The Association was founded by the late Cliff Britton in 2002.<\/p>\n
The Association had 6 clubs playing in the league, and they were based at Oxford, Gloucester, Swindon, Portsmouth, Reading and Brighton with 30+ members.<\/p>\n
After 2002 Swindon merged with Gloucester, while West Country, Bournemouth, South-27(Portsmouth), Oxon in the West League Zone & Farnborough merged with Reading, and Brighton, Luton, Luton Outsiders, Kent, West Ham A & B became the East League Zones.<\/p>\n
Sadly Cliff died unexpectedly in December 2004 but the Association has been going from strength to strength, in his memory.<\/p>\n
The Association is expanding with more than 80+ members and we expect our member numbers to get larger each year, and now has 12 clubs, 12 of which are in the two leagues; West and East League Zones. Which hold many different competitions\/tournaments annually (www.southdeafgolf.co.uk).<\/p>\n
After 2014, We were nicely surprised to find there are more teams for League Matchplay. This Season we will have 14 clubs, last season there were 11 clubs; SDGA is expanding well. We’re absolutely delighted to announce we have broken the record our 100 member\u2019s barrier now we stand 109 members that\u2019s best ever we had.<\/p>\n
The members come from all over the South Area of England and we enjoy a family type atmosphere, where we all get together and have fun.<\/p>\n
