The Army Golfing Society, as the pre-eminent golfing organisation in the Army was responsible for a number of Championships around the world. Where our presence ceased to be, or the Army Golf Association (AGA) became the pre-eminent organisation, so our record keeping stopped. All those Championships are recorded below. The records for the Army Golfing Championships, organised by the Society until the mid – 1980s are now held by the AGA.
