What is SAGES?
Sages Senior Golfers, the short form of the name being Sages, is a
golfing society for senior golfers. Members of golf clubs who have
reached the age of 50 are eligible to join any of the branches spread
over Southern Africa.
These branches arrange tournaments at different golf clubs within its
area one or more times per month. Sages enjoy the opportunity of
fellowship with other senior golfers, and the opportunity to play with
Sages at different courses all over the country.
A Brief History OF SAGES
Sages started in 1974 as a result of an increasing demand from senior
golfers who felt the need for an organisation that would meet their
requirements. The first branch, Rand Central (now called Jimmy Gowans
branch), was formed in 1974 under the chairmanship of founder member
Jimmy Gowans. The other branches followed in quick succession, with the
first Sages National Champion being crowned in 1978.
By 2008 there were 28 branches with a total of about 3000 members.
