here’s hoping you had a very enjoyable Christmas, and best wishes for a New Year which will take in some enjoyable golf with fellow members.

Below are details of our opening event for the year, which unsurprisingly takes us to the well drained – if occasionally breezy – South Downs:

Date: Fri 20 January 2023

Time:    10:00 for 11:00 first tee off

Format:  Tea/coffee + bacon rolls on arrival, 18 hole individual and team Stableford competitions followed by a one course meal

Please confirm your attendance by email to bookings@mayfieldgolfingsociety.com by close of business Mon 16 Jan latest, and transfer your payment to the MGS account in the usual way. 

Last year’s Captain Mark Hughes takes a well earned rest, and is succeeded by our 2023 Captain Alan Bigley, and his Vice Captain Chris Buck, who’s no doubt been rehearsing his tossing in preparation for a busy year.

2023 Subscriptions

As we move into the new year, subs are due. These have been held once again at £30. Please make a separate transfer of this amount, referenced Subs23.

Do come and join your new Captain and the rest of us at Eastbourne, where we can all blow off some of those festive excesses.
