Inaugural Joint Event between LSGC and WCGC

On the August Bank Holiday on Monday, LSGC hosted the inaugural joint competition with WCGC. The day was a great success with the team of Charlie Matthews, Tommy Tighe, Sarah Waller and Andy Ryan coming out on top with a fantastic score of 114 points.

The format for the day was best two scores of the fourball count on each hole apart from the five par 3's, where the pressure was on and every score counted! Thank you to the three Captains for organising such a memorable day, Adam and his team for putting on a wonderful selection of food as usual and Ian and his team for getting the course in stunning condition despite the incredibly dry conditions they have been faced with.

“I have heard nothing but good feedback and positive comments from the ladies who played”

We're looking forward to next year already!

2022 Club Championship

Wonderful weather dawned on us for the Club Championship; Ian Jennings and the greenkeeping team presented the course in flawless condition with beautifully defined fairways, tricky pin placements and true, fast greens!

Just under 60 members competed on the day, and the winner of the Club Championship trophy was Kevin Metcalfe for a second year in a row, with a very solid score of 73 + 73 = 146. The runner up was LSGC Captain David Paul.
The Silver Jubilee Trophy, for the best aggregate score on handicap over the two rounds, went to David Groom who beat Nigel Cattle countback, with a nett score of 140.
The Gordon Coombs Trophy is awarded to the player, with a handicap of 10 and over, with the best scratch score over the two rounds. This was won by long standing member John Prigg with a 166 combined total. The 18 hole stableford event was won by Richard Flood with a total of 40 stableford points.

Adam and his team put on some fantastic food for all the competitors and a big thank you must also go to John for expertly acting as a starter and Joe for producing the scoreboard and helping with entering the scores on the day. Adam and his team also produced an excellent summer buffet.
