Members’ Golf Men
Anyone joining the Men’s section at Maidenhead Golf Club can look forward to a great deal of competitive golf, both against other clubs and alongside fellow Members in club events. Regular rollups are held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at a more sociable time of day, starting around 10am. Within the Club, the major competition is the Peace Cup which is in effect the Club Championship and dates back to 1922. Two Honours Board competitions can be traced all the way back to the late 19th Century and there are nearly 20 trophies played for on an annual basis. 24 |
Monthly Medals – Strokeplay in the summer and Stableford in the winter – take place at weekends and throughout the year during the week there is a Stableford and a Strokeplay medal every month on a Friday. One of the challenges that generates much interest is the Border Trophy, a match between Maidenhead Members who represent the country of their birth in an England v Scotland match. In recent years, this has been a 36-a-side match. No-one wants to be on the losing side in this one, but a very convivial evening follows in the clubhouse. A much more refined competition is
the Chrysanthemum Cup, which is an enjoyable annual fixture that has been played against our Japanese friends the Nippon Club since 1967.
Ladies
The Ladies enjoy 22 friendly matches throughout the year. Playing home and away in alternate years, mostly against Clubs from within Berkshire and with some long-standing fixtures among them. These encounters live up to their name of friendlies, with normally a cup of coffee beforehand and refreshments afterwards.
