To celebrate the winners of the Winter Competitions the Seniors organised a Texas Scramble as a conclusion to this very wet Winter, to be followed by a meal and presentation in the clubhouse. True to form, a night of heavy rain was followed by a dull, ‘drizzerable’ morning, which most thought would clear to allow […]
What a wonderful day to celebrate the John Cook memorial competition. The sun was out, hindered only by a few, white clouds. ‘Storm Jorge’ had abated leaving only a fresh, westerly breeze. Apart from the large pools dotted around the course the fairways and greens were in excellent condition, good enough to allow all thirty-five […]
It may have been raining and the hail may have covered the road on the way into town but thirty-three, out of the thirty-five seniors who put their name down to play, turned up for one final effort to improve their winter eclectic score. They were rewarded with the passing of the dark clouds to […]
All thirty-three seniors who turned up on Tuesday had set off to brave the winds in an effort to improve their eclectic score. The dark clouds to the south-west gave them a clue as to what was about to happen. The wind picked up and the rain, laden with hail, engulfed them. Umbrellas were opened […]

Almost all seniors who left home early on Tuesday were anticipating a great day of golf. The roads were clear, and there appeared to be no frost –car windshields did not need scraping. What a surprise then, to arrive at the Golf Club and to see the whole area covered in white, frozen grass and […]
They’re back! The seniors group held its first eclectic match on Tuesday and, as can be expected from this ageing population, anything goes! Having re-charged his battery over the Christmas period Barry Neale arrived at the club ready to start the second half of the Winter season. He was about to head for the first […]
Mid December and thirty-six seniors gathered on a frosty, misty morning to face a half term examination. This was the last gathering before the Christmas break and they set off to play in a fifteen-hole Hidden Partners Competition.
