Senior's report

Senior's July Stableford

The first Senior Competition since reopening was held on Thursday, 16 July and took the form of a Stableford.

The intricacies of the IG app was beyond some Seniors with a number not having a smartphone, others not knowing to use it, an unsteady hand when taking the photograph and the inability of the club to turn off the wind when trying to take the photo with the card being blown up the 18th. Despite these difficulties, a total of 74 Seniors managed to complete the course and the obstacles after the round.

Clive Moggeridge produced the best score of the day posting 41 points and winning Division one by two points from Hilton Scott and the evergreen John Duffin. Division two was a closer affair with three players scoring 37 points with Keith Pashley winning on countback from Gerry Shaw and Graham Fullagar.

Full results were:

Division 1: 1st Clive Moggeridge 41pts, 2nd Hilton Scott 39pts, (CB) 3rd John Duffin 39pts.

Division 2: 1st Keith Pashley 37pts (CB), 2nd Gerry Shaw 37pts (CB), 3rd Graham Fullagar 37pts.

Wear our crest with pride

One of the best things about being a member of a golf club is becoming part of a community. It means different things to each person, but what better way to show your support than with a piece of beautiful club-crested clothing from the pro shop?

Thanks to our friends at Glenmuir, you can pick up an item of stylish clothing with our club crest beautifully added. Whether you’re playing home or away, our crest serves as the perfect addition to your golf outfit.

Glenmuir has been creating golf clothing since 1891 and specialise in the art of cresting; so much so that the European Ryder Cup team used them for every event between 1987 and 2014. You can't get a bigger advocate than that!

Spikeless comfort on the course

You simply cannot beat a hot summer day on the golf course. Of course, if you want to soak up the sun whilst strolling the fairways, you’ll need to feel comfortable underfoot.

Comfort is arguably the most important factor to consider when buying new golf shoes - we are walking for over four miles after all!

The FootJoy Contour Casual and FJ Flex spikeless golf shoes are two of the best shoes that tick this box.
