What’s a Heritage Raffle you may ask? 
The purpose of the proceeds of this Heritage Raffle is to establish a capability to digitize all of LGC’s historical holdings and to store them in a Mosaic archive which will allow on-line access for those interested viewers.  This capability will also house our present, and future collection of  material relating to H.V (Vern)  Morcom, our golf course designer.
 There are only 100 tickets @ $40/ticket (just $10/ player)  The prizes of the raffle, as you can see, are rounds of golf for 4 players at seven different golf clubs in Victoria and a round for two players in Tasmania.  Each of these very generous Clubs, have a connection with Vern Morcom and  support the purpose of the H.V.Morcom Tribute Plate event.  I encourage you to take the opportunity to play on any of these wonderful courses.
1st Prize, fittingly is a round for four (4) players donated by Kingston Heath Golf Club through General Manager, Gregg Chapple who inspired this raffle, when he presented to LGC the voucher  shortly after the inaugural H.V Morcom Tribute Match and encouraged us to continue with our mission. “The Heath” is regarded as one of the top Clubs in Australia who have hosted many prestigious international and national golfing events, and is the home Course where Vern Morcom was Head Greenkeeper then Course Superintendent for 37 years.

Hickory Golf Coming to Leongatha Golf Club

Following the first round of the G & P West, 9 hole event on Sunday 7th October, Leongatha Golf Club will be hosting members of the Golf Society of Australia (GSA) at 11.am for a history forum, light lunch and 9 holes of golf using their hickory shafted golf clubs.  The golf history buffs will be given a brief outline of LGC history and the making of our wonderful Vern Morcom course, by club historian Jon Smith.

This is a great opportunity for new (and old) members to learn more about their Club, as well as anyone in our community with an old set of hickory clubs in the garage, to pull them out, dust them off, put on your old tweeds and plaids and join in the experience.  We invite anyone interested in golf (and golf history) and looking to have some fun, to come along and join in the day.
