A welcome message from Del Rogers, 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 Owen Fox, SOGC’s General Manager.

The Seniors section is for members 55 years and older. The Seniors Captain is Martin Amos. 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 Gill Fowler. 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.
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 a Get Golfing sponsored 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.
