News and upcoming events
Please see below for the current LDRGA position regarding the Coronavirus situation. This will be reviewed and updated as and when we feel it appropriate to do so.
It is the intention of the Association to attempt to play as many of our competitions as possible in some form at some point during the season.
John Sherwin, our President, is in full agreement with Gary Bream and myself that it is too early to cancel competitions that do not begin until May or later. The national situation and government guidelines are changing on a daily basis, and decisions that we make now for weeks and months into the future are unlikely to remain unchanged. Tonight's announcement does not change this position and if the new measures achieve their intended effect the outcome may enable some golf to be played later in the year. However it does mean that the April meeting at Howley Hall is now cancelled.
The LDRGA is not a multi-million pound sporting organisation, and we are not a government or large corporation responsible for the lives and welfare of large numbers of people. We are in an enviable position that we are able to sit back and wait to see how things pan out and not have to take immediate action.
As and when it becomes necessary to cancel events and competitions, the decision will be made, and notification sent, not less than two weeks prior. We see no reason to cancel anything any sooner than this, and it gives us the greatest opportunity to salvage what we can from what is going to be a very difficult year.
We have discussed some contingencies which may or may not be required and may or may not work. However at this stage there is very little else we can say.
Obviously we will not force any clubs or players to take part in anything that they feel jeopardises any individual's health or well-being however we do hope that you will support our efforts to provide some competitive golf if and when the opportunity arises.
If your club is opposed to trying to make the best of a bad situation and they would prefer not to be included in our 'best efforts' attempts at running some sort of season, please let me know by return and I will remove them from the Taylor Trophy draw, and restructure the league if appropriate.

We have discussed some contingencies which may or may not be required and may or may not work. However at this stage there is very little else we can say.
- The Taylor Trophy draw has been made. It will not be published until we have a better idea of when the first round may be possible to play
- Similarly, the Two Man League schedule will not be published until we have a clearer idea of when it can begin
- Our intention is that The Ken Dodgson Individual Matchplay will go ahead in some form, as long as it is possible to play before the end of the year. Entries can now be made until April 30th however payment need not be made until the competition actually begins
- The Sunday competitions will be reviewed and notifications sent as per the time frame above
- The area matches are not within our control and will be reviewed with the respective areas as necessary
Obviously we will not force any clubs or players to take part in anything that they feel jeopardises any individual's health or well-being however we do hope that you will support our efforts to provide some competitive golf if and when the opportunity arises.
