Having been a member of South Moor Golf Club for a good number of years now, I am now privileged and proud to have the honour of being Senior Section Club Captain for the upcoming year “2023”.
I am pleased to announce that my Vice Captain will be Tony Gray.
Thank you also to our Seniors Committee for their hard work and dedication throughout the year, and I look forward to working alongside them in “2023”.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone an enjoyable and successful season, and hope to have a good response for our team matches.
Our Section is open to any club member over the age of 55. We run a wide range of competitions and have a friendly league with 6 other local clubs on a home and away basis.
We also organize 3 very successful Senior Open Competitions throughout the season. We also have an away day and an overnight event each year.
Thank you and I look forward to playing together this season
