Our Competitions and Handicap Committee plays a vital role in the organisation and delivery of both club and open competitions at Wilton Golf Club, ensuring an enjoyable and well-run experience for all members.
Working together, the committee is responsible for planning and delivering a full calendar of competitions for our members. In addition, they oversee the administration of the World Handicap System (WHS), ensuring it is managed fairly, accurately, and transparently for all players at Wilton Golf Club.

“…..in many clubs there is often one brave soul who will battle on as Chairman until he tires of the yearly abuse thrown in his direction by impatient golfers. His thankless task includes attempting to protect his green staff from the more belligerent members, and fighting in General Committee for sufficient funds with which to manage a course”
Quote from the R&A discussion document “The Way Forward”

General Duties
The role of the Chairman of Greens is to liaise and work closely with our Head Greenkeeper Ron Butler, to maintain and develop the golf course to the satisfaction of the club membership.
The sub-committee’s purpose is to retain and improve the quality of the golf course to ensure it achieves excellent playing conditions for the use and enjoyment by the members, visitors and guests all year round.
With a low handicap index myself, I know the importance of having excellent greens and a quality course to play.
We meet regularly with the Head Greenkeeper with the majority held on the course so that current conditions and problems can be viewed and discussed. We plan for course maintenance and improvements all year round.
We also listen to the members to hear their thoughts and suggestions and report back to the main committee for discussion, because without members we wouldn’t be here today.
So please enjoy the course, enjoy your golf and don’t forget to repair your divots and pitchmarks!!
Our House & Social committee is made up of Dave Little and Rob Hugill. They work actively in the day to day running of the clubhouse alongside the bar manager, kitchen manager and bar/kitchen staff. Simon Brook is also very active in the organisation and promotion of our Club 52 events.
