2022 Club Championship

Wonderful weather dawned on us for the Club Championship; Ian Jennings and the greenkeeping team presented the course in flawless condition with beautifully defined fairways, tricky pin placements and true, fast greens!

Just under 60 members competed on the day, and the winner of the Club Championship trophy was Kevin Metcalfe for a second year in a row, with a very solid score of 73 + 73 = 146. The runner up was LSGC Captain David Paul.
The Silver Jubilee Trophy, for the best aggregate score on handicap over the two rounds, went to David Groom who beat Nigel Cattle countback, with a nett score of 140.
The Gordon Coombs Trophy is awarded to the player, with a handicap of 10 and over, with the best scratch score over the two rounds. This was won by long standing member John Prigg with a 166 combined total. The 18 hole stableford event was won by Richard Flood with a total of 40 stableford points.


Adam and his team put on some fantastic food for all the competitors and a big thank you must also go to John for expertly acting as a starter and Joe for producing the scoreboard and helping with entering the scores on the day. Adam and his team also produced an excellent summer buffet.

NBC Golf Channel Feature

LSGC were proud to feature during NBC’s British Open coverage on the Golf Channel. They created a short film about the history of golf on Wimbledon Common and were extremely interested in the tradition of wearing pillar box red shirts when playing golf!

Thank you to the members who took part in the film, providing the viewers with interesting anecdotes and information about the third oldest golf club in England! We have received a great response from golf fans in the US and can’t wait to welcome them at the club on their future travels across the pond.
