A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Firstly, I would like to pass on my appreciation to the members of the LDUGC Executive for agreeing to defer my appointment as President until this year and allowing me to continue as President Elect 2024. I would also like to personally thank Peter Bentley who very kindly stepped in as President 2024 owing to my incapacity. Thank you Peter you did an outstanding job under the circumstances.

It is of course a great honour and a privilege both for myself, and my club Howley Hall, to be given the opportunity to represent this great golf union.

I intend to play in as many events as possible and enjoy not only some great courses but also the company of other golfers who support all the efforts of the wonderful team who organise these events. I am looking forward to attending as many LDUGC Scratch and Junior Team events as I can, to support not only our outstanding teams but also the officials who put so much time and effort into the selection and management of the teams.

Finally, I appreciate all the players who have adopted “Ready Golf play” and would ask those who have not, to consider doing so, as this helps to speed up play and which adds to the enjoyment of the game for you and others.

Wishing all a successful and enjoyable season and hopefully the sun will keep shining.

Bill Watt - President 2025.
