WHS Players Guide
|
|
Something we can all do while the course is closed is to get up to speed with the new World Handicap System.
So take a few minutes to go through the guide and FAQ's listed on the Berks Bucks and Oxon web site. That way we can all hit the ground running when the current situation is all over and we can get back to golfing.

DAGC MEN's CAPTAIN (2020)
|
|
It is with great pleasure and anticipation of a marvellous year of golf for the men's team that I am thrilled to announce that
Tony Norris has agreed to take on the Men's Captaincy for the season. With a wealth of experience of the team, its fixtures
and the game as it now stands in relation to handicaps I can think of no better person to Captain the men this year.
Thank you Tony, Thank you Gentlemen for the support you will now give him, and have a great 2020 season
Chairman
DAGC

The Club, established in 1956, is an attractive 18 hole course within
the confines of the Defence Academy of The United Kingdom. The 18 different holes are achieved by
a devious combination of 14 greens and 17 tees, so making each hole
unique. We are established to encourage beginners to take up the sport
and a visiting professional is available for lessons. The course has
evolved to give all standards of players an enjoyable game in pleasant
parkland conditions. The course is 5684 yards long and par 70. Our
handicaps are recognised by the English Golf Union - a vital entree
to other clubs when you leave.
There are at least two competitions each month, with all the
entry fees being returned as prizes. There are also some 30 matches a
season, against local Club and Military teams. The Club Captain would
be glad to hear from players holding EGU handicaps. If friendly golf
is your thing then the course is open dawn to dusk with very few tee
restrictions - see Competitions, Fixtures and Course Notice Board on this web site or the club notice boards.
Club membership is comprised of personnel employed or studying at the Defence Academy and members of the local community. For details of the course and club membership fees please contact the Club Manager on 01793 785725. Membership forms can be downloaded and completed using the links on the menu to the left of this page.
