Captain's Corner

Welcome to our dedicated space for all things RHGS. Whether you are a long-standing member checking the latest updates or a guest looking to see what our fantastic society is all about, I am delighted to welcome you to our digital home.

As your 2026 Captain, it is an absolute privilege to lead the Railway Hotel Golf Society. Our society has always been built on a foundation of great courses, healthy competition, and, most importantly, brilliant camaraderie. Looking back at our recent fixtures, I am incredibly proud of the turnout and the fantastic spirit in which all our matches have been played.

We’ve had the pleasure of tackling some magnificent courses recently. From navigating the tricky healthland challenges to enjoying some pristine parkland fairways, the standard of golf (and the banter in the clubhouse afterward) has been top-tier.

• The Form Guide: Congratulations to all our recent trophy winners and those who managed to scoop the "Nearest the Pin" and "Longest Drive" bragging rights.
• The Wooden Spoon: As always, a special nod to those who made sure we got our money's worth out of the rough. Your dedication to exploring every inch of the course does not go unnoticed!

A massive thank you to our Secretary and the committee for their tireless work behind the scenes in securing these venues and keeping our fixtures running like clockwork.

Our fixture list for the rest of the 2026 season is packed with fantastic venues. I encourage everyone to get their names on the sheets early so we can finalize numbers and pairings.

Captain’s Tip: The greens are getting faster, and the rough is getting thicker. Secure your spot, dust off your short game, and let's keep the momentum going!

Beyond this season, the committee is already hard at work laying the groundwork for a massive milestone: our 45th Anniversary in 2027. We have some premier events and special venues shortlisted to mark the occasion in true RHGS style. Stay tuned to the notice board and your inbox for updates as the planning progresses.

Thank you all for your continued support, your sportsmanship, and for making this society what it is. Let’s keep hitting them straight, finding the fairways, and enjoying every minute of it.

See you on the 1st tee!

Wishing you all good golfing,

Steve Russell
