Flying Start!
The Leicestershire have made an excellent start to the 2010 L&RGU Scratch League campaign.
With two wins from two matches it couldn't be better.
The season opener was a home fixture against Cosby which is always a tough match, however, the Team recorded an excellent 6.5 - 1.5 victory.
The next match was against Kibworth (away) and the result was another win but the margin was much closer being 4.5 - 3.5.
Congratulations to Team Captain, Adrian Jones and all the players involved.

Lars Helgeson is President of "The Leicestershire & Rutland Golf Captains Association". On Tuesday 18th May, Lars chose Brocton Hall for the Presidents away day. Pictured are Lars with all the past Captains of Leicestershire who were in attendance. It was a wonderful day, on a wonderful course with great weather and company. Brocton Hall Golf Club was founded in 1894 and moved to its present location at Brocton, near Stafford, in 1923. The beautiful 18 hole parkland golf course, on the edge of Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, was designed by Harry Vardon and its layout remains very largely as he planned it. The mature trees and attractive water features combine to provide a searching test of golf. Chris Sturmey |

The annual Club versus Club Captains was held on Saturday 8th May where the Past Captains Side was represented by twenty-two distinguished members (see picture below). |

An excellent lunch was enjoyed by both teams with the wine flowing freely and the customary large glasses of Kummell!
Many stories of both past and present Captains were enjoyed among the participating teams. Play eventually began around 2:20 p.m. where there was initial banter but a more serious tone materialised as the competition got under way.
The tees and handicaps had been negotiated over lunch and though questioned by many of the participants the match resulted in an honourable half for both teams.
A great day and we look forward to next year!!
