Club Noticeboard

The Leicestershire Golf Club is pleased to announce that we have updated our scorecard for Societies to include three par 5's. The new scorecard for Societies can be found and downloaded  in the "Visitors" part of the menu tree on the Home page.

These any-combination competitions have been scheduled unsuccessfully this year on Sundays and have not been played or have clashed on rescheduling of other events. The re-arranged mid- week dates now in the club diary are:

Ernest Cowney- Friday 5th August – Stableford
Palfreyman – Friday 26th August – Medal – external family allowed
Greenlees – Wednesday 7th September – Stableford

A signup sheet for the Ernest Cowney is in the foyer and the other two competitions will be posted a month prior to the event.

Many members may have seen the player on the right on the putting green or the practice area in recent weeks at TLGC. Himmat Singh Rai, is currently playing on the Asian Professional Golf Tour, the third largest golf tour in the world.

Himmat  has been practicing at TLGC since 2010 and has highlighted the excellent facilities at TLGC as instrumental in helping his game improve and his good results on tour. Himmat now has a summer home in Leicester in Stoneygate and once again, has been given access to TLGC. He will be featuring the LGC logo on his tour bag and include our name on his tour events when he enters European Tour events.

Himmat has played with Rory Mclroy, Sergio Garcia and KJ Choi, to name a few. His best ranking was 16th on the sian Tour in 2011 and is currently ranked 57th, with the major part of the season still to play.

Himmat is likely to play in the Alfred Dunhill Links European tour and Czech Open European tour later this year. If you see him at TLGC please do say "hello" - he is very shy, but a charming young man and is happy to engage with members. He is also willing to talk to our Juniors, if he is around on a Sunday afternoon.

Himmat will feature in the King's Cup in Pattaya, Thailand from July 28-31 and in the Omega European Masters at Crans-sur-Sierre golf club in Switzerland from Sept 1-4
