Everything seems nicer when the sun shines and a golf course is no exception, we do need the rain but most of us golfers are hoping it rains at night and shines during the day…. I dont think thats too unreasonable? Loughgall is playing great at the moment and the entry numbers to the competitions [...]
Its wonderful golfing weather and the course is looking great! The main competition of the week was a stableford event sponsored by Murder Mystery N.I held on Saturday. Strange goings on was afoot…. although it may have been a surprize to some it was no real mystery to see Stephen Mills at the top of [...]
I dont want to speak too soon but this weather reminds me of summer…warmth and sunshine, is that summer weather in Nortern Ireland? Ok so that means we have about two weeks to get a tan, buy a paddling pool and maybe visit Portrush, Newcastle or somewhere else where you can see the sea and [...]
The Presidents Cup is one of the top competitions in LGC golfing year, its high on every competitive golfers wish list to win. There can only be one winner and that was Willie Turner, Willie had an excellent 41 points which just beat Harvey Park into 2nd place on a countback. Very unlucky Harvey but [...]

Seamus Golding proved too good for the rest of the field to take 1st place in the Lombard Trophy Qualifier (strokeplay), but only just! Steve Wall had the same nett score of 67 but the countback placed Seamus ahead of Steve, great scores by both players! Adrian Faulkner came 3rd with a nett 68! No [...]
Saturdays Stableford Open was quite a popular event, even though a number of the regulars were away to other courses it was still a decent turnout. Loughgall is still a relative newcomer to open competitions but there should be a few each year from now on, it gives golfers a chance to appreciate our course [...]

A very late dropout caused a problem which left us unable to [...]
