Welcome
Captain's Message 2025
Welcome to the Cumbria Ladies County Golf Association Website, in this our centenary year 2025.
As well as holding competitions across the County for our members to enter, and the inter county and friendly matches we enter with our County Squad and County Junior squad representing Cumbria, we are holding several special events to celebrate our Centenary.
Our Centenary Lunch will be held at the Castle Green Hotel Kendal on 27th March, with guests from other Counties and our guest speaker Sophie Walker; our Afternoon Tea will be held on 17th August at Roundthorn Country House Hotel for lady golfers from across the county, and two free competitions will be held at Penrith Golf Club on 6th October and Seascale Golf Club on 13th October, again for Lady members from across the County.
These events are being held for our members to celebrate 100 years of County Ladies Golf, meeting with fellow team members, former Captains and Presidents and other golfing friends made along their golfing journey.
In support of our usual calendar, there will be training sessions for the County Squad and Junior Squads, friendly matches, as well as the results from the various Competitions held through out the year. Please do join us in these Competitions, as they are open to all Lady Golfers in the County, with different Divisions catered for in each.
I look forward to seeing you at our events in 2025!

Presidents Message 2025
As I enter my second year as President I would like thank past Captain Ruth for all her support in my first year, and I look forward to working with Lady Captain Val and Vice Captain Jill along with the Executive Committee in 2025. I have enjoyed my time to date as President and the opportunity it has provided to support the County along with meeting new and old friends throughout the season.
As you are aware, 2025 will be a busy year for the County as we celebrate our Centenary year. We follow on from England Golf’s centenary year in 2024, have several events planned, and hope to see many of you taking part.
Yorkshire are the hosts for Northern County Match week and this event will be held in June at Hessle Golf Club, Hull. Anyone wishing to volunteer to support this event please get in touch with Jill our new Vice-Captain. All support is greatly appreciated and don’t forget to wear something bright orange if you can, it certainly helps to standout from the crowd!
The Junior Jamboree is another stand out event in our golfing calendar and this will be hosted by Northumberland at Gosforth Golf Club in August.
I look forward to seeing you all throughout the year as we support our County events and competitions. I wish you all a good golfing season and hope the weather is kind to us all.

County President 2025
