A welcome message from Mark Wakelin, our club Captain
To new members, a warm welcome to Sherfield Oaks Golf Club and to all members, welcome to the members’ website!
SOGC is owned and operated by Get Golfing CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation), along with twelve other clubs – see: https://www.getgolfing.org/
Handicaps and club competitions, including many charitable and fun events, are administered by The Club Committee. Positions on the Club Committee are mostly elected from and by the club membership, with Get Golfing represented on The Committee by Dominic Gooder, SOGC’s General Manager and by Owen Fox, Golf Operations Manager.
INTELLIGENT GOLF (IG)
SOGC is currently in transition, from using Intelligent Golf for most functions, to Golf Manager, for club and membership administration and to Golf Genius, for competitions administration. Members can access these systems via the Get Golfing app.
New members will be provided, (by the Get Golfing SOGC management team), with your logon details for the Get Golfing app and for Golf Genius. If you don’t already have these, contact Dominic or Owen. Their email addresses are given at the bottom of this page.
THE GET GOLFING APP
This app provides the members’ main interface for their membership account, allows them to make purchases at the club and to book any tee times they require outside club competition draws.
GOLF GENIUS
The Golf Genius app can be used to enter competitions, check-in on competition days, to enter competition scores and to view competition results.
MYEG APP
The myEG app is provided by England Golf and is used to access your handicap record and to submit scores to gain and maintain your handicap, in addition to your scores in club competitions.

MEMBERSHIP SECTIONS AND CHAMPIONSHIP COMPETITIONS
The Seniors section is for members 55 years and older. The Seniors Captain is Roly Richardson. A friendly group of members play regularly in inter-club seniors matches and are joined by other members in playing regular weekday competitions and Monday and Thursday “Rollups”.
Rollup website
The Ladies section is growing rapidly and holds weekday competitions or roll ups on a Tuesday morning. The Ladies Captain is Lesley Brigden. The Ladies also enter teams for the Stoneham and Mapleleaf competitions against other local clubs. You are sure to receive a warm welcome from the Ladies.
The SOGC Junior Section is growing. We are hoping to recruit a Junior Organiser and I will update members when this has been arranged.
SOGC has a packed competition calendar, including the Saturday League and Knockout Matches, for which there are both summer and winter seasons. There are also monthly competitions on Sundays and midweek medal and Stableford competitions held throughout the year.
There are a number of “board events”, including the Richard Lewington Trophy. There is also the Ladies Vase, effectively the ladies championship and the Seniors and Veterans Championships, for seniors over 55 and over 70, respectively.
The principal highlights of the main golfing season at SOGC are the Club Championship, section championships, the annual “Ryder Cup” weekend competition and the Get Golfing sponsored “Race to Le Touquet” order of merit.
I have listed below contact details of the committee members, please feel free to contact any of us if we can be of any assistance. Alternatively, you can put any questions or comments in the comment form at the bottom of this page.
I look forward to meeting with you all very soon.
Regards
Mark Wakelin, Club Captain
