SENIORS GOLF
Our Seniors section is open to all members over 60 years old regardless of ability. Our aim is to offer a complete programme of golf throughout the year with many competitions, friendly matches with other clubs and a very competitive and successful League team.
There are a number of informal playing groups meeting at various times throughout the week, each very welcoming to new members. For those wishing to round out the club experience there are many social events that occur throughout the year.
While these informal groups operate under their own playing policies; the Seniors’ section provide the organisation of the formal competitions of which there are around 60 events per year. So, it’s never a problem to find a group or a playing level at which to feel comfortable. And without a doubt, you will be made to feel comfortable at this extremely friendly club.
SENIORS CAPTAIN
TONY SMITH
” A very big and warm welcome to the Club’s Seniors Section. With nearly 300 Seniors at the Club it is indeed an honour to represent them. For the last six years I have been the Club’s Super Seniors Captain responsible for the over 70’s league matches and County Championship. As well as league matches I play in the friendly matches against other Clubs and the occasional mixed match. I try to play two or three times a week with different playing groups. I chair an excellent Seniors Committee which is made up of a number of ex Captains so help and advice is plentiful. I could not run the section without them so a personal thanks goes to them. My charity this year is Prostate Cancer UK. With, on average, 52,000 men diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK every year money is urgently required for research to reduce these numbers. I hope you will give this your full support. I am more than happy to meet up with any Senior member, new or existing, for an informal chat about the section. Enjoy your golf”
