The Halletts is open to any male member of Coed-y-Mwstwr Golf Club aged 18 or over, with a playing handicap of 28 down to 17.5. We meet every Wednesday from the end of March to the end of August, the First Tee is booked from 1700 to 1730. There is a 12 hole Stableford competition every Wednesday over this period with a sleeve of balls as the prize. This is open to any non-Hallett paying the £1 entry fee.

The joining fee is £10 with weekly subs of £1. A match fee of £6 is payable for those selected. The proceeds go towards the cost of an awayday at the end of the season. This is subsidised for all Halletts who are fully up to date with their subs.

Matches  

All matches involve four scoring pairs and one reserve pair and are played in matchplay foursomes format off scratch. Each scoring match counts for one point. A sheet will be posted on our notice board in advance of each match for those available to play. The scoring teams will be selected on merit, but the reserves are usually rotated to give everyone who wishes to play a chance.

All those selected to play will be expected to stay for the meal afterwards. Jacket and tie required. The match fee is payable whether the meal is taken or not. 

League and Cup Fixtures 2008

Halletts Committee 2008                 

This year we hope to hold our own Halletts Open Day at the Coed-Y-Mwstwr Golf Club and will be sending invitations to all clubs in the Hallett Cup Golf Society and the west Wales equivalent, the Stones Golf Society.

History                                 

The origin of the Halletts golf society was established in 1946 at the end of the Second World War. Mr. Arthur Hallett, a member of Wenvoe Castle Golf Club, was the main instigator of the society. He saw a way to meet fellow golfers of comparable handicaps, hold a social evening and fit in a game of golf at the same time. The spirit of the game is always friendly, even though there is an element of competition as well. There are 42 clubs who are members of the Halletts Cup Golf Society mostly based in the old counties of Mid-Glamorgan, South Glamorgan and Gwent although there is one member club in Powys and one in Gloucestershire. 

Each year the 42 clubs are drawn into six leagues of seven clubs with every team in each league playing each other home and away. The six league winners then qualify for the play-off for a place in the final which is generally held at Wenvoe Castle. There is also a knock-out competition again with the final at Wenvoe Castle. 

The Aims

To familiarise new golfers with the Rules of the game, particularly those relating to etiquette.

To show by example that, in golf, standards of conduct are still considered important.

To teach players how to be competitive but still retain sportmanship and good social relationships.

To enable people to play a variety of courses, with the accent on inter club relationships.

To help new golfers pass through the society and on to teams playing off lower handicaps.

Other News 

The winner of the league competition hosts an Open Day for all 42 teams in the following year, usually in late July/early August. This year the Open Day will be on Sunday 29th July 2007 and the host club will be Brynhill. We will be entering a team of 4 which normally consists of the Hallett Captain and three others to be selected by a method of the Captains choosing.  

There are also Hallett open days run by other clubs. For such events, each club enters a team of 4 although more teams may be permitted subject to availability (there is usually plenty of room for extra teams). Participation is on a first come first served basis and the entry fee is normally about £50 per team. Details will be posted on our notice board and if interested in such an event, please put your name down.
