The Senior section adopted the name of The Willmott’s  in honour and recognition of Mr. Charles Willmott who, when he came to Woburn Sands in 1912, was involved in the design and construction of the original nine hole course. He had been the Professional at the Club for forty two years when he retired in 1956. A bust sculpture of him is displayed in the entrance lobby of the Club house.

Aspley Guise and Woburn Sands GC senior men, that is golfers of 60 years and older,( now 55 years) are eligible to join The Willmotts Section. The Willmotts Section promotes competitive golf for seniors, and organises a number of social events. It also organises an annual golfing holiday with a full programme of competitions for the golfers and other activities for non-golfers.

Willmotts competitions, which are played from the yellow tees, are usually held on Monday and Thursday mornings. The format of these competitions can be found in the Club Diary. Some are individual stroke-play competitions that qualify for handicap adjustments. In addition there are both home and away matches against other clubs and matches against other sections within our own club.

Most competitions are played for prizes, which are funded from the entrance fee. The matches against other clubs and some of the other competitions are followed by a meal.

The section, of around sixty members, has its own elected Captain and committee. It is also able to generate sufficient funds to enable it to be self-supporting.
