Prior to 1990 four friends, Mr Bill Bash, Mr Mick Dwyer, Mr Roger Peach and Mr Roy Robinson would spend a Sunday morning taking part in a leisurely game of golf.  After some time they found this Sunday morning past-time was becoming more and more popular with other friends.  So after a chat they decided it would not only be a good idea, but also a way to get more of theirs friends seriously interested in the game of golf, to start a golf society.  What could they call this society that they had envisaged creating.  Well it was obviously going to be an amatuer society, as good as they thought they might be, there was not much chance of any of them turning professional!  So an amateur golf society, but the name was missing something.  All of the four friends at the time frequented the Wilsthorpe Tavern public house, so it seemed suitable to try and incorparate part of the pub name in the golf society name.  And as they say the rest is history, the Wilsthorpe Amateur Golf Society was born, or at it is more lovingly known to all its members, past and present, the WAGS.
