SECRET GOLF SOCIETY
The Secret Golf Society is back !
We’ve been away for a couple of years. We’ve launched some more golf shows, written some books about golf, cats and rock music; dabbled in wake-boarding and poker; had some babies; grew some beards and learned to accept, almost love, utility clubs.
We still love our golf and we’re still not so keen on being told we can’t change our shoes in the car park or that blue, (or is it white?), socks are completely unacceptable.
So now we want to bring it on once again! We bring you golf tournaments for people who love golf but, frankly, hate all the archaic nonsense that so often goes with it. We’re throwing our arms open to golfers, secret or otherwise, to join us for golf, irreverent banter, uber-cool goodie-bags, the odd bit of retro F&B and sartorial garb. And the peace of mind to know that, if your shirt does become slightly un-tucked, you’ll still be welcome.
Oh, and we’re offering the most kick-ass prize in golf. A trip to The US Masters in 2010 for the champion of all Secret Golfers. Pretty good, no?
The winner of each event goes into a grand final next summer -
EVENTS - Summer/Autumn 2008
| The Wickerman Festival - July 25th & 26th | |
|---|---|
|
We’re pretty much best mates in the whole world with Scotland’s hottest independent music & arts festival. That means that we’ve built a 9-hole golf course on the festival site, and we’re running a tournament over the 2 days of the festival. Lots of the artists have signed up to play, so you might find yourself teeing it up alongside Bez, Mr C, Annie Nightingale or just that fat bloke who’s Simon Cowell’s bodyguard on X Factor. We’re not just expecting you to just take part in one of the most unusual golf courses known to man….you get a full weekend pass to the festival – give yourself a 3am curfew in the Dance Tent. |

| Stockley Park - 14th August | |
|---|---|
|
OK. It’s time to can the gimmicks for this one. It’s straight up hardcore heavy “medal” golf. The ball has to go in hole at some point. If you were a pro, and you came last, you’d still get a cheque. So everyone’s going home with something from this event. And if you don’t like the prize we’re going to offer you, well, we’ll write you a cheque instead. Everyone’s a winner, unless you win, in which case you’re a Champion, and you’ll be adorned with some amazing golf bling! |

| Costessey Park Sawn-Off Shotgun Start - 21st August | |
|---|---|
|
This Norfolk gem lies in the heart of the Tud river valley….and Costessey Park will host another unusual outing for SGS…. You’ll need your 7 iron and your putter – in fact, no other clubs are allowed. You’ve got to try to shoot something in the 70s. And you might like to wear something from the 70s too. We’ll provide the 70s soundtrack, the odd can of Skol, and a full on buffet dinner |

| Bushey Hall ‘The Steve Challenge’ - 21st September |
|
|---|---|
|
Ever fancied yourself as a bit of a Seve? Here’s your chance to prove it. In homage to the type of bloke who plays a 3 wood out of a bunkers at a really rather crucial moment, the god who mesmerised you with his short game and the man who introduced fist pumping before Tiger was out of nappies, The Secret Golf Society bring you ‘The Steve Challenge’. You’re allowed a 3 wood, a wedge, a putter and imagination. As there was only one Seve, this’ll be stableford –to allow you the odd ‘David Duval’. |
