RNGS vs Royal Artillery (RAGS)
Our first RNGS match at Alresford GC was enjoyed by all. The course was in very good condition and provided a fair, yet challenging, test for all. As ever, RAGS presented a strong team, but it was great to see some young serving golfers in the RNGS team. Post match, an impressive 2 course lunch was served in the Club House, where the usual array of inter-service banter continued! RNGS lost 2 - 4.
RNGS vs Royal Navy Golf Association (Eastern Region)
We played our traditional fixture against the serving RN of the RNGA (Eastern Region) at Southwick Park GC. The weather was excellent, and we were made very welcome in the Clubhouse with a great post-match curry. The match was closely fought across all 4 pairings, with the result being a 2-2 draw, therefore RNGS retain the honour! BZ to all players.

Spring Meeting - Liphook GC
As always, Liphook GC was presented in magnificent condition for our Spring Meeting, Beautifully manicured and with greens at top speed, it was the challenge we all look forward to, or dread! Rocco and his team also provided wonderful food at lunchtime which we thoroughly enjoyed. However, it was very cold on both mornings, even though the sun was also shining strongly. The afternoon was much warmer and most golfers were able to shed 2 or 3 layers of clothing! Day 1 Morning (Staff College Cup) was won by Bob White with 37 points. Day 1 Afternoon was won by Iain Macdonald with 34 points (RNGS Challenge Cup), who also won the best aggregate of the 2 rounds with 66 (Evans Salver). Over 65 (Benson Cup) was won by Taf Pugh with 31 points. Day 2 was only supported by 15 players and was won by Taf Pugh with 38 points.
In 2026, we will cut the meeting down to only 1 day, with 2 stableford rounds and the AGM in the evening. So plenty of opportunity to come and play a day of golf, enjoy a Liphook lunch and meet your old friends!
RNGS vs Huntercombe GC
A really beautiful sunny day in stark contrast to last year earlier when the match had to be postponed! RNGS team were raring to go, illustrated by half the team arriving even before the clubhouse door had opened, ready for coffee and bacon rolls.
All six RNGS teams played well and all triumphed, many on the 18th green. We had invoked the Sunningdale Rules to ensure an evenly-fought match, which worked really well. The two new RNGS players injected a quality that was appreciated. All were rewarded by an outstanding 3-course lunch provided by our charming hosts!
The golf course, always very well turned-out, played nicely with very quick and interesting greens that challenged the visitors and always kept each match finely balanced. A very good day was appreciated by everyone. Won 6-0.
RNGS vs Royal Navy (Western Region)
First fixture in 2025 was against the RNGA Western Region. Held at Stover Golf Club near Newton Abbot. The course had just completed its spring maintenance period and was undergoing some significant alterations, but it held up very well. Greens were a little bumpy, but the fairways were remarkably dry and the ball ran rather than plugged! Mostly sunny, but with a chilly NE breeze, it was a very pleasant start to the RNGS golfing year. Well balanced sides with a significant number of single and low-teen handicappers led to a close fought match with the RNGA eventually coming out 3½ - 2½ winners.
