BSIA Golf Society
The BSIA's Golf Society provides operators and colleagues within the UK Security Industry a network where you can enjoy networking with like-minded individuals and create a community whose members are dedicated to enjoying and playing the sport of golf.
Golf Society Objective
Golf transcends being a mere sport; it's an opportunity for camaraderie and networking among like-minded individuals, all with one shared enjoyment of the sport. Business owners and colleagues connect while navigating the course, fostering relationships beyond the boardroom. Golf fosters shared enjoyment, challenges bond players, and creates open avenues for mutual growth.
Who Can Join?
The BSIA Golf Society is open to both BSIA members and non-members alike. Our only caveat is that if you are not an existing BSIA member, you must provide proof of working for a security company or manufacturer operating in the UK. Additional benefits and discounts are also provided to BSIA members throughout the year over and above non-BSIA members.
How To Join
Joining couldn’t be easier, in the first instance email us with your completed booking form to register your interest including name, company/organisation, and handicap where applicable. Don’t worry if you don’t have proof of handicap, we will find players' abilities and levels throughout the year. There is a one-off annual BSIA membership administration fee of £35 per annum per individual payable with registration.

The 2024 BSIA Golf Society Season
What an amazing inaugural season 2024 proved to be for the BSIA Golf Society. Full of twists and turns, the season was set to be dominated by twice Open winner Alex Booth from Aura Solutions. However, golf never runs true to form and with a disastrous last round, Alex left the door open for Masaya Kidda from Optex to be crowned BSIA Golf Society Champion 2024. Congratulations to Masaya on a great performance.
In truth many winners were created by the society in 2024. New friendships were forged, business relationships grew and the standard of golf!! Well what happens on the course stays on the course.
2025 Tournament
The next BSIA Golf Society Open will be:
17 September at Worsely Park Golf (Manchester)
The BSIA Golf Society will not reserve rooms or buggies for the day for attendees. This must be done directly by you through the golf course or hotel. Spaces for each BSIA Open are booked on a first come, first serve basis with a non-refundable cancellation fee.

The Format
In our inaugural year, each event will be an individual Stableford (full handicaps) competition. Depending on how many events you decide to enter, your scores will be combined, and an average recorded against your appearances made.
i.e. If you play twice, scoring 33 points in your first round and 37 points in your second round, then your average score will be 35 points for the season (33+37) / 2 appearances = 35 points.
If you only choose to enter one event, that Stableford score will be recorded as your average for the season.
Whilst we will have an individual winner and runner-up at each BSIA Open Event, scores will continue to be tracked with an overall winner for the year being chosen by the best average Stableford score for 2025.
Handicaps
Handicaps will be tracked and adjusted after each event. Should you only enter once in the calendar, that handicap adjustment will roll over to the following season or the next time a player plays. Handicap adjustment will be plus or minus one handicap stroke for every two points above or below the average for the day's tournament.
Organisational Structure
The BSIA's Golf Society is run by the BSIA with a view to supporting and funding the organisation. A contribution will go towards the BSIA's chosen charities for the year. Handicaps will be recorded and adjusted accordingly by BSIA Chief Commercial Officer, Paddy Kyle. All finances will be managed by the BSIA Finance Team, and any administration will be managed by the BSIA Administration Team, BSIA Marketing and Communications Team and BSIA Membership Team.
