Hello and welcome fellow golfers of South Moor Golf Club Senior Section.
Let me introduce myself, my name is Scott Mitchell your Seniors Captain for 2026, and my Vice Captain shall be Ronnie Fraser.
I have been an active member of South Moor Golf Club for 20 years. During this time, I have assisted in a range of roles from Junior Liaison Officer for 5 years, Club Captain for two terms 2020 and 2021, and more recently with Building Maintenance assisting the Club Committee where possible.
Although I am relatively new to the Senior Section, all of 3 years (the baby of the Section) I look forward to this new challenge and to the Team Matches, Away Days, and Club Senior Competitions.
At South Moor we have an active senior section. Handicaps range from low single figures to those who play with a thirty plus handicap so please come along and join us whatever your ability.
Our senior section is open to those club members over the age of 55 years. We meet regularly and have a good variety of formal and informal competitions throughout the year. We also have a few away days to play different clubs in the Northeast.
The senior section team partakes in competitions with local clubs, enjoying different courses and hospitality in the region. I look forward to the continuous support of the section and would like to see new faces come forward to play this year.
Come along and meet our section, we look forward to welcoming new members to the club.
From an external perspective we organize three highly successful Senior Open Competitions throughout the season.
There is a £10.00 annual voluntary social contribution which provides an ‘All Day Breakfast’ at two of our summer competitions and a possible subsidy towards our annual Christmas Lunch.
