southsea golf club history 1
TRANSCRIPT
Keith ParkerSecretary of Southsea Golf Club
1962-2005Arguably Southsea Golf Clubas we know it might not exist
without the endeavours of Keith.He was secretary at the time that
the pitch and putt course that hosted the original S.G.C. effectively without a formal winding up process, ceased
to exist. No subscriptions were paid and no competitive golf was
played.Keith held in safe keeping, the minute
book, the original silver trophies and the
honours board. Southsea Golf Club was reformed in
1972. At a General Meeting organized by a
steering group headed by the first captain
Tommy Thompson and Keith a resolution to
“Give the club new life” was adopted.The rest is history.
Thank you Keith

HISTORY OF SOUTHSEA PAR 3 GOLF LINKS
Southsea Golf Links was developed by a resident as a memorial to Southsea The course would be developed between lumps fort and the old coastguard cottage
site, and designed by james briaid, a well-known golfer of his time.
On sixth April 1914, - the links was opened, but no water supply was available until the twenty-eighth of may 1914: during this period, the grass greens were watered
by men forming a chain with buckets to supply the green with water.
The course re-opened with a fee to players of: - 6d for a half day and 1/- for the whole day. A mashie club and putter were supplied for use on the course.
The course was closed by the military during the Second World War in 1940, and was not released until
Monday 7th January 1946. Portsmouth city council parks department discussed the layout of the new course with a professional golfer, and it was decided that the bunkers would be made smaller, as they had proved
rather hazardous to the novice golfer.
On Saturday 8th June 1946 the golf links was opened. The charges:- 1/- for 4 hours, 6d for 2 hours, and a staggering 3/6d for a lost ball due to a short supply of golf balls as a result of the war.
Before the second world war, the course record was 20, achieved by Mr. tull, over two rounds, on 11th
august 1922
The name links course means built by the sea, open to all prevailing winds and all weathers. Some professional golfers have said that links courses can be far harder to par than an 18 hole golf course
