Ladies Section

I’d like to welcome you to the Leicestershire golf club. We have a thriving lady’s section at our club. The WHS really works well for ladies to play an even game whatever your handicap on our beautiful course.
We encourage you to join us on a Tuesday for our competition day no matter what your handicap is, you will be made welcome.
Our lady’s section is very friendly and inclusive. We have a new to golf pathway for complete beginners. Anybody interested in starting golf will have a warm welcome. We also invite our existing lady members to join the ladies’ teams for county and club matches, where you will have the opportunity to play lots of different and interesting courses. Please pick up the fixture list. If your husband/partner plays golf, we have a number of mixed matches against other clubs in the county and beyond. These are friendly social events, again giving you the chance to play other courses.
We have a thriving junior section Mums often get interested in joining whilst bringing their children into the sport.
I started my golf journey in 2010 at Humberstone Heights and moved to The Leicestershire in 2017 when the ladies section at Humberstone Heights became unviable. Since joining the Ladies section at the Leicestershire, I have felt so welcomed that I have enjoyed playing with each and every member of the section

Welcome to our website and club.
Kind regards

Liz Everson
Lady Captain

Junior Section

I am Karan Johal and am looking forward to my role and playing for the club this year. I play for the Leicestershire girls county and am currently studying my GCSE’s. It is an honour to be appointed junior captain and I appreciate the clubs’ good wishes and support for this coming year.

We are a successful junior section at the Leicestershire and are very fortunate to have a highly dedicated team of junior organisers, who ensure the junior section is both exciting and well operated throughout the season. We have more than 60 juniors with a great mix of girls, boys and abilities. We are constantly creating opportunities for beginners and the more developed golfers to improve their game in fun and exciting training sessions and competitions. The Junior committee is run by Parin Patel, Marion Keene, Osman Bawa and Daniel Burke, and we are supported by the club head professional Peter Livie and Jevan Parmar. We provide a safe and fun environment for juniors, equipping them with golfing and life skills, whilst helping them to achieve their golfing goals.

Juniors wellbeing
The club is part of the golf mark scheme, all committee members are DBS checked and attend regular child safeguarding courses, as we take the safety of the juniors very seriously.

What do we offer our juniors?
At the TLGC we think it’s important that Juniors learn the great game but also have fun and build friendships. As such, there is a range of activities for Juniors to get involved in. Every Sunday we offer a free one-hour session, where Juniors can receive coaching, participate in skills challenges and games but mainly have fun; these are well attended all year round. Anyone interested in finding out more about what we do at TLGC can attend two taster sessions, to experience what we have to offer. Also, each junior is entitled to a free monthly 30 minute individual coaching session, with either of the club’s professionals.

Facilities
The Leicestershire Golf Club offers great facilities for all golfers including juniors, not only on the course but off as well. We have multiple junior tees to match all abilities including Blue and Black discs for our younger and inexperienced juniors on all eighteen holes. Allowing juniors to play from a tee that suits their ability with a chance to make pars and birdies. There are also great practice and teaching facilities to help juniors to improve their game.

Competitions
Competition is an important part of golf and, whilst not compulsory, we encourage juniors to improve and better themselves; and this is best achieved through playing in a competitive environment. There are regular competitions for both handicapped and non-handicapped juniors at the club and a number of our juniors play in several regional and national tour competitions. We have a Junior County League team and encourage all juniors with handicaps to play in it. Once a year we organise the Festival of Golf competition; this is the one of the largest Junior Open competitions in the county with around 80 juniors from all over Leicestershire competing.


Senior Section

Welcome to our world. Only sentient intelligence has been used in the writing of this as AI is a step too far for most seniors. Responding to change and adapting is an integral part of survival, it is part of evolution. Times change, and our club is changing. The leads in the Office, Proshop and on the Greens have all being appointed to post within the past year. The other exciting development is our catering partnership which we have just embraced, and the early offerings have been a refreshing quantum step up in quality and freshness.

I first tried to join ‘The Leicestershire’ in 1995, just two years after moving to Leicester with my family. I was sent home from the clubhouse office after being told I was wearing ‘patch pocket jeans’ and couldn’t join, as I had no Handicap, and no sponsors. All of which confirmed my preconceptions that the club was ‘stuffy’ and stuck in the past. I finally joined about 15 years ago and was never particularly active in the club. Direct observation has changed my misconceptions, I have learnt directly about the ‘beau melange’ of life at the club.

My, how things have changed. The last four years, with the joy of retirement, more Hygge, and the freedom to play when I want means I’ve engaged with what a member’s club really means. It is more than just 18 holes.

At your club, The Leicestershire, our senior’s section is cohesive and supports the corporate values and goals of our powerful members management structure. As a group we want to have more fun on the course and off the course. Yes, we deliver all the core functions of a Seniors section, Interclub matches, senior’s competitions and more than just 18 holes. We are agile and will respond to concerns. I am not really the seniors Captain; I am just a middleman in a very functional seniors section committee that helps make things happen.
