Graham Cocker, secretary of Fakenham Golf Club, thought of an idea which could help to achieve this and invited four other nine-hole member clubs in the county to meet and discuss a possible alliance.
A number of meetings have been held with the secretaries of the Dereham, Mundesley, Ryston Park and Feltwell clubs during which all have benefited by exchanging ideas.
The most dramatic is the agreement to allow their members to play each other's clubs free of charge.
You may also want to watch:
The arrangement is open to all full women and men members who will be able to play at each club twice during their membership year.
The facility will be available by arrangement from Monday to Friday and members will be able to invite guests, who will pay the required green fee.
