He has served on the Management Committee for several years and became Captain in 2000.

Graham was elected President at our AGM in February 2024. His aim as Club President is to be proactive in supporting an promoting Wilton Golf Club in any way he can. He will ensure he is visible to members and visitors and to make everyone feel welcome to our Golf Club.

Ken Dixon is the the current Chairman of the Competitions Committee here at Wilton Golf Club. The committee is made up of Ken and Graham Ellis. The Committee work in conjunction with the Professional shop to organise and deliver club and open competitions for male members.

“…..in many clubs there is often one brave soul who will battle on as Chairman until he tires of the yearly abuse thrown in his direction by impatient golfers. His thankless task includes attempting to protect his green staff from the more belligerent members, and fighting in General Committee for sufficient funds with which to manage a course”

General Duties

The role of the Chairman of Greens is to liaise and work closely with our Head Greenkeeper Ron Butler, to maintain and develop the golf course to the satisfaction of the club membership.

The sub-committee’s purpose is to retain and improve the quality of the golf course to ensure it achieves excellent playing conditions for the use and enjoyment by the members, visitors and guests all year round.

With a low handicap index myself, I know the importance of having excellent greens and a quality course to play.
We meet regularly with the Head Greenkeeper with the majority held on the course so that current conditions and problems can be viewed and discussed. We plan for course maintenance and improvements all year round.
We also listen to the members to hear their thoughts and suggestions and report back to the main committee for discussion, because without members we wouldn’t be here today.

So please enjoy the course, enjoy your golf and don’t forget to repair your divots and pitchmarks!!

Simon is the Chairman of the House & Social committee. The committee is made up of Simon and Rob Hugill. They work actively in the day to day running of the clubhouse alongside the bar manager, kitchen manager and bar/kitchen staff. Simon is also very active in the organisation and promotion of our Club 52 events.
