Seniors Noticeboard

A glimpse of the sun is all that is necessary to induce the Seniors back into action.  On the last two occasions ,when the sun deigned to part with some of its warmth, over thirty desperate souls appeared at the T & T's to re-acquaint themselves with the noble and ancient game.  This is just as well. as the round of Inter Club matches begins in earnest on Friday 19th March.

The "Availability List" for future fixtures is on the Notice Board and I encourage you all to take advantage of these enjoyable matches.  We try to see all who want to play are given the opportunity.

The Winter Fourball League, organised by John Lattey has reached the final stage.  The contest has distilled into an intriguing final between John Duncombe & Syd Madeley versus Malcolm Traves & Derek Birt.  Both pairs emerged from the same qualifying section and, in the earlier match Traves & Birt were the victors, 3 up.  Will they be able to repeat the feat?

Entry sheets have been posted for the  HODSON SHIELD (Holder Dave Mosley is on holiday gathering strength in preparation for a sterling defence of his title!) and the TEXAS SCRAMBLE on 11th May.  I am sure that there will be a big entry for this.

The OPEN PAIRS INVITATION  on Tuesday 17th August is proving very popular , as confidently predicted by organiser,  DENNIS PICK.  He advises that well over 80% of the available places have been taken, so, if you wish to play, you need to act swiftly.

We shall again be entering a team in the  SENIORS NATIONAL CLUB CLASSIC, under the inspiring leadership of  GRAHAM HOSKIN.  I am hopeful that there will be sufficient support to enter a second team and, should this come to fruition,  BRIAN WARREN  has agreed to take on the responsibility of team Captain.  This alone should ensure that we will have a very happy second side.

BRITISH SUMMER TIME  starts on Sunday 28th march and all subsequent T & T roll ups, will commence at 12.30 p.m.

Finally, let us do our best to  ENJOY  our golf during the season.  It should be easy, after all we play on probably the best course in the area with some of the nicest people!.
