The Patna Golf
Club
was
established
on
March
21,
1916.
The
land
originally
belonged
to
the
government
of Biharand
Orissa,
and
was
leased
to
the
South
Bihar
Gymkhana
Club.
The
club
was
formed
by
C.S.
Bayley,
among
others,
who
later
became
the
Governor
of
Bihar.
It
has
hosted
many
national
championships
from
1916.
The
membership
requires
2-3
lakhs
rupee
per
head
for
lifetime.
In
2004,
during
an
open
professional
tournament,
a
number
of
local
residents
attacked
the
club,
burning
the
main
gate
and
damaging
other
buildings.
The
residents
were
angered
because
while
the
club
had
traditionally
allowed
non-members
to
use
the
grounds
for
exercise
until
7:00
am,
the
managers
decided
to
remove
non-members
at
6:00
am
for
tournament
preparations.
The
club
is
managed
by
a
committee
consisting
of
a
President,
a
Vice-President,
a
Captain,
a
Secretary,
a
Joint-Secretary
and
a
Treasurer
among
other
members.
The
committee
is
elected
by
the
permanent
and
life
members
every
year
in
the
month
of
September
by
secret
ballot.
His
Excellency
The
Governor
of
Bihar
is
the
chief
patron
of
the
club.

Committee

the
year
2015-16
