About Us

A Brief History of Magily GS now the Elburton GS

The first meeting was on the 1st April 2004 after many discussions at the Elburton Inn, to have our own Golf Society, of which many of us already played for other Societies. 

This meeting took place and Dave Foley of Magily Ltd offered to sponsor the Society, thus becoming Magily GS.  

In the first year we played just 7 venues each year March to September, but increased that the following year to 8 venues March to October. Apart from match trophies in the early days we had the Order of Merit trophy which was replaced by the Eclectic, and the Players Player of the Year Trophies.

The Society has always had Charities at heart, and supported many local and well deserved charities, to  name but a few was Downham School (now Cann Bridge School), a life jacket project in Falmouth to get Disabled Children out on the water in sailing boats, and St. Lukes.  In 2015 we started our donations in support of the Chestnut Appeal (Prostate Cancer) and we continue to support this worthy cause, with the help of Santander who have match funded our efforts up to 2022.  Hopefully this will continue in the future.  

2024 sees us rename the Society to the Elburton GS and continue to prosper and provide members with a quality friendly Society that has lasted now 20 years.
