The Magistrates’ Golfing Society

Welcome

The Magistrates’ Golfing Society was founded in 1938. Our first meeting was held at Ranelagh Golf Club over the Barn Elms Course, which means that as the Magistrates’ Golfing Society we are now in our 88th year. We are open to all Magistrates, Judges and Clerks to the Justices, both sitting and retired, and in addition, to husbands, wives and civil partners of sitting or retired Magistrates, Judges and Legal Advisors, who enjoy a game of golf on attractive good quality courses with the opportunity to meet up with fellow members of the Judiciary.

The Captain and Committee of the Magistrates’ Golfing Society invite you to browse through our site, and to contact us should you require any further information about our Society.

We are pleased to extend a warm welcome to our newest members, Shirley Ann Vels, Liz Barsham, Giuseppe Nicolosi, John Dungworth, Paul Lowe, Lynette Reid, Simon Robinson, Pauline Bramley, Tushar Shah and Christopher Walker and look forward to meeting them at future events.

• Our flagship event in 2026 is the FESTIVAL OF GOLF which took place at Tewkesbury Park, Gloucestershire on 11th and 12th May, 2026. 56 Magistrates and their Guests attended the two day meeting which was brilliantly organised by Fraser Geekie on behalf of the Society. We enjoyed first class hotel facilities, excellent company and a fine golf course. It was a resounding success and even the weather played it’s part. Click here to see the full RESULTS.
