A total of less than half an hour has been spent in my water proofs in LSGC matches this year, and not one minute in our match against our Welsh friends. Worplesdon, in warm autumnal sunshine. What more could a golfer ask for? Victory against the Welsh is the answer! It was close, waiting to [...]
Fittingly, following on from the Ryder Cup victory in Paris, this match was staged at one of the great Open Championship courses, Royal Liverpool GC, otherwise simply known as Hoylake. It was unfortunate that the course was in the middle of it Autumn make over and the greens had been treated and sanded. Nevertheless it [...]
It was the first time your Captain had played in this match and at Hankley Common. Wow! It's a gem of a course and we were able to play all day in glorious sunshine. The greens were as good as any we have played this year and the whole course was in great condition, particularly [...]
Played at the wonderful Saunton golf club, over both courses. The LSGC got a little over excited by being ahead after the first day. Mistake. The Irish came back at us and eventually ran out the winners 14.5 to 8.5. Not withstanding the result the few days were a great success due in part to [...]
This match was a little disappointing. Firstly we lost ( rather too well), and secondly the condition of the course was not great. Most of the courses we have played this year have (of course) been causality to the glorious weather, but unfortunately this normally magnificent course had been treated, heavily sanded and hollow tinning [...]
Played at Frilford Heath, near Abingdon, we enjoyed - yet again- glorious weather, good golf courses and some of the best greens that the LSGC have played on this year. In addition, good food, wine and plenty of banter provided the necessary mix for an excellent Championship.. Our President was in attendance and in good [...]
