Welcome to the Gents Seniors Section
The Gents Seniors section is a mix of former EGGS (Elderly Gentlemen Golf Society) and non EGGs men, but it is open to all male members aged over 55 who want to play weekday golf and whether you are a beginner, high-handicapper or an experienced player, you’ll be made very welcome.
Throughout the year there are a variety of fun competitions as well as honours board ones and these are all a great way of you meeting new members, forming friendships and playing a degree of competitive but friendly golf and you might win a few quid in the process!
Monday mornings are focused on a friendly , self booking, roll up ‘fiddle’ stableford format, as well as other occasional fun formats.
Thursday mornings are focused on fun team competitions such as Texas scrambles, team matchplay, waltzes or individual prize competitions. To this end there is a draw done beforehand by the competitions secretary, to then formulate the partners/ team bookings, so that the spirit of the section remains focused on social golf with like minded seniors. So you just need to respond to the invitations/ notices that get put out well in advance.
In addition to this, from April to October the seniors play friendly competitive home and away games against other local golf clubs in a pairs matchplay format. Notices for these matches are displayed well in advance on the seniors notice board in the changing room. So just put your name on the list if you are interested in playing and the captain will select the team from that. This gives you the chance to play some lovely courses such as Drayton Manor, Lutterworth, Hinckley, Cosby, Atherstone, Burton on Trent, The Leicestershire and Birstall. You’ll just pay for the price of a post match meal which is normally £15- £20.
From Nov to March, the seniors pairs winter league games also keeps you occupied and competitive. There is also the captains away day in the summer and sometimes other golf away days to look forward to.
So hopefully you’re tempted to try the seniors section this year.
Keep an eye on the new ClubNet app notifications and the changing room notice board for regular information. Also if you want to speak to any of the seniors committee to find out more then please do so. We look forward to seeing you.
