Frilford Heath looked fabulous and played wonderfully under a day of sunshine. The triangular match is played between the LSGC, Chartered Accountants and Chartered Surveyors. The Trophy was held by the LSGC at the start of the day. The scoring is so complicated that I will simply say that one Sheridan (me) ended up presenting [...]
Although it was a home match for the NI team, we strayed over to the Republic and were rewarded by the stunning Donegal scenery and coastline. The teams stayed at the hotel at Rosapenna which was so convenient for much of the golf we played and we were all fed and wined well at the [...]
This match was played from the 23rd to the 25th May with the teams staying at the Green House Hotel in Bournemouth. The match was well managed by Philip Heyes and Stephen Moss. As you would expect, as we were by the sea, we dined at two fish restaurants, both good but the Jetty at [...]
This match was played at the beautiful Blairgowrie golf club over two days, the 10th and 11th May. We had luck with the weather and only once did the waterproofs have to come out for a few moments. We stayed at the splendid Ballathie Country Hotel which I recommend even if you are not golfing [...]
Many Past Captains gathered at Royal West Norfolk Golf Club on the day after the LSGC’s Spring Meeting which was held at the same venue.

The day dawned overcast and thankfully improved during the day such that by Kate afternoon we even saw vestiges of the sun!! A welcome sight to beckon the start of the longer days with the clock moving forward an hour overnight. Thankfully everyone playing in this match had remembered the hour change and all arrived [...]
The day dawned overcast and didn’t improve much throughout although it didn’t rain. The Circuit Judges were in fine form and created a most convivial atmosphere which is much the norm in all our matches. We were welcomed to New Zealand Golf Club as we always are by their secretary Roger Marrett. The match was [...]
The start of the LSGC golfing calendar as ever is with the match against the Valuers & Auctioneers Golf Society (VAGS) in early to mid March. I understand that it is historically held at West Hill Golf Club which is a lovely course near Woking. If you’ve not played it I’d more than happily recommend [...]
UPDATE - to all LSGC Members .. Peter Johnson, Captain of Canadian ELTC ... This past spring I had a quadruple bypass followed by the worst golf of my life. My handicap doubled and I was thinking of taking up lawn bowling. Then in September at the fall meeting in St Andrews a miracle happened. [...]
