A Message from our Club Captains

Chris Humphreys - Gents Captain 2025

“Having been a member of Hallamshire Golf Club since 1976 I am honoured to be the Gentlemen’s Captain of Hallamshire Golf Club for 2025. Honoured and indeed relieved as the end of 2024 sees me step down as Honorary Treasurer of the Club, and finally get to ensuring that the only adding up is “shots taken” rather than the usual “Profit and loss account or Balance Sheet.”

My predecessors have set an extremely high bar during their captaincies, and I hope to build on all their great work. Hallamshire has been an integral part of my Family’s life since my Mum and Dad relocated to Sheffield in 1966 with my Dad subsequently joining the Club in 1968 - throughout that period it has provided friendship, support, sport, health and wellbeing to all of my Family. I owe Hallamshire more than it ever owes me and this was never clearer than during the Global pandemic when it provided the only outlet in a very difficult World.

With this in mind, rest assured I will be doing everything in my power and ability to represent the Club and its Members, and to ensure that our club remains a welcoming, friendly and safe environment for all. Whether you are a Member or visitor I hope you always enjoy your experience and come back for more.

I am delighted that Hazel is the Lady Captain and look forward to working with her and playing golf together during this year. I am already hugely indebted to her in supporting me in our choice of Captains charity for 2025. We are delighted to announce that the Captains charity for 2025 is Sheffield Futures, a local Charity supporting Young Adults to feel well, have a voice and get into the training, education or work that is right for them.  I have been Chair of Trustees for over ten years and have been astounded at the work that they do in very challenging and sometimes chaotic environments. My amazement is that this not fully funded by Government but instead relies on grant funding and donations. Anything that we can raise during the year will make a difference.”

Hazel Fisher -Lady Captain 2025

I joined Hallamshire Golf Club in 2010 and have greatly enjoyed being a part of a very successful ladies section. I am delighted to represent the ladies as their Captain in 2025.  I play most Wednesdays in competitions, and have always enjoyed playing with as many different members as possible. I also play in team matches and enter Am Ams with Hallamshire friends.  I look forward to working with the Men’s Captain, Chris to build on the great job done by our immediate predecessors Phil and Jayne.

Traditionally the Men’s and Ladies’ Captains support a charity. During 2025 we will be raising funds for Sheffield Futures - a charity supporting young people to, feel well, have a voice and get the training, education or work that’s right for them. I hope the membership will support the events we are planning to raise funds for this worthy cause.

I look forward to working with all our staff whether in the Professional`s Shop, Clubhouse, or out on the Course.  I am delighted to be Lady Captain and will do the job to the best of my ability.

Best regards

Hazel
