The Heffle Golf Society was formed in late 1993 by a group of people associated with the Totesport Betting Office in Heathfield , East Sussex . The Shop Manager, Jeff Brain became the first Secretary of the Society and a former Captain of Hawkhurst Golf Club , George Mitchell was appointed Captain of the Society. It was felt at the time that Wednesdays would be the ideal time to get people together and that situation remains unaltered today although we have played on other days. The two local courses at Horam Park and Wellshurst became the first two venues of the Society in November and December respectively. Since then we have played over 200 matches on English soil plus over 30 in Continental Europe. The development of the Society in it's early years involved visiting local courses in the East Sussex and Kent areas and the roots of its members remain firm in this area of a spectacular part of the Country. The name 'Heffle' was selected to reflect our links to the Heathfield area , Heffle being the medieval name for the town. These roots , however, have spread considerably and now, in our 15th year, have encompassed visits to many English Counties and ,as stated, several parts of Europe. Many of our original players are still in contact with the Society . We have all made friends within it and it is this camaraderie that makes the Society the success it is. We have entertained over 200 different people at over 100 different courses during the course of our 200 plus events in the past 14 years and it is hoped to continue with this policy in the future. We are a well known and respected Society, welcomed at every course we attend and although the standard of golf , like any other game , can be unpredictable , the standard of etiquette is upheld. |
The aim of the Heffle Golf Society is to provide competitive golf in a friendly atmosphere with realistic handicapping and all year round venues. |
We are now entering our 15th year as a recognised Golf Society and all of the above criteria have been met. The support and enthusiasm shown by our members during this period has been continuous and creditable and made this possible We operate over 12/15 events per year and are widely welcomed wherever we attend. We try to keep the golf as economical as we can by trying to play the more expensive courses in the winter where we are able to obtain preferential green fees. At present the Society operates with a Secretary, a Playing Captain, a Social Captain and a Vice Captain. All rules concerning the Society along with Handicapping are made by this body of people. We are, and will continue to be , a social Society and for this reason no bookings will be accepted for 'Golf Only'. The price will always include a meal. If you are unable to stay for the meal no refund will be offered. There is no break for bad weather. If you indicate that you are playing at an event and you do not attend you will be expected to pay. Most Golf Courses ask for final numbers 72 hours in advance of the first tee time and once those numbers are given we are committed to payment. Obviously, if the Course closes for poor weather no payment will be made but this is very rare these days. Since its adoption this Society has had to pay out over £1500 to courses where poor communication has caused us to reduce the numbers at a late stage. Please bear this in mind when inviting guests to the Society. Guests have been the main culprits with non attendance. You will be responsible for payment should your guest not attend. |

| www.hefflegolf.com extends a warm welcome and invitation to everyone visiting this site. If you are visiting this site as a result of a search engine, i.e Google, Yahoo etc or via an advertisement in a local publication you will find that all areas of the site are open to you and allow you to see what the Society can do for you. Principally, we are a group of like minded people who play golf together between 12 and 15 times a year on a wide range of courses. A glance at the 'honours board' below will give some indication of the courses played and the numbers attending. You will be supplied with a Society handicap after 3 matches as a guest and your participation in future matches will be confirmed. The standard of your golf is more important to you than us but we do ask you to acquaint yourself with the etiquette associated with the game. The cost of joining the Society will be in 'Debenture' form. You will pay £50 to start and this will be refunded on request if you leave the Society. So, membership will cost you nothing. Half of this money is used to purchase Premium Bonds with any winnings over £1000 divided between members. A trophy will be provided by the Society and prizes are awarded for every event. There are financial rewards if you wish to place a bet on yourself or a colleague to win. All proceeds from betting go into the Society. Winners of each event are expected to sponsor the next one. This will probably cost you between about £15 and £20. We also arrange a holiday abroad each year at a reasonable price, several members take wives or partners. Our next holiday could be close to Cadiz in April 2008 with 4 round of golf. A glance at the 'Holiday' page will give you more details. |
