Captains’ Welcomes Men’s Captain – John Kendall I am extremely honoured to have been asked to be Men’s Captain of this great club. When I joined some 12 years ago I wouldn’t have thought this possible. Wimbledon Common is unlike so many other golf clubs in that we are extremely open and welcoming to golfers of all levels. You can learn your golf here, or you can hone your single figure handicap and help the teams win various club competitions. We welcome everyone, social golfers, competitive golfers, young or old, so if you wanted to try golf but were always put off by the stuffiness of it all, come to Wimbledon Common Golf Club — you’ll be welcomed with open arms. Playing golf on the Common brings a lot of unique things into play. It’s a tight course, so don’t be fooled by the length, and the greens are amongst the best in Surrey. We have a highly qualified PGA Professional so if you want to have lessons this is the club for you! Liz (this year’s Lady Captain) and I have jointly chosen Young Minds as our charity for the year. They are committed to improving children’s wellbeing by offering advice & support for parents and young people affected by mental health issues. Enjoy your golf, and I hope to see you on the course or in the clubhouse soon!
