Introduction

In 2022 delegates from both the NCVLGA and the NCLGA met to investigate the possibility of a merger between the two associations and initiate changes. Both parties agreed with the merger.
Subsequently, it was agreed that the merger should go ahead and the 2022 NCLGA AGM agreed to the election of a Senior Organiser to the NCLGA Executive Committee.
As 2023 will be a year of transition, whilst the NCVLGA competitions and matches are amalgamated into the NCLGA fixture structure, it was agreed that the current NCVLGA officers (Barbara Rampley, Anne Woolley and Lin Tongue) should represent them at the NCLGA executive meetings until the 2023 AGM, when one person will be elected to the NCLGA Executive as Senior Organiser.

Competitions

Since the venue for the Vets Spring Meeting had already been booked, it will continue as planned for 2023 and be included with the NCLGA competitions, to be entered via the website.
The NCLGA already have a Veteran’s Trophy alongside their Summer Meeting, which is the qualifier for the England Golf Senior Champion of Champions competition, but it was agreed to add a Veteran’s Cup to the NCLGA Autumn Meeting, to replace the Vets Autumn Meeting.
We encourage all NCVLGA members to consider entering any NCLGA competitions they can – we aim to be as inclusive as possible.

Matches

Matches for Seniors have been arranged with Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire and our preference is for 4 Ball Better Ball Matchplay alternating annually home, or away with a team of 10 players. The matches against Lincolnshire and Leicestershire will have five matches, 2 played off scratch and the other 3 off handicap. All of the matches against Derbyshire will be played off handicap. Ideally Handicap Index limits for the scratch matches will be 14.0 and 36.0 for the handicap matches.

If you are interested in playing in these matches could you please download one of the avilability forms, complete it and return to Anne Woolley by 30th April. Teams will then be selected after this date.
