Access to Members' Newsletters, Blogs, Etc.

The Jigger is GHSC’s periodic newsletter, traditionally available in printed form. To date, its focus has been on Canadian golf history. GHSC members are encouraged to submit articles on any subject of interest. Since members’ interests cover many different subjects, including everything from collecting old clubs, golf books and memorabilia, the newsletter’s editor seeks out interesting articles and photographs. 

Collector’s Corner” is GHSC’s regular monthly golf collector’s digital newsletter for GHSC members to learn about, buy, sell and trade historical golf clubs and other golf collectibles.

Of Mashies and Niblicks” is GHSC’s online moderated blog where GHSC members may post their own articles and respond to each other’s posts.

GHSC periodically uses the Mailchimp platform to disseminate important news, newsletters and other information to its members via email. Members may choose to opt out from these communications.

Annual General Meeting

The GHSC Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held each year usually in March, at Golf Canada’s Golf Hall of Fame, located at The Glen Abbey Golf Course, in Oakville, Ontario. Attendees are invited to �buy – sell – trade – browse�. All may bring their treasures along. Tables are provided to display your golf memorabilia. An auction typically follows to wind up the day.

Seminars and Film Presentations

Guest speakers are available from time to time, to talk on subjects whether it be collecting, book reviews, or Canadian golf history. Since our membership is broad and knowledgeable, research information is always available – usually just a phone call away.
