Southampton Golf Club

Southampton golf club was established at the Municipal course in 1935. Prior to this the club was nomadic playing competitions on other courses, much like a society today. Some events were even staged on the Common on Sundays. The Sports Centre, and the Golf Course, was the brain-child of Sir Sidney Kimber. He envisaged the council providing leisure activities for the people of Southampton after the Great War and work finally started in the thirties.
