We were sorry to hear of the sad passing of Clive Hutchinson, a long time member of Neath Golf Club, and a great supporter of their team and individual success. Clive was elected to the executive of the Golf Union of Wales, and also to the executive of Glamorgan County Golf Union.

His very personal talents and good humour were put to good use by GUW, appointing him to the Championship team, forging a great partnership with Liz Edwards, the Championship Manager. Together they managed many events throughout Wales for some years, with Clive’s strong character thriving with starter duties and supporting the final outcome issues that arose.

These skills were also put to good use by Glamorgan CGU, with Clive assisting  at all age group events, when his busy schedule allowed. His health in recent times has kept him away from the golfing scene, but he still took a keen interest in affairs, keeping up to date with County and Neath successes. Our condolences to his family at this sad time, he will be missed and fondly remembered by his golfing friends throughout Wales.

The Funeral is at Margam Crematorium,  Tuesday September 23 at 12.00    followed by the wake at Neath Golf Club

The Glamorgan County Golf Union was founded on March 8th 1928 at the Royal Hotel in Cardiff. The first Chairman was Hubert J Edmunds of Whitchurch golf club and the first secretary was R. Cope Lewis of Radyr. The intention was to enhance the quality of golf in Wales by arranging more tournaments as a stepping stone to international prominence for outstanding players. Royal Porthcawl was designated as the venue for the first championship meeting on Saturday June 9th. The meeting was an extraordinary success in every way with Mr. GS Emery becoming the first County Champion and Glamorganshire the first holders of the County Club Championship.
