Cumbria
The Cumbria Union of Golf Clubs was formed in 1910 so it has provided golf administration to local clubs for over a century now. Currently, there are 31 such clubs affiliated to the Union and, to switch to some boxing parlance, it has to be said that the county team has punched way above its weight in recent years. Cumbria Ladies’ County Golf Association was formed in 1925 and there are currently 33 clubs affiliated to the association. Its stated aims are to further the interests of ladies’ golf, maintain the CONGU handicap system, comply with EWGA rules governing county golf administration and administer a county championship along with other associated competitions. In a Northern Counties League consisting of seven districts – including such heavyweights as Cheshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire – Cumbria has won the annual round robin matchplay competition between these teams twice (2002 and 2009) in recent times. Our Cumbria Best in County rankings were updated in August 2023.
