On Mondays we have our seniors competitions which are many and varied with a plethora of trophies to be won which are presented at our fantastic Christmas lunch for many the highlight of the golfing year and a most enjoyable occasion.

As a section we have over thirty representative matches against clubs in our region and also further afield and golfers of all abilities are welcome to play in there’s matches which are followed by a meal and some good natured banter with our opponents. It is also my intention to have an away day at a time and venue to be decided.

This year I have chosen Weston Hospice as my preferred charity having seen first hand the excellent care they provide to those at the end of their life or suffering with life limiting conditions.

I am extremely honoured to have been chosen to be Captain of this fine section and I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible, enjoying (if that’s the right word) a game of golf with you and then possibly enjoying a glass of something cold in the clubhouse post game.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns and I wish you all a great year both on and off the golf course.

Scott McKechnie
