Club Noticeboard

Congratulations to all who finished in the Top 10 of the Winter League Season 2016/17 and especially to our winners, Marc Palmer and Christian Dean. It was an exciting last few weeks with the winners holding their nerve and maintaining their form to achieve a remarkable 81.25%. They held off the challenge from Tony Mendez and Matt Taunton, who in turn pushed David Wall and Simon Pollard into third place.

Everyone (see attached) who took part in the competition over the winter is invited to the Winter League Presentation (to the Top 10) during Club Night at 7pm on Friday, 31st March, 2017 at which you are entitled to a fish and chip supper. Also, at Club Night there will be a Presentation from Malcom Northover on Golf Rules, in particular those affected by the recent changes out on the course. A Q&A session with the General Committee will follow the supper. Other Members, Wives and/or Partners are also invited, at a cost of £5.00/head. Please add names to the list in the spike bar, so Catering know the numbers attending. Regret no names will result in no supper!

Thanks, 

Francis

CAPTAIN/PRO CHALLENGE

The Leicestershire Bramble

Saturday, 25^th March, 2017

Also, an exciting opportunity to play with a member of our Champion Scratch Team

The Leicestershire Bramble. A Bramble tournament starts off just like a scramble - the members of each team (usually four players per team) tee off, and the best drive is selected. However, in a bramble, after the best drive is selected, ALL players play from that spot and then continue playing their own ball, stroke-play style, until each has holed out, producing four individual scores.

Therefore, unlike a scramble, you get to play a complete round of golf.

Scoring: STABLEFORD     Handicap Allowance: 90%

3 Tee shots must be used by each player.

Best score on first six holes.

Best two scores on second six holes.

Best and worst score on last six holes.

Prizes:

Those beating the Captain/Pro team win back their entry fee, paid by the Captain”. ):

The WINNING TEAM are invited to play a round of golf, with the Captain Francis Lobo and the Professional Tim Stevens at COXMOOR golf club in Sutton-in-Ashfield. A heathland Open Qualifying course and accredited by England Golf as a Championship Venue.

Francis Lobo, Club Captain, with the support of Phil Thomason, has obtained a Leicester City shirt, signed by Jamie Vardy, on the day he scored his hat-trick, last December!

Francis is auctioning this collector’s item via a silent auction, with proceeds going to his chosen charity Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA).

It was a 5000-1 shot that Leicester City would win last year's title... Don't miss out on the chance to win a permanent reminder of such a remarkable achievement!

Good Luck!

TLGC's very own Head Professional, Tim Stevens, has recently been awarded with the TGI Award for 'Most Improved Business'.

I, on behalf of the club, would like to congratulate Tim on this achievement.

Well done Tim!
