We've included some of the photographs taken at the presentation as they include Daniel Whittingham, our Guest of Honour for the evening. The Invitation kicked off a weekend of raising awareness and funds for Help for Heroes. Daniel was serving in Afghanistan in January 2009 when he was involved in an explosion whilst on patrol. He spent the next three months in Selly Oak Hospital, Birmingham and underwent several operations to rectify the numerous injuries suffered and then spent the following six months in rehabilitation at Hedley Court. Some eighteen months on, Daniel is still not back to full fitness though he acknowledges that he was more fortunate than some of his colleagues in the Army.

A total of £315.69 was raised for Help for Heroes. Thank you to all those that gave so generously.

 Don’t throw your printer cartridges away-

Raise money for the EWGA Trust! 

The EWGA Trust supports girls’ golf by providing financial support for girls who would otherwise struggle to fund their golf, and also helps county associations with group coaching for beginners. The Trust has undergone a review recently to make sure that the girls that need our support are the ones that receive it, and that the support they receive really helps them. Times are tough and the Trust really needs your help, and this is a simple way that women golfers can contribute to the cause.

 Instead of your used printer cartridges going to waste, they can now be turned into cash to support girls in golf. All you have to do is:

• Put your cartridges in the post to:

Cash for Cartridges, Freepost RLZL-EUJG-ZYEL, 13 Main Street, Keyworth, Nottingham. NG12 5AA

• Make sure that the EWGA Trust reference number R7674 is clearly marked on the outside of the package.
• Check which cartridges are accepted by looking at www.cashforcartridges.co.uk. Epson, Brother, Canon, or certain Dell cartridges are NOT acceptable and EWGA will incur a small charge if unacceptable cartridges are sent in.
• Make sure that your package does not weigh over 2kg.

It’s that simple! The EWGA Trust will receive cash for every acceptable cartridge received.

On a bright cool day at Lingdale GC Worcestershire won the EGU County Championship - Midland Qualifying by 6 shots from Warwickshire. Worcestershire will now go forward to represent the Midlands in the final at Hunstanton in September. Dave Walley (Wolstanton) won the Norman Russell Salver for the best score of the day with 71:67:138. Dave along with Chris Nugent (Fulford Heath) who also had a 67 in the afternoon round now share the course record at Lingdale.

Just to mention one other performance, as all golfers of all ages and abilities strive for consistency, Ashley Chesters of Shropshire and Herefordshire should not go without a mention. Ashley shot par 71's in both the morning and afternoon rounds. The 36 holes consisted of one birdie, one bogey and 34 pars. A tremendous performance.

Note from the President of Lingdale Golf Club

Dear Member

Thank you for making the Midland Qualifying Competition for the English County Championship a great success. Firstly, by giving the use of the course and in addition for those who gave their time to act as Marshalls and Spotters. It was all much appreciated.

Golf Mission was launched in November 2009 and is a great game that will also help improve your overall course management and those scores.   It is a great alternative to spice up your usual social game of golf.  It can be played by individuals right the way through to small societies.  What the winner gets for completing their missios is entirely down to you.

How the Game Works

You choose a card with a series of missions that you must complete on the golf course.  For example, no more than 6 putts on certain holes;  hit the first fairway or par the 18th; par  (or net par) 4 holes in a row.  The lower the handicap the more missions you need to complete.

There are two pack sizes to choose from - a pack of 4 cards or a pack of 10  which comes in a sturdy zipped wallet.  The link below will take you to the Golf Mission website where you can order your Golf Mission Cards.  GolfMission would also make an ideal gift.

PRESS RELEASE

MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP FOR LINGDALE GOLF CLUB


Lingdale Golf Club has been chosen to host the English Golf Union Midlands Amateur Team Championship for the first time on 19th June  2010.

The Championship is only held in Leicestershire once in every 10 years and next year’s event  has been planned to coincide with Leicestershire and Rutland Golf Union’s Centenary Year.  

Mike Wicks, Captain in 2010 said “ We feel very honoured and excited that Lingdale has been chosen to host this prestigious event  from the many other great golf courses in Leicestershire and Rutland.  

“It is made all the more prestigious the fact we will be celebrating Leicestershire and Rutland’s 100th birthday”.   We look forward to welcoming  everyone  next year”.

Tony Harper, President,  Leicestershire and Rutland Golf Union said: The Team Championship is a major event and I am delighted that Lingdale  has been chosen to host it particularly in our centenary year.”

“During a visit to the course in 1989 Tony Jacklin  said that Lingdale probably has the toughest opening three holes in the Midlands, so I am sure that the teams will  find it a good test of golf in the most magnificent of settings.

Ten teams of six players from across the Midlands will play thirty six holes with all six scores to count . The winning team will then go on to represent the Midlands region in the national team championship finals.
