Having joined the club in the same year that Anthony Eden resigned as prime minister, Mr White said “so much has changed in that time.”
“The landscape, the clubhouse, the sport itself – it’s remarkable to think I’ve been a member here for almost 70 years,” he said.
On what had kept him playing for so long, he said: “Friendships, associations and challenges.”
“Every round of golf is different, you play the same course, but you never play it the same way,” he added.
When asked what advice the quartet would give to young players, Mr Digweed said the best he had received in his 57 years of golfing came from his first coach at Oxford.
“He said I would be okay as long as I hit my bad shots straight,” he said.
“That was great advice, and has stuck with me!”
