A tight match ensued with Kenny overcoming the Ranfurly side at the 19th hole Kenny now plays in the final at Leven Links on October 23rd, by which time Barry will be suitably refreshed and able to team up - if Kenny needs him!! Best wishes go to both players for the national final, with the winners heading for sunny Portugal for the Grand Finals. 2009-10-04T09:13:53+00:00 http://www.lochmabengolf.co.uk/index.php/site/news/baggy_drops_out/ http://www.lochmabengolf.co.uk/index.php/site/news/baggy_drops_out/#When:21:20:08Z One less competitor for the recently played prestigious Lennox Trophy was last years club Champion Ainsley Bagnall, suffering cracked ribs two days before the event after falling from a plum tree.

Following the very successful works that were carried out last winter, the programme has been scheduled earlier this year to allow time for grass seed to germinate and establish before winter weather stalls growth. An encouraging number of volunteers have been recruited to help with the works, and thanks go to everyone involved in the project for their time and efforts. Members should be made aware that these works have priority on the course and your patience is greatly appreciated. We can now look forward to all greens being slick and smooth next season. Any members who wish to help out with this project please contact Billy Campbell (Greens Convener) 2009-09-28T13:41:37+00:00 http://www.lochmabengolf.co.uk/index.php/site/news/yet_another_news_item_title/ http://www.lochmabengolf.co.uk/index.php/site/news/yet_another_news_item_title/#When:13:41:05Z A busy Open day was held on sunday the 27th September.
