Hello LBS Golfers!
First off, a big welcome to our new members, no matter what program. And welcome, also, to our returning members and alumni members. We are very excited about a great year of golf at LBS to come!
The club's goals for the upcoming year are threefold:
- Get people playing golf at LBS
- Help people improve their game
- Build social connections between our club members - students and alumni
Here is a sampling of some of the activities we'll be up to this upcoming year:
Training events / days at the range
The first kind is skills events for golfers of all levels. Our home base is Northwick Park Golf facility (http://www.northwickpark.com/), which is about 3 stops north on the Metropolitan line from Baker Street. The range there is big, fully covered/protected from the elements, and we can usually get pretty good deals on training.
Casual weekend rounds
We have over 600 members, both current students and alumni, who follow our discussion boards. Often, either the club exec or any member of the club will post to the board looking for a round in an upcoming weekend. This is a great way to meet people from other programs and alumni as well! There are always LBS'ers looking for a round of golf on any given Sunday - so post away!
Tournaments
A few times this year, we will either host or take part in tournaments. Here are some examples:
- Fall: Annual Student/Alumni tournament
- Spring: MBAT 2011 tournament
- Summer: LBS Invitational (hosting other major business schools)
We are looking for members to join the executive for the upcoming year!
If you are just getting to LBS and willing to help the golf scene at the school, please consider joining the Golf Club executive. We are looking in particular for the following positions:
- VP Lessons
- VP Tournaments
- VP Social
If you're interested, please reach out to Grant Dougans for more information (gdougans.mba2011@london.edu)
Look for the first event to come next weekend!
Cheers,
Grant
