The Old Bradfieldian Golfing Society

Welcome to Golf

The Old Bradfieldian Golfing Society (OBGS) is a club for all ages and all standards with Spring, Summer and Autumn meetings and tours open to all members as well as team selection for competitive fixtures such as the Halford Hewitt and the Grafton Morrish. We strongly encourage the participation of younger members, for whom we endeavour to keep costs to a minimum. There really is something for everyone at the OBGS.


Founded in 1926, 2026 is our centenary year and we plant to make an extra special with a series of fantastic events for registered members.

Since 1927, the Club has competed in the prestigious Halford Hewitt competition - described as 'The greatest of all truly amateur tournaments' and the largest of its kind in the world. Having been losing finalists on three occasions, in 1988, 2001 and 2014, the OBGS succeeded in lifting the trophy in 2025. The Club also enters teams in the Grafton Morrish, the Mellin for over 55 year olds and the Senior Mellin for over 65 year olds, with Bradfield last winning the Mellin Salver in 2017.

The biennial tour is also very well supported and partners are actively encouraged to join. Over the years these tours have taken the Society to Florida, France and Spain as well as all over the British Isles.
