NEWS FROM THE SENIORS – September 2026
Approaching the end of the season now with the final act of the Seniors vs The Ladies Section Fixture completed we now turn our attention to the close season activities
The 2027 Fixture List will be posted on this website well in advance so make a note in your diaries! As I write, this is still being constructed but will be published as soon as possible with a copy displayed on the Seniors Section notice board in the Gentleman’s Locker Room This year's List available above.
This year’s Away Day was held at Disley Golf Club and the main competition was won by Malcolm Aldred.  Congratulations to Malcolm who successfully negotiated around a challenging course (grateful for the buggies!)
The season’s final event was a most enjoyable match vs the Ladies Section. We managed to escape the rain which only started once we were back in the clubhouse. Played in a most convivial atmosphere resulting in an ‘honourable draw! It was enjoyed by all! – See the photograph in the Website Gallery– all agreed, worthy of a repeat next year – just need a few more men to join in next time!
Although there is still one 18 Hole Competition remaining, one having been added because of the cancellation of the Chorlton Matches, we now turn our attention to the closed season and the Winter Programme. The Winter 9 hole Seniors Competition is set to return again on 6th October. In addition to winning a prize for each competition, it also provides opportunity to win the Freda Newlove Trophy and Prize for the 4 best cumulative scores from the 6 competitions up to and including March next year. Please see the Fixture List on this website for the dates (as above).
A full programme of speakers has also now been arranged for our Seniors Lunches and, again, the details of these can be found below. A lot of effort goes in to preparing for these talks especially by those of our members willing to ‘volunteer’! I do hope that as many of you as possible will show your support for these efforts by attending and then join us after for lunch just to ensure the social side of our activities continue throughout the colder winter months. Please remember, guests are not only welcome, but actively encouraged!
Anyone reading this who is eligible and not a Seniors Section Member, please contact me on how to join as new members are always most welcome and we make it as easy as possible for you to do so!
Enjoy what remains of the season!
