Start of Season Get Together - Charnwood Forest Golf Club

The 2026 season for L&RLCGA got off to a fantastic start on Sunday 1st March with the annual Season Get Together — a much-anticipated event that brings together players from the 1st Team, 2nd Team, and our talented juniors for a fun and competitive Am-Am.

This event plays an important role in building connections across the squads, offering a relaxed and welcoming environment where players can get to know one another better. It is also a valuable opportunity to integrate our juniors into the wider county setup, helping them feel part of the team as they continue their development.

We were delighted to be hosted by Charnwood Forest Golf Club, who provided a warm and friendly welcome from the moment teams arrived. The Lady Captain and her team were on hand to greet players and supporters, setting a positive tone for the day. They also gathered at the first tee to watch the teams get underway, adding to the sense of occasion.

County President Peggy Remington officially started play on the first tee and then made her way out onto the course, offering encouragement and support to players throughout the round — a gesture that was greatly appreciated by all involved.

Conditions could not have been better. The weather was excellent for early March, and the course was presented in fantastic condition.

The competition proved to be closely contested, with many teams returning strong scores. In the end, victory went to the team of Ellie York, Helen Cox, Edie Speirs and Gangorti Shariah who triumphed on countback after an excellent round.

Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day and a perfect way to kick off the season. Our thanks go to Charnwood Forest Golf Club for their hospitality, and to everyone who took part and helped make the event such a success. We now look forward to an exciting season ahead.
