Entry for the AVGC Seniors Club Championship on Monday 21st July 2025 opens @ 07:00 on Monday 23rd June and will close @ 18:00 on Monday 7th July.
This is a Medal competition with Gross and Nett divisions.
To be eligible to compete in this event, all players must have 12 recorded scores with England Golf, of which at least 5 are recorded, in the 12 months prior to the competition, in qualifying competitions at AVGC.
Terry Curtis, the Seniors Treasurer, will shortly supply details of the options for payment of the Entry Fee.
This is the highlight of the Seniors golfing calendar and it would be great to see a very large turnout competing for the honours!
The Veterans Trophy, for players aged 70+, will also be played as part of this competition - this is Medal Nett format.
The Seniors Jones Drawn Pairs Foursomes Stableford took place today for 36 combatants (18 pairs). Pairs had to choose odd or even holes to drive off on and then play every other shot. A fun format and the winners were:
1. Nigel Handyside & Mick Lee - 37 points;
2. Adrian King & Michael Bishop - 37 points;
3. Mike Haigh & Bob Parish - 36 points.
The Trophy was presented by John Crowson on the putting green. Well played everyone.
