However, it is known that the Royal Air Force Officers’ Golf Association was formed in 1921 and a set of rules drawn up which remain the basis for the present rules. The original management consisted of a committee of seven drawn from Air Ministry, Cranwell, Halton and the Inland, Coastal, Bombing and Fighting Areas. Membership was limited to officers on the Active Service List and Auxiliary and Special Reserve Forces. Retired officers could continue their membership provided that the subscription of 5/- (25p) was “promptly paid”. Three additional areas were included from 1935 - Western, Central and Air Defence Group. This organisation remained until 1938 when the RAF Command structure evolved and the numbers reduced to six including Air Ministry and Cranwell. Two meetings a year were held, both of three days’ duration, in Spring and Autumn. The inaugural Spring meeting was held at Sandy Lodge in April 1921 with the Autumn meeting at St George’s Hill in the same year. Subsequent meetings in the early years were staged at Porter’s Park, Sunningdale, Berkhamsted, Oxhey, Walton Heath, Denham, Wentworth and Moor Park. The Championship meeting held in the Autumn was for all members of the Association and from 1926 there was a championship title at the Spring Meeting for serving officers. Inter-Service matches were introduced in 1922 with the RAF defeating the RN but losing to the Army and Civil Service (this latter match was discontinued in 1928). The RAF had to wait until 1931 before becoming outright champions and this was for the only time before the war. 4 On 17 April 1945 the Society was reformed under its present title and in 1946 opened to all ranks, serving and retired. The WRAF was included from 1949. Gradually the Society established itself on much the same lines as before. The annual subscription remained unchanged at 5/-. Inter Command and Inter Group matches became a feature of the calendar and the Society retained the responsibility for selecting the RAF Inter Service Team. Regional meetings were proposed but this idea was abandoned for lack of support. Meetings continued to be held at first class courses (and this is still the case) and in 1956 a 4 day meeting was held at St Andrews with an entry of over 150 players. The Provost of St Andrews presented the prizes. The daily green fee of 7/6 (37p) had to be paid in cash by individual players to the starter before play. The 3-day meetings regularly attracted over 100 players and in 1954 more than 200 members played in the Spring Meeting at The Berkshire. The total membership during these years exceeded 1000. After a gradual decline in numbers it was thought prudent to raise the annual subscription from £1 to £2 in 1973. Veterans competitions were started in 1952 with an additional handicap cup from 1967. The age was fixed at 55 but after 1978 this was increased to 65 since this more accurately reflected the age of the participants. In 1971 the Inter Services Sports Board decided that it was no longer appropriate for the Society to be responsible for selecting the RAF representative team and, since public funds were involved, for ex members of the RAF to be subsidised. This led to the formation of the RAF Golf Association which is confined to serving members and responsible for all golf within the RAF. Thus the RAF Golfing Society reverted to the role of a Society consisting mainly of retired members. 5 During the last 25 years there has been a steady increase in the number of matches against golf clubs and the fixture list now contains 10 such matches in addition to matches against the other two services and several societies. One regional meeting which was started in 1975 with 8 players is the Scottish Tour. This has proved exceptionally popular and has gone from strength to strength. Perhaps its popularity is due to the fact that members have gathered to stay at Kinloss Barracks (formerly RAF Kinloss) and RAF Lossiemouth, which evoke memories for some members. The Meeting regularly attracts 36 members. Another welcome addition to the regular programme of meetings is the Yorkshire Meeting at Fulford designed to cater for the participation of the more northern members of the Society. Since 1945 many famous names have appeared in the Members’ List, among them Sir Henry Cotton, Raymond Oppenheimer, A.L. and H.G. Bentley, Dick Burton, Mrs Jean Anderson (nee Donald), Peter Alliss and Jill Thornhill (nee Woodside). Perhaps the highlight of our achievement occurred in May 1949 when Flight Lieutenant S.M. McCready beat Willie Turnesa of the USA to win the Amateur Championship. A dinner was held in his honour at the RAF Club. He was an Irish International from 1947 to 1954 and a Walker Cup player in 1949 and 1951. Many other members have achieved high honours in the national and international golf fields. No account of the Society would be complete without mentioning some outstanding names. Cecil Hayward was the first secretary of the Society, a position he held for 30 years and he can be justly described as the father of RAF golf. Not only did he excel in administration but he won the Championship no less than 13 times in the first 15 years. He was the losing finalist against T.F. Ellison in the English Amateur in 1926 and played for England in 1925 and 1928. 6 The office of Honorary Secretary has been held by only five members: Cecil Hayward, H.D. (Nick) Nicholson, John Hart, Harry Griffiths and currently Roger Carr. A record of which any society would be proud. Cecil Beamish is a name synonymous with RAF Golf. Inspection of the honours boards will show his contribution to the game but he also had a fine record both as an Irish International and in the Amateur Championship. He was our President from 1985-99. Our current President, Air Chief Marshal Sir Patrick Hine, also has an outstanding golfing pedigree. At the age of 17 he won both the Brabazon Trophy and the Carris Trophy. In 2010 he was elected Captain of the R&A – the 3rd Member of the Society to hold this office in 7 years, after HRH The Duke of York in 2003 and David Harrison in 2007. Although the cost of golf continues to rise, the Society remains a well respected and thriving golfing fraternity with a fully computerised secretariat. Many new friendships have been formed and old ones rekindled. The annual intake of Full and Affiliated Members is encouraging. 7 Royal Patrons His Royal Highness The Prince Edward, 1935 - 1936 Later His Majesty King Edward VIII His Majesty King George VI 1936 - 1952 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 1952 - 1997 Presidents Air Chief Marshal Sir John Salmond 1933 - 1939 GCB CMG CVO DSO Marshal of the Royal Air Force 1945 - 1949 Lord Tedder GCB Air Chief Marshal Sir John Slessor 1950 - 1952 GCB DSO MC Marshal of the Royal Air Force 1953 - 1984 Sir William Dickson GCB KBE DSO AFC Air Vice Marshal C.H.

  • T & a Winners All Years
    The Honourable Company of Air Pilots TROPHY AND AWARD WINNERS The information within this booklet was compiled and verified as accurate during the summers of 2013, 2014 and 2015 sourcing information from the Company Archives: from Minute Books of the GP&F, Court, and Trophies and Awards committee (and the committees which pre- dated them such as the Test Pilots’ Committee, the Executive Committee etc), archived copies of the “Guild News” (from February 2014 – “Air Pilot”) and various files relating to the individual awards. Citations for individual awards, where available, have been scanned and retained and are available from the Company office. The following rationale for dates is given: 1977/78 an award considered by the awarding body for the year 1977 and presented in 1978. 1978 not awarded (after consideration by the awarding body for the year 1977 no nomination was identified as suitable for an award presentation in 1978.) 1977 an immediate award considered and presented in the same year. From 2016 – all awards are listed as the year in which presented. … one small historical note – no awards were made for the year 1958/59 as the award committee decision had become so distanced from the presentation ceremony (nearly 18 months), the Court took a decision that nominations should not be sought.
