AFTER THE GREAT WAR
No further mention can be found of The Club until an article printed on May 9th 1922 in The Pembroke County Guardian.
“The town Golf Club that lay dormant during the period of the war has been revived, and hopes are entertained of a very successful campaign. A general meeting was called at The Lord Nelson Hotel on Saturday, when the chair was occupied by Mr. Herbert Cole. It was enthusiastically agreed to revive The Club and it was reported that the 9-hole course at Goosepill would again be available.
The following officers were elected:
President Lieut. Colonel Keates Wilson.
Hon. SecretariesMessrs. R.S. Kelway and J. Ward jnr.
Treasurers Mr. Herbert Cole. L.C. & M. Bank
Committee:Messrs. P.W. Alford, J.W. Baker, A.E. Davies,
J.H. Llewellyn, and F.P. Cottrill.
Amongst other things it was decided that the subscription be two guineas per annum (£2.20p) and that special arrangements should be made for family tickets. The preparation of the course is now in hand and it is hoped that it will be completed within a month. Application for membership should be made at once to either of the Hon. Secretaries.”
Sadly Col. Roberts who was one of the original founder members in 1913 passed away on the 23rd of July 1922.
Although a number of names are missing there are still some names from the original 1913 Committee.
The following year (1923) the Committee managed to negotiate an agreement with the owners of the land at Goosepill to build a clubhouse at the Golf Course. This clubhouse consisted of a wooden structure with corrugated iron cladding. A picture of it is reproduced below together with some of the Golf Club Members.
