Many of the Regions and Branches of the Institution run social and competitive golf during the year. However, The Thomas Telford Trophy is the highlight of the Golf Section year – it is an annual competition between teams of four players from each of the Regions/Branches of the Institution. The first Thomas Telford Trophy was held at Wentworth Golf Club in 1986, when Sir William Francis, then chairman of the Civil Engineers’ Club and of Thomas Telford Ltd, presented the cup to the winning Yorkshire team.
Thomas Telford Trophy 2024
ICE South East invited golfers to Hayling Island for the Thomas Telford Trophy on 1st and 2nd September 2024. Hayling Golf Club is one of the premier links golf courses on the South Coast and the only true links course between Rye and Cornwall. Having hosted a number of Championship events over the years, giving it Championship Course status, the quality of the course attracts golfers from far and wide and it is recognised as a Top 50 Golf Course in England and Top 100 Links Golf Course in UK & Ireland.
The South West have been the only team never to have won the trophy, but they put that behind them to win this year with a score of 190 points. It was a very close-run thing between three teams and the North East were just pipped this year and came second with 189 points with last year’s hosts, Wales, in third
with 188 points.
