Seniors Section

On behalf of the Seniors Section of Cherwell Edge Golf Club, I would like to welcome all existing and new members to the new Golfing year.

Seniors are classed as over 55 years old on the 1st April. We have our own section Noticeboard on the wall of the Mens changing room in the main clubhouse.

Our dedicated competition day is a Wednesday and there is usually something different every week - please see the Club Diary for details - where we often have both 18 and 9 hole competitions running alongside each other - some mixed events, some drawn events, and some both mixed and drawn!

This year we are again running 3 separate Eclectics throughout the summer season from 1st April until the last Order of Merit medal of the year, usually in early November. These are split into age -related categories, one for 55 to 70 year olds, and the other two for those 71 and above. The scores will be automatically compiled from each relevant qualifying Seniors competition you play in, and we will sort your best score on each hole and deduct 3/8ths of your handicap to calculate your final net score – detailed terms are provided on the seniors noticeboard. We are also running summer singles and doubles matchplay knockout competitions.

If you are looking for a game you can join a group by putting your name into a booking space on the club’s booking system, or contact Jason at the club who will be able to point you in the direction of a Seniors Committee member who can assist in helping you to meet other members and get you fully integrated into the club.

We also run Inter-club friendly matches throughout the season against local clubs’ seniors, and if you would like to put your name down for these, the sign-up sheets can be found on the seniors notice board.

Our big social event each year is the Seniors Christmas Dinner where we also welcome partners. As well as being a great annual get together, we also hand out prizes to our Monthly Medal winners and the Order of Merit Trophy to the overall winner, along with any other unpresented trophies for our Board competitions in the year.

Once again welcome to the new season. Enjoy your golf and let’s start praying for the rain to stay away this year!
