Lancashire Ladies'
County Golf Association

Welcome to the Lancashire Ladies' County Golf Association website. We are here to provide training and competitions for golfers at all levels of the game, from young girls who have yet to hit a ball, to elite golfers representing their County and their Country. So whether you have no handicap, play off 54, or are a scratch golfer, we look forward to meeting you at our events.

As you may know we held our Special General Meeting on 5th March to approve the merging of the activities of  LLCGA with the LUGC. I am very pleased to report that the proposals were approved unanimously by all those voting at both the LLCGA and the LUGC meetings.  This means that the LUGC has now changed its name to Lancashire Golf Limited and the new articles and rules have been duly adopted.  The new board is now in place and is as follows:

President - Delia Naylor

Vice President - John Pendleton

LLCGA Limited will now become dormant and will, in due course, be struck off.  

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the board for their help and support for the short period that I was Captain of LLCGA.  I would especially like to thank Anne Baines, our outgoing President, for the many conversations we have had over this short period and for her help and sound advice.  I want you all to know that your continued help and support is vital to the future success of Lancashire Golf. Our members and volunteers are our biggest asset and we could not operate without you.  I hope you will all continue to give as freely and generously of your time and experience as you have done in the past.

We have a huge amount of experience and enthusiasm amongst the board and volunteers and I am very excited to see what the year will bring.  I am very much looking forward to catching up with you all at the various events around the County as the year progresses. 

Thank you all once again,

Best wishes

Delia Naylor

Message from the County Captain

10th February 2024

The New Year, somewhat disappointingly, arrived with plenty of rain and a great deal of wind. We have already had 3 named storms and we are only 5 weeks in! Sadly nearly all of our courses have had periods of closure as a result but surely things can only improve and we can, hopefully, look forward to getting back to some golf in the very near future.

I am pleased to report that we have had a great response to our 125 Anniversary competition, with 61 clubs entering a team. The draw has been done and circulated to team captains and play will get underway in the near future. I am very much looking forward to welcoming the finalists to Royal Birkdale later in the year and presenting the trophy to them at our 125 anniversary lunch in January 2025. Entries for our other competitions will be available from 7 March.

As discussed at our Business Meeting and AGM we have now arranged a date for the next shields meeting. This will be held on 20 March at Preston golf club and you can confirm your wish to attend via the form on the website. This event proved to be an excellent discussion forum last year so please try to send a representative if you can.

The planned date for the merger with the LUGC of 5 March is now getting very close. Your Board of directors are unanimously agreed that this is the way forward for the County and England Golf are fully supportive. It is not expected that there will be any changes to your competitive golf or coaching opportunities this year but the benefits behind the scenes will include:

• A simpler structure for clubs and members to deal with
• Enhanced efficiencies and economies of scale
• Better ability to promote family orientated golf, thus improving diversity
• Pooling of resources and experience amongst board members and volunteers
• Improved communications and standardised image for Lancashire Golf
• Underscoring of the County’s commitment to equality, and diversity

Notices for the various meetings required to implement the merger were sent to clubs on 6 February. Clubs have been asked to either complete their voting via a form or to nominate a named individual to attend and vote on behalf of the club. It would be very much appreciated if as many clubs as possible could ensure that the forms are completed and returned to us in good time.

I am looking forward to the start of the golfing season and attending as many events as possible. I wish you all every success for the year ahead.

Message from the County Captain

1st December 2023

Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for their cards and good wishes, I am very touched by all the support and feel very positive about the year to come.

I know we have a fantastic board of directors who work very hard to deliver golf to all our members and I very much look forward to continuing to work with them in 2023/24. I would also like to welcome Clare Seddon, as our Vice Captain, and Anne Baines, to her new role as County President.

As you will know, the unification with Lancashire Union of Golf Clubs is progressing at a pace, and this will inevitably bring many changes and challenges. We are confident that the majority of our members will see little difference. The County will continue to provide you with the same competitions, including the interclubs and the shields, and will continue to provide training for the juniors and elite teams. Further details will be provided to all our members in the near future.

It is expected that entry for the new team knock out competition will start in January 2024, and I very much hope that as many clubs as possible will be able to enter a team. The trophy for the event will be presented at our 125 Celebratory Lunch in January 2025, and the final of the event will be held at Royal Birkdale towards the end of 2024.

It just remains now for me to wish all our members good health and good golf and I very much look forward to meeting as many of you as possible at next year’s events.
