Mossel Bay Golf Club

Mossel bay Golf Club : Golf Club, Mossel Bay, 6500

 Bay Golf Club was founded in 1905 with the original golf course positioned at the old aerodrome. 

The land on which the present course was built was made available to the Club by the Mossel Bay Municipality in 1924. The course was designed by Bob Grimsdell and was built over a period of two years. 

The first President of the Club was Mr. A.I. Vintcent and the first Captain Mr. W.F Wright. The first official competition took place on 24 October 1926. The very first hole-in-one belonged to a lady, Me Doris Wassung, who achieved this on 14 September 1935.

During the period 1930 to 1945 severe droughts and a devastating depression in 1933 made the survival of the Club extremely difficult. The whole of South Africa was suffering and the population became very poor. Only the determination and the dedication of the 87 male and 47 lady members at that time, pulled the club through those difficult periods.
