By 1963 there were 35 houses on the Enclosure, over half of which were occupied by Liphook members. Many prominent members have lived there from the early days. Col J E Blois Johnson, who lived at Hollycombe Wood, was Captain from 1928 to 1930; his wife was a member of the first first Ladies Committee and twice Ladies Captain. Allan and Doddy Macbeth - the only couple to hold captaincies simultaneously - lived at Wheatsheaf Corner. She had been British amateur lady champion. In 1963 the Club hit the gossip pages when an attractive Curtis Cup player - and former dancer - Marley Spearman - stayed on the Enclosure with members, Mr & Mrs Steven Harris, during a Ladies Championship and repaid their hospitality by marrying the husband. Grahame Bishop, Captain and President in the ‘70s and ‘80s, owned Birchwood, behind the 16th tee, where the actress Felicity Kendal now lives.
