A very brief History of the GSGB

Founded in 1955 by the late Sir Aynsley Bridgland of Prince's Golf Club. His dream was, that in the troubled times after the war, there should be generated a spirit of goodwill and international friendship through a common sporting link, namely "The Love of Golf".

Sir Aynsley also provided the majority of the finance to initiate the research into the publication of the book "The Search for The Perfect Swing", by Alistair Cochran and John Stobbs. The Society still receives royalties from the book and it can be bought from the GSGB Secretary.

The Society continues his aims of promoting amateur golf through the sponsorship of Junior Golf Tournaments and through donations to the Junior Section of the Society's Participating Clubs.
