Competition results and fixtures

Congratulations to Steve Gorst who won the "midweek major", the Ben Musk Trophy, at the start of August. Steve triumphed with 38 points, edging out Tommy Tighe and Dion Rowntree, who both scored 37 points.

The two Autumn meetings are coming up in a couple of weeks. The Mckenzie runs over the weekend of 16th and 17th September, with the Bathgate following over the weekend of 23rd and 24th September. Both are majors in their own right (with trophies on offer to the player with the best nett score) and together form the Autumn scratch medal, which dates back to 1886 and is won by the best gross score over the two rounds. Please try to play in the competitions if you're around.

Club Matches

We have played two matches recently – against Mitcham (home and away), and against Chipstead (home). Following a competitive 3-3 draw at home to Mitcham we suffered a disappointing 6-0 defeat away. Our home match with Chipstead finished in a 3-3 draw.
 
We finished a respectable 2nd out of six teams in the annual Royal Wimbledon Putting Competition. Representing LSGC were Jim Boyes, David Paul, Tommy Tighe and Calum Bavin. A notable mention should go to David Paul, who won five out of his six matches. The competition was won by Malden Golf Club.
 
We also competed in the annual Triangular competition, played between LSGC, Wimbledon Common GC and Royal Wimbledon. The competition was won by Wimbledon Common GC, who hosted this year’s event. And we came 4th out of five local clubs in the Silver Jubilee, held this year at Wimbledon Park GC, with Royal Wimbledon winning the event.
 
Thanks to all those members who represented the club in these matches.
