Spring Maintenance

Spring Maintenance Sets the Course Up for the Season Ahead

Last week, the course at London Scottish Golf Club was closed briefly to allow our dedicated greenkeeping team the time and space to carry out essential spring maintenance.

Led by Ian Jennings, the team undertook key work to ensure the course is in top condition for the season ahead. This included verti-draining and fertilising the greens, vital processes that improve drainage, promote healthy growth and help deliver the smooth, consistent surfaces our members enjoy year-round.

It wasn’t just the greenkeepers hard at work. In a fantastic show of community spirit, volunteers from both clubs on Wimbledon Common came together to repair areas of the course, filling in holes created by wildlife and helping to protect the playing surfaces.

This joint effort highlights what makes the Common so special, a shared commitment to maintaining the course in the best possible condition for everyone who plays here.

A sincere thank you to Ian, his team and all the volunteers who gave their time and effort. Thanks to you, the course is in great shape and ready for the season ahead.

AGM

A New Chapter Begins at London Scottish Golf Club

Last night we held our Annual General Meeting, marking the close of a memorable chapter and the start of an exciting new one for London Scottish Golf Club.

Our outgoing Captain, Charlie Matthews, was warmly thanked and celebrated for his dedication, leadership and commitment to the Club over the past year. Charlie’s efforts have played an important role in strengthening the spirit of the Club both on and off the course.

We were then delighted to welcome our new Captain, Keith MacDonald, who now takes the reins for the coming year. Joining him is our new Vice Captain, Steve Brooks, and together they will help guide the Club through what promises to be another fantastic season.

The evening also marked the end of an era as longstanding committee member and former Captain, Les Hodges, stepped down after an incredible 20 years of service to the Club. Les has been a cornerstone of the Club for two decades, and we are hugely grateful for the time, energy and passion he has devoted to helping the Club.

With strong leadership in place and an enthusiastic membership behind it, the Club enters the new year in a fantastic position. We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to move the Club forward, both on the course and within our wonderful community.
