Royal Wimbledon Match Report

On the 4th November, 10 LSGC members played Royal Wimbledon Golf Club in our annual match. This is played in singles and every match is played to its conclusion in this interesting format - if you are 4 down with 3 to play, there is still the opportunity to win the last few holes and finish 1 down.

Well done to the Captain, Dave Paul; Calum Bavin; Jim Boyes; Les Hodges; Jason Costain; Tommy Tighe; Chris Bunning; Charles Atlee; Jamie McConnachie and Arthur Stoddart for coming out on top with a score of 17-12. The score was 9-12 with two matches to go, but LSGC came in with 5 up and 3 up to seal the victory!

The trophy will be held at Royal Wimbledon Golf Club, in their impressive dining room, so make sure you take a look if you get a chance to visit!
