Hello LBS golfers,
First off, we would like to welcome all new members who have joined one of the LBS programs this year. We are very excited to meet you all. Whether you are a scratch golfer or simply looking to get introduced to the game, we hope to get all of you involved in the Club and the events. Please find an outline below of what you can expect from the LBS Golf Club in the coming year.
Beginners’ course
This fall we will organise a beginners’ weekend course. This will be the perfect opportunity to get started with playing golf together with fellow LBS students at a convenient location nearby. We are currently in the process of organising this, and as soon as we have a confirmed date, we will send out the invitations.
LBS student membership at Stanmore Golf Club
We are very happy to announce that we have again been able to secure our fantastic deal with Stanmore Golf Club. Current LBS students are eligible for a full-year membership for only £300 (savings of more than 75%). Members can also rent a locker for their golf set. Stanmore is a 15-20 minute walk from Canons Park station on the Jubilee line (or you can take a cab from either station – Canons Park or Stanmore – if you prefer). We encourage every golfer who is planning to play a fair amount to take advantage of this deal. Most of our Club tournaments will be hosted at Stanmore Golf Club. If you are interested, please let Willem know, and he’ll get you sorted.
Competition and kick-off tournament
This year we will start a competition that will run from October to June 2017. This will encompass 5 competition days, of which at least 3 need to be played in order to qualify for a final ranking. Our kick off event and first tournament of the year will be on Saturday, October 8th from 1pm to 6pm at Stanmore Golf Club. We will send out an invitation soon, be sure to save the date in your calendars.
Golf trek
To follow our golf trek to Carnoustie last year, we are again planning a golf trek to Scotland in Spring 2017. We are considering multiple options, but are hoping to secure spots for St. Andrews. More info on this will obviously follow once we have been able to secure some spots. However, if you are already sure you would like to join the trek, we would love to hear from you, so we’ll have a better idea about the number of tee times we need to book.
LBS Golf Club flagship event
Also new this year, we are planning to organise our own flagship event in the spring. The day will be centred around golf and business, bringing students, faculty, alumni and business partners together at a fantastic location to grow relationships. More information on this to follow in the fall. However, we are currently looking for a sponsor who would potentially be interested in sponsoring this event. If you happen to have a potential lead, please get in touch with us.
Get involved
Last but not least, to make the coming year a big success, we need your help! We are now recruiting for several club positions:
- Club Treasurer
- VP of Events
- VP of Treks
These positions are open to any students or partners at LBS – if you'd like to get involved, please email us by Saturday, September 10th, to tell us which position you would like to take and why. We look forward to your applications!
Any other questions or ideas? Please let us know.
Looking forward to a great year,
Willem & WP
Co-Presidents of the LBS Golf Club
