Welcome to Lancashire County Senior Ladies' Golf Association

I would like to thank all the Ex Captains for giving me the opportunity to be your Captain for 2021. I would also like to thank my club, Formby Ladies', for the support that they have already given me.

I'm really looking forward to working with Ex-Captain Diana, President Jane, Vice Captain Carmel and our very hard working Committee. I know that we will have a challenging year again, but I believe that 2021 will be better than 2020, and I hope we will all get to play some golf!

I would compare the situation we're in to a dogleg on the golf course, and with the vaccine imminent I hope we're round the corner with the green in sight, and no hidden trouble guarding the green!

As you know, all subscriptions for paid up members have been rolled over to 2021.

All the updated competitions dates and venues for 2021 are on the Competitions Page of this site.  Competition Entries open on 31st January, apart from the Championship which will open at a later date. There's a varied selection of courses and I hope to see you around the County. It feels quite exciting getting back to seeing old friends.

Please also remember to check out the NCVLGA website to find out when and where their pre and post season team events will be in 2021. In previous years entries have opened in December and the events fill up very quickly, so keep your eyes open. 

Additional dates that may be of interest are the Northern Championship which will be held at Bishop Auckland in Durham from 18th – 20th May and the Jamboree, which will be held at Glenbervie Golf Club from 2nd – 5th August.

Also, The Brenda King Foursomes was a resounding success last year. In 2021, it will be played at Wollaton Park Golf Club, Nottingham from 26th -28th July, follow the link for full details and entry form. Brenda King Foursomes

I'm looking forward to 2021 and I hope you are too. In the meantime we mustn't take our eyes off the ball. We must remain ever vigilant and beat this virus.

I wish you all a safe and successful 2021!

In these Covid times it's good to have something uplifting to report on.  Our most long standing member Joan Cheadle from Bolton Old Links was 100 years young last week.  As you can see she received her birthday card from the Queen and was inundated with cards and presents.  Joan's lowest handicap was 6 and she was a very keen competitor. Joan also proved to be very supportive as Captain of both the LCVLGA team and the NCVLGA Jamboree Team.  A list of her achievements are below.

President Manchester and District Ladies Golf Association 1985
Captain Northern Counties Veteran Ladies' Golf Association 1987
Winner of the Lancashire County Veteran Ladies' Championship 1987
President LCVLGA 1996-97

With COVID19 regulations and restrictions changing frequently we wanted to let you know what our intentions are in 2021.

We intend to run all competitions in 2021, if advice provided by the Government and England Golf allow. We will ensure that our priority will always be the health and safety of all competitors and organisers, before making any decisions which may affect them.

Please check the website regularly for up-dates and developments. We would like to thank you for your continued support of the Association.

In view of the uncertainty around the possible restrictions that could be in place in late April, we have decided to postpone our 2021 Championship and Silver Meeting. It will now be played from 26th - 28th September but still at Formby Ladies. Everyone involved has their fingers and toes crossed that the September sun will shine on us. LCSLGA are extremely grateful to Formby Ladies' Golf Club for allowing this delay. More information will follow in due course about dates for submission of your entries so keep watching the website.

In addition, the Autumn Team Event which was due to be at Blackburn Golf Club will now be at Lytham Green Drive Golf Club, still on 6th September.

We plan to open entries for all our events on 31st January, with a closing date of 28th February.   Before you make your entry requests you will need to update your new WHS HANDICAP INDEX onto your Member Details by logging into the secure area of our website.  Click here to log in  and then click on Member Details to check your details and update your Handicap Index.

Changes for 2021 - In 2021, due to Covid 19 tee time restrictions the Championship and Silver Meeting at Formby Ladies' Golf Club will be played in three's. If you do not know enough members to enter in a three, you can enter online in a two or as a single player and the Organiser, Mrs Christine Entwistle will endeavour to organise you into three's.

The Cecil Leitch Trophy, which was a 5 club better ball stableford is still a better ball stableford but now you can use up to 14 clubs.
