The Old Marlburian Golfing Society

It is clear that we will not be playing any golf for at least the next few weeks. The Under 30s v Over 30s and the match against Deal have already been postponed and more I am afraid will follow. However, please keep registering for matches and meetings as we will try and re schedule those events which fall foul of the virus provided there is sufficient interest. Please also keep looking at this news page as I will be posting regular updates. Happy new year and keep safe. Bob

Thanks to Oliver Hickling, all members can now buy white Calloway 'Swing Tech Solid' polo shirts with the OMGS logo. The plan is to take orders before 31st December so that we can do a bulk order for delivery during January, in time for our first matches in February

Why not place your order now from the OMGS ONLINE SHOP 

The 2021 fixture card has been submitted to the printers for printing.

If you have not requested a printed fixture card but would like to receive one, please update your profile

In the meantime, you can download a PDF copy of the new look fixture card from the FIXTURES PAGE

The Honorary Secretary, who is an expert on these matters, has put together a very helpful and brief guide to the new World Handicapping System that comes into force on Monday 2nd November

*updated*
The Autumn Meeting at Deal on Friday 9th October has proved very popular with the maximum number of registrations already reached. If you didn't get your name down in time but would like to play, please register anyway and you will be put on a reserve list

Autumn Meeting

There is no game available at Royal St George's on the Saturday this year because that s the day of the club's Autumn Meeting

Of course we are in the lap of the Gods as regards COVID19 is concerned, but let us hope for the best. Time will tell.

Malcolm Cornish organised a brilliant day at Woking for the annual match against the Senior Golfers' Society. Whilst having to put up with changeable weather, the OMGS lost by 4½ to 7½. However OMs playing for the opposition (in particular Jack Naylor!) garnered sufficient points to see the Seniors home. Woking GC treated us well and gave us a terrific lunch. A good time was had by all. Even the Hon. Sec. got a ½ point!

The governing bodies have reported back and are allowing golf clubs to let their members play singles. Golf clubhouses remain closed and this situation is likely to be the case for some time. As regards our matches, we are talking to each match manager and may try and rearrange matches for later on in the year. Please keep watching the website.
