Any member aged 55 or over can join the very active Seniors Section of the Club to enjoy social but competitive golf. To become a ‘Registered Senior’ and have the benefit of playing in intra and inter-club matches and to have other benefits, a new Senior only needs to pay a modest competition entry fee to play in their first competition. All they need to do is add their name to a competition invitation sheet pinned on the Seniors noticeboard, watch out for the starting time notice, and pay on the day.
The Section is managed by a Management Committee consisting of:
- Captain and Chairman - Jim Wiggam
- Vice-Captain - TBA
- Immediate Past Captain's - Nigel Martin and Malcolm Pitcher
- Honorary Secretary - Bob Baggalley
- Treasurer - David Needham
- Competition Sub Committee Members - John Willson, Ray Fage, Conor Kinnerk, and Paul Tubbs.
- A summer program of six monthly 'Medal' competitions, two played off yellow tees and four off white tees.
- A winter program of six monthly 'Stableford' competitions played off yellow tees.
- A 'Top Dogs' stableford pairs competition played over eight weeks in the winter.
- A 'Greensomes' and a 'Four Club Competition', plus a number of other trophy competitions including singles and pairs match play knockout competitions played on days of the week chosen by competing players.
- A 'Seniors Captain’s Day' competition, which is very popular.
- An 'Annual Seniors Guest Day' played on a Thursday in September.
- Two 'Texas Scrambles' competitions.
- A 'Turkey Shoot' competition with meat vouchers as prizes.
In addition a programme of intra and inter club matches is organised which all registered Seniors are encouraged to participate in. These can also be seen in the club diary. They include:
- Three intra club matches and competitions versus the ladies plus an annual match versus the juniors
- Twenty-four inter club matches versus twelve local clubs. Home matches are generally played on a Monday whilst the days of away matches vary.
