ROYAL BRITISH CLUB CUP TOURNAMENT 

The Royal British Club Cup saw its first tournament in 2005, which was won by A. Besselin. Since then it has been one of the highlights of our yearly events. This year it will be played as usual at Estoril Golf Club on 3rd September, followed by lunch at Mario's

THE ROYAL BRITISH CLUB GOLFING SOCIETY

The Royal British Club, Lisbon, Portugal, was founded in 1888 and obtained its royal patronage in 1903 after a state visit to Portugal by King Edward VII. His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was the patron of the Club until recently but sadly has now passed. His/Her Excellency the British Ambassador to Portugal is our President.

THE ROYAL BRITISH CLUB GOLFING SOCIETY

The Royal British Club Golfing Society owes its origin to the wish, in 1973 of the Club’s Honorary Treasurer d’Arcy Orders to increase Club activities. He wrote to a fellow Committee member Alan Jones, knowing he was a dedicated golfer, and suggested the formation of a Club Golfing Society.

Alan Jones supported the idea, arranged for his company, Cel-Cat, to donate a trophy and d’Arcy agreed to provide a cup himself. (Both these original trophies continue to be played for). Alan and d’Arcy elected themselves Captain and Honorary Secretary/Treasurer respectively!

The Inaugural Meeting was held at Estoril Golf Club on 4th April, 1974. Twenty-two members – including one lady member- competed for the Cel-Cat Cup.
