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.
The 2019 trophy was held on Monday 2 September at Hilton Templepatrick Hotel Golf and Country Club, when the North East region were again the winners. For a report of the day please click on the link below.
