Northamptonshire Law Society
Golf with the Law Society Looking for golfing opportunities beyond my own club some years ago I came across The Law Society Golf Club – sometimes described as The Law Society’s best kept secret !
by John Slater, Captain, LSGC
Not sure whether this would be my cup of tea, I noted that their year began with a Winter lunch at Lords. What a good opportunity to test the water, I thought, and an opportunity to visit the hallowed venue of the Lords cricket ground. A couple of hours over lunch was a much less risky introduction than four hours plus with strangers on the golf course. If I did not fit in, then I would never be seen again but if I enjoyed it I could then venture to play in one of their many golfing events. Well, I was welcomed royally and, some ten years later, I am so glad I plucked up the courage to attend that first lunch. The LSGC had its first meeting in Chancery Lane in 1962 when the club was established with the vision of bringing together solicitors from across England and Wales in friendship and friendly golfing competition. Over the years it has grown to provide a full list of fixtures (including our own internal competitions and matches against other societies) at some of the most prestigious golf courses in the land and beyond. It is a treat to stand on the first tee at Royal Liverpool Golf Club and think that Rory was here in 2014 when he won the Open Championship or at other similarly wonderful golf clubs. In recent times we have played at Royal Lytham, Brancaster, Saunton, Ganton, Moortown, Hankley Common, Royal Cinque Ports, Rye, Trevose and Hillside to name but a few. We have also engaged in this friendly rivalry further afield in Europe and as far as Canada and Bermuda. The Paris Bar has entertained us at Chantilly, the Belgians in Liege, the Germans in the very scenic Bavarian mountains (see picture of our teams ready for action), the Irish at Enniscrone, the Bermudans at Mid Ocean GC and many other first class venues.
