The membership structure is that of a traditional members club.
Men
A wide range of honours board competitions, both medal and match-play, are played throughout the year. These are well supported and the operation of a booking sheet makes it easy for new members to find partners. A number of members are involved at County level, both as players and officials. The Men's section currently fields three teams:
First Team Captain – Adrian Donkersley
Play in the Buckinghamshire Scratch League (see www.bucksscratchleague.com). There are four leagues and Gerrards Cross was relegated in 2007 to Division 2 but fully expects to be promoted next year! There are six teams in each division and matches are played on a home and away basis. Each match involves eight scratch singles. The lowest two teams in each division are relegated at the end of the season and the top two promoted.
Second Team Captain - Ken Moody
Plays other local teams on a friendly but very competitive basis. Most matches are held on a Saturday with the format usually being handicap four-ball better-ball.
C Team Captain - Gordon Brown
This team has a busy schedule of matches during the summer season which are keenly contested with silverware at stake in 5 matches against local clubs. A list is placed on the notice board approximately 6 weeks prior to each fixture to allow members to declare their availability. The Captain selects the teams from these lists and attempts to give as many players as possible a game throughout the season. The handicap range of competing players is generally between 8 -18.
Ladies
The Club has a very active Ladies' Section, with "fun" or qualifying competitions held each Tuesday throughout the year. Several knock-out competitions also take place during the summer months. Working ladies have the opportunity to play their Medal and Stableford competitions on the preceding Sunday. All competitions are well supported with fields of between 60 and 80. A cherished feature of the Ladies section is the prize-giving tea held every Tuesday afternoon. This has become a major forum for exchanges of ideas and an important social occasion particularly for new members.
The Ladies field Scratch Teams for both the County Winter and Summer Leagues (Silver and Bronze). They also compete in the Bucks Shield Knock- Out competition. Friendly Matches against other clubs are played between March and October enabling members to play on a wide variety of courses in the area.
Activities away from the course include two Bridge Drives a year for members and guests which are well supported with the proceeds being donated to Charity.
The Ladies' Section is managed by an elected Committee responsible for running all competitions, events and inter-club matches.
LX
These Roman numerals represent the qualifying age for our veterans section which also operates independently. They appoint their officers, including Caesar (Captain), annually. They have a roll-up early on Monday and Wednesday mornings, play matches against eight local clubs and other club sections, medals, match-play competitions and group outings. Members under 60 may play as "cadets". A significant amount is raised by the section for charity.
Artisans
Whilst many clubs have disbanded or absorbed their Artisans, our section at Gerrards Cross continues and enjoys an excellent relationship with the parent club. Indeed, the regular matches between the Artisans and other sections of the golf club are keenly contested and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Juniors
Organiser - Peter Hewitt
The club has a large and very active junior section which relies mainly on the efforts of volunteer members who organise the coaching, competitions and matches with other clubs.
Cygnets
This is a sub-section of the juniors and their name reflects the theme of the Club's logo. The aims of the section are to introduce young girls and boys who are not junior members to the delights of golf. Volunteer lady members provide a valuable service offering advice and escorted play when the course is not busy.
Social
Social membership allows members who are no longer able to play golf the continued use of the club's amenities. Gerrards Cross Golf Club is renowned in the area for its wide range of events, the Social Committee does it's upmost to provide members and their guests with a good mix of entertainment throughout the year. Regular Bridge sessions are held at the club, these are organised by volunteers.
