Introduction to Bedford Swifts Golf Society

The Swifts Golf Society was borne out of many players needs. Basically the need to be able to get out of the house away from the wives/girlfriends/mistresses etc and their summer chores lists. Also almost as important is the need to have some form of competition and bragging rights amongst your peers, oh yeah and the opportunity to take the piss!!

The society is run under extremely strict guidelines and the full weight of the officials is bought to bear on all who join. This is indeed a worry for members considering the combined weight of Fat Matt and Crusey tops 40 stone so don't cross them!!

Upon joining all players have the opportunity to submit their handicap to the committee and we then laugh at it and cut it by at least a third. To be fair we are never that far wrong (trumpets are blown) we even cut big Woodsy from his claim of 16 (never gonna happen) to 12 and he shot 11 over par!! Don't ever whinge about your handicap either or else we will cut you just for fun!!

The society aims to play at least 5 times across the summer and also a couple of times during the rugby season fixtures permitting. Dates of all societies can be found here.
