Dorset County Golf Union Centenary 2023

Happy Birthday to Dorset County Golf Union, 100 years old today!

DCGU President, John Gordon was joined by England Golf CEO, Jeremy Tomlinson to welcome honoured guests and representatives from Dorset Golf Clubs who came together to celebrate at the place where it all began, Came Down Golf Club.

Brian Hansford, Came Down President, unveiled the commemorative stone gifted to the Club from the DCGU to mark this special event. Peter Fry, also from Came Down delighted listeners with his entertaining retelling of Dorset golfing history. A highlight of the day was a "˜Q&A' session with Dorset golfing legend, Lee James who reminisced about his Amateur Championship and Walker Cup wins and of course playing at the Masters in 1995.

Many thanks to Came Down Golf Club for hosting a fantastic day and to all our Captains, Presidents, Managers and Club representatives who attended today.
