Early records for the Inter-Service (IS) Tournament are not well documented. The RAFGA is indebted to Gp Capt (retd) Roger Carr, Hon Sec of the RAFGS, for researching prior to 1972, as follows:

• From the 23 May 46 RAFGS committee meeting minutes, it was reported that the RAF team had beaten the Army for only the second time in the Society’s history. The RN was unable to arrange a team.
• From the 13 Dec 46 RAFGS committee meeting minutes, it was agreed that other ranks could play in IS matches. It is not known whether Army & RN agreed.
• From the 1947 RAFGS Handbook, it was stated that the IS Tournament was to be held at Sandwich 19-21 May. The result is not known.
• From the 1948 RAFGS Handbook, it was stated that the IS Tournament was to be held at Royal St George’s 19-21 May. The result is not known.
• From the 1949 RAFGS Handbook, it was stated that the IS Tournament was to be held at Sandwich 16-18 May. The 27 May 49 committee meeting records that the RAF defeated the Army & RN. The meeting also recorded that Flt Lt Max McCready had just won the British Amateur Championship; the committee sent him a telegram of congratulations.

• From the 3 Sep 52 RAFGS AGM minutes, it is recorded that the RAF Sports Board had advised the RAFGS that golf would be excluded from Inter-Service Sports from 1953. The AGM approved a motion which deplored the decision and urged the authorities to revise it.
