We have had to clean the carpet numerous times over the last few months due to members and visitors wearing golf shoes and unclean trainers in the main bar. Please be respectful of the clubhouse and the time that goes into keeping it clean for everyone to enjoy!
Also, no hats are to be worn while the main bar and there is to be no vaping - anyone using a vape will be asked to take it outside.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Last weekend brought the second half of the 2021 Autumn Meeting. This meeting consists of two majors, the Bathgate Challenge Cup and the Mackenzie Challenge Cup, played over two weekends.
The winner of the Bathgate was Keith McDonald (87 - 20 = 67), on countback to Dave Paul (72 - 5 = 67) and the winner of the Mackenzie was Conan Bailey with a magnificent score of 77 - 14 = 63, four shots ahead of George Simmonds (80 - 13 = 67).
Congratulations to Aaron Stewart for winning the 2021 Autumn Scratch, awarded to the best gross score over the two major competitions in the Autumn Meeting, with two great rounds of 73 and 75, totalling 148. Finally, another congratulations to George Simmonds for winning the 2021 Captains Prize, given to the best nett score over the Autumn Meeting. George’s two consistent 67s were enough to get his hands on the prize, picked specifically by the Captain.
LSGC were proud to feature during NBC’s British Open coverage on the Golf Channel. They created a short film about the history of golf on Wimbledon Common and were extremely interested in the tradition of wearing pillar box red shirts when playing golf!
Thank you to the members who took part in the film, providing the viewers with interesting anecdotes and information about the third oldest golf club in England! We have received a great response from golf fans in the US and can’t wait to welcome them at the club on their future travels across the pond.
