16- 17 May County Championships kirkby Lonsdale GC
Our 2026 County Championship events commenced this morning at a sunny but cool Kirkby Lonsdale Golf Club, which was in tremendous condition for all those who played today. There was real anticipation and enthusiasm for the first round of our 36 hole qualifying event this morning, with some tremendous scoring from our players. Sadly, the weather turned a little cooler and damper for the afternoon tee times, but the enthusiasm from those playing was still there. It was encouraging to see many spectators following the players during both rounds. We look forward to day two tomorrow which will commence with the first round of the matchplay stages of the Championship, the Team of three competition and later in the day the second round of the matchplay.

We held our first Competition of the 2026 season today, the 4BBB mixed stableford competition. There were 24 mixed pairs who took part. There was only one ‘two’ with the winner of the prize money being Neil Tippins from Furness Golf Club.
The winners of the trophy were: Dave & Lynne Tracey (Ulverston) - 42 points

21 March Appleby GC
The annual pre-season match against the County Senior Men’s team took place today at warm and sunny Appleby Golf Club, with their course in good condition. The team who played today was Abby Roper & Brenda Ewbank, Becca Wildey & Carys McDonough, Hannah Rayson & Niamh Carruthers, Rosie Waller & Zoe Wilson, and Kathleen Bulman and Flossie Martindale. Five matches of 4BBB were played over the full 18 holes, despite the ladies winning three of the five matches, the scoring system resulted in the Senior Men’s team winning by six holes up to five holes up. A very enjoyable pre-season match resulted in a very high standard of play in all matches and everybody should be proud of their performance today.
8 March Penrith Golf Hub
In beautifully warm and sunny weather we held our 3rd training session at Penrith Golf Hub. Andrew and Jamie instructed the assembled golfers on how to assess pitching distances and select the right club and shot - all to help with the short game. Time was spent with Andrew on the range and Jamie gave advice on the course.
15 February Penrith Golf Hub
On a cold February morning we held our second CLCGA coaching session at Penrith Golf Hub. Emily Smith, Sharron Simpson, Zoe Wilson, Paula Barron and Niamh Carruthers were given golf tips by Andrew and fitness and strength exercises by Russell. A great way to focus minds and bodies for the season ahead!
31 January Penrith Golf Hub
We had our first County Team coaching and training session of the 2026 golfing season today.
Captain Jill Thompson and President Carole Story watched PGH Professionals Andrew Pickering and Lee Edwards teach Emily Smith, Rebecca Davidson, Carys McDonough, Sharron Simpson and Niamh Carruthers on techniques and alignment.
Due to an unforeseen power failure at the PGH both Andrew and Lee went back to old school coaching and training methods which the girls really enjoyed and they left with something positive to work on their game.
