The society has two principal functions, first to provide a structure of social golf days throughout the year for old boys and girls of Hurstpierpoint College of all different standards and secondly to represent the school in many of the competition events that exist through the public schools golfing association – of which there are several.

Over the past few years, the Society has been able to field an increasingly stronger team in the major inter school events such as the Halford Hewitt, the Grafton Morrish and the Sussex Schools. At the 2025 Halford Hewitt, five members of the ten person team were aged 30 years or under with handicaps ranging from scratch to 4. In 2023, the team reached the last 16 in the 64 schools Halford Hewitt event and in 2025 had a dramatic win in the first round over Rugby, with the deciding match going to the 20^th hole. Hurst won the Sussex Schools annual competition playing against Eastbourne, Brighton and Lancing in 2024.

The Society organises golf days for all categories of golfer with Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter meetings at courses such as West Sussex, Walton Heath, and East Sussex National, and has an annual match against Eastbourne followed by a dinner

In addition to the society days at lovely courses like West Sussex, Royal Ashdown and Royal Cinque Ports, we have additional friendly matches against other old school teams – Eastbourne, Canford and Aldenham are regular fixtures, plus another scratch match involving Eastbourne, Brighton and Lancing in a quadrangular match at West Sussex GC.

We are very keen to welcome new members who went to school at Hurstpierpoint and of course their guests and old school colleagues to our many social events throughout the year – do join in and bring your OJ friends.
