The AGM will now be held on Saturday 25th March at 6pm sharp (not the date published in the diary). This is always a very important part of the club year, so please be there if you can make it. It’s the time when members get a chance to have their say and the committee can lay out future plans for the club. The other important business of this AGM is to elect officers to help run the club and we welcome our new club captain David Groom into office.

London Scottish always needs expertise in certain areas, including accountancy, legal, marketing, web design and digital marketing. The current committee would welcome members to join this group and help shape the golf club for the years ahead. In saying that, we have a number of members who work behind the scenes and may not have the time for committee meetings or are not eligible for the committee but are happy to get involved in helping the club. Please talk to the secretary at any time if you may be in that position.

For more details on joining the committee, please talk to any of officers of the club to find out what is involved. The nomination forms are posted on the noticeboard in the clubhouse and need to completed by 11th March 2023.

We will be hosting a Burns Supper on Saturday 28th January to celebrate the life and poetry of Robert Burns, the famous Scottish poet. Burns Suppers are traditional Scottish events that are held around the world to pay tribute to Burns and his work.

Burns Suppers are a great way to celebrate Scottish culture and enjoy a delicious meal with friends. Whether you're a fan of Burns's poetry or just love good food, this is an event not to be missed!

The Am-Am is a relatively new event in the golf world, but is a great format and has replaced the traditional members guest day, where in the past only one member with one guest could play.

We can also accommodate outside teams of four to enhance the day.

This day includes Dave Paul’s Captains drive-in where he, in his new red jacket, tees it up on the first hole and (hopefully) hits one down the middle where all the guests of the Club Supper will be waiting to retrieve the ball - whoever manages it will receive a prize well worth the effort!

The members from Royal North Devon will also be attending the event and we are limited in numbers so make sure to get your name down early to avoid disappointment. The price for the evening is £30 and contact the Pro Shop to be involved.

We've had a good response to our planned Burns Night Dinner on 26 January and so confirm this will be going ahead. There may be the odd space left so if you'd like to attend please speak to Tommy Tighe.

#golfonwimbledoncommon #wimbledongolf #londonscottishgolfclub

Our captain, Tommy Tighe, is hosting an Invitation Day for members and guests on Wednesday 18 July. This will take the form of fourball better ball event, with some great prizes on offer for the best scoring pairs. The entry fee is £30 per person for members and £40 for visitors, and includes a bacon roll on arrival and a two course meal. We are hoping for a good turnout so please try to play and spread the word to your golfing friends. We will send out a separate email with further details.
 

This event replaces the Pro-am, which will not be held this year but we expect to return in 2019.
 

Hopefully this won't boar anyone but a reminder that we are hosting a hog roast at the club this Friday evening (15 June). It should be a... crackling evening... As much pig as you can eat, Spain vs. Portugal in the World Cup and the US Open Golf on TV, and good company (a swine-free zone). It's only £15 so you won't have to pork out too much of your hard earned cash.

There is no need to pre-book but if you plan to attend please let us know here

The 2018 Club Championship will be played on Saturday 26 May. For anyone who has not previously played in the event, this is one of the best days of the year at the club. It's played as a 36 hole medal event, with players going out in handicap order. The title of Club Champion is awarded to the player with the best aggregate gross score, and there are also trophies for the best aggregate net score (the Silver Jubilee) and the best gross score by a 10+ handicapper (the Gordon Coombs Trophy), as well as a host of other prizes. Food and drink will also be plentiful on the day.

The Club Championship is open to all members. If you'd like to play just sign up on the sheets that will be up at the club soon. If you can't make it to the club to sign up you can email us and we will add your name.  

Another date for your diary is the annual Club Supper, this year being held on Saturday 19 May. This is the night when the trophies won over the last year are handed out and it's always a great occasion. If you can attend please do, either by signing up at the club or emailing us.
