History

In 1979 the local Municipal Golf Clubs of Merseyside decided to form a Past Captains Association similar to that

of the private clubs.  The difference being that all of the municipal past captains would be invited.

In September 1979 the Inaugural meeting was held at Bowring Golf Club with Mr Bill Clee presiding.

Thirteen clubs were involved and at the first  A.G.M. Mr. Mike Casey Allerton Park G.C. was elected

as the first Captain of the newly formed Association of Merseyside Municipal Golf Club Captains.

At this inaugural meeting the rota for Captaincy of the association was formed, it being held by 

Liverpool clubs and Wirral clubs in alternate years.  Each club elected a Club Representative and today's 

format was born.  In the early years the format of monthly matches did not exist but matches 

against Flint past captains, our main golf day which was at Woolton, Ladies Day at Bootle and a

Wirral v Lancs match were part of the fixtures.  The present day fixture list came into being around

 1986 when the Lancs v Cheshire match was introduced, and a match against Flint Captains played.

Although, both were out of the fixtures for a number of years, the Lancs v Cheshire match was re-introduced

in 2012 with resounding success and enjoyment for all those taking part.  (See Challenge Match tab above).

The number of clubs in the Association is now eighteen with Southport joining the Association in 2013.
