LGC set to light up Sundays with new National Top Flight Golf League

Golf at Lusignan is about to get faster, fiercer, and far more exciting as the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC) prepares to launch the National Top Flight Golf League, an eight-week medal tour aimed at energising competition and drawing golfers of all levels back to the fairways every Sunday morning, a missive from the Club indicated.
Designed to promote friendly rivalry while rewarding consistent performance, the league is open to both members and non-members and will be played every Sunday with an 08:00h tee-off, except when official tournaments are scheduled. All rounds will be played using the full-handicap medal format, ensuring fair competition across the field.

What makes the league especially thrilling is its points-based structure, where players can score big every week, not just at the end of the tour. Points will be awarded as follows:
Eight points for the overall winner
Five points for second place
Three points for third place
Two points for fourth place
One point for fifth place
Two points for best front nine
Two points for best back nine
With a maximum of 12 points available per round, the standings can change quickly, keeping pressure and excitement high right through to the final week. At the conclusion of the eight-week tour, cash pay-outs will be awarded to the top five overall finishers, while players outside the top five will still earn cash per point accumulated, meaning steady participation and consistent play will be rewarded. Adding to the prestige, the overall champion will receive a perpetual trophy, with each winner’s name permanently engraved as part of the league’s growing legacy.
To maintain fairness while offering flexibility, players will be allowed two validated make-up rounds per tour under strict conditions. All scores will also contribute to players’ official club handicaps, supporting long-term improvement and competitive readiness.
Speaking on the launch of the league, Lusignan Golf Club Secretary Chet Bowling said, “It’s a great initiative. It is a great opportunity for non-members to get involved in more competitive golf. For example, expats visiting the club for a short term and who don’t want to become members – the tournament presents a good opportunity for them to socialise, play competitive golf and improve their handicap. This tournament doesn’t only apply to the male players, but Lusignan Golf Club is actively pursuing more women to get involved as well.”
With competition, prizes, pride, and camaraderie all on the line, the National Top Flight Golf League promises to be one of the most exciting additions to Lusignan’s golfing calendar in recent years.
