South Pembrokeshire Golf Club is proudly celebrating its 50th Jubilee anniversary during 2019 and has announced an exciting series of events to commemorate this milestone.

Founded in 1969 by a dedicated band of golfing enthusiasts, the club is now established as one of the leading clubs in South-West Wales with its greens being particularly rated very highly by members, visitors and professionals. Wales senior Pro coach Robert Ryder has described them as “consistently in first-class condition and among the best in South Wales.”  The course is continuing to be developed  with substantial drainage works having recently completed as well as a major landscaping exercise on its signature 5th hole.

The events will start with a Members and Guests day on March 16th. This will be open to visiting golfers and following on from this on May 31st, there will be a Gala dinner at the clubhouse followed by a Jubilee competition on July  26th, again open to members and visitors. The club will also be holding re-unions for former players and friends.

Over the course of the winter the members have continued to play golf despite the challenging weather with both men and women’s competitions taking place on a regular basis

In the Saturday morning Winter League the most successful players were Nigel Lewis with 40 points followed by Chris Veale with 39.
