Seasonal Magpies

Your marketing team have decided to publish the Newsletter four times per year. Firstly to prevent you being inundated by emails unnecessarily and - secondly - to give all our contributors a little more time to send us news and views. Feedback from all members is that they value the Magpie news. So please ensure that we have your email addresses; remind new members to pass their addresses on; and most of all LET US HAVE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS AND PHOTO'S.

Copy deadlines for the season will be :-

20th of each production month February, May, August and November

MacMillan Bring and Buy Sale

It was just after I got the hole in one on the 12th that a thought occurred to me. Why don’t Alison and I take on the organisation of the MacMillan Bring and Buy Sale...............then I woke up!!

However, the idea festered in my brain and eventually I rang Alison who immediately agreed to help,  click here to see how things progressed

B Team News

Well, that's the last game for the 2009 season finished! We ended on a high note with a home win against Forest Hill (4½ – 1½ ), the highlight of which was a win for Aubrey.

My thanks to everyone who played and supported B Team this year (all 45 of you!).

Results were good with 11 wins, 10 losses and 3 matches drawn.

Trophies were retained against Nuneaton and Ullesthorpe , lost against Hinckley but we did hold Cosby to a draw.

We had a great away-day at Collingtree Park supported by 22 players. Winner over the 9 holes was Rob Clarke with 'Nearest the Pin' won by Wayne Robinson. Winner over the 18 holes was Steve Moonan with 'Nearest the Pin' won by Andrew Pearson and 'Longest Drive' won by Kevin Knight. Pairs winners were Steve Moonan and Andrew Pearson.

Our End of Season Competition was great fun with 20 players joining in. The winner was Trevor Davies (40 points), 2nd Tony Rogers (36 points on countback) and 3rd Bob Ginn (also 36 points).

'Nearest the Pin' was claimed by Tony Rogers and 'Longest Drive' by Adam Green.

At the end of season meeting the 'Player of the Year' cup was awarded to Ian Champion and the 'How Many Cup' to Ian Champion and Steve Moonan.

After much discussion and friendly banter, it was decided that Ian Champion would continue as B Team Captain in 2010, and I was honoured to accept this role again.

I would like to say 'Congratulations!' to all our trophy winners, and many thanks for the support you have all given me this year.

I hope to see you all next year for a successful and enjoyable time.

Ian Champion

A few words from Bubbles

Thank you Bubbles for a great year, and goodluck to Lesley our incoming Ladies Captain.

New Lady Captain names charity

I am eagerly looking forward to my year as Lady Captain of Lutterworth Golf Club.  Even though I am not a particularly good golfer I do not see this as being of paramount importance to being a good Captain and I assure you all I will be supporting the matches and doing my best to make the views of the ladies heard at our Committee and Main Committee meetings, as I have tried to do as Vice Captain.


I'd like to welcome our new members and I urge everyone to make our ladies section a harmonious one.


My Charity of the year is "Rainbows" which is a hospice for Children and Young people with life threatening illnesses and I urge everyone to support us in helping to raise as much money as possible for this worthwhile cause.


Finally, I wish all of you a fantastic golfing 2010.

Lutterworth Golf Club Fashion Night

Lutterworth Golf Club Pro Shop hosted their first golf fashion show on Thursday Night.

The clubhouse was filled with over 50 ladies and a few lucky lads to watch what was a feast of top quality golfing gear and stunning models. Leanne had some top brands at cracking prices, so look out T K Maxx. Lutterworth ladies will get best-dressed next year.

Guests were welcomed with a glass of champagne and nibbles, then shopped till they dropped, while the models waited in the wings to strut their stuff.

The lights were dimmed at 7.30 PM the curtains raised spot lights on and the music rang out

Over 10 models showed of a fantastic range of clothes, Well done to all the Lutterworth staff and well done to Leanne and the Pro Shop for putting on such a great night.
