GENTS - SENIOR SECTION

In addition to the regular Gents Section Strathmore has an active Seniors section for golfers over 50 years of age. This group meets every Thursday throughout the year, course and weather permitting with the first Thursday in each month from April to October set aside for the Monthly Medal. Intervening Thursdays are occupied with Stableford competitions and the odd foursome, four ball and Texas Scramble.

The Tinker Trophy, played on the last Thursday in May adds that additional challenge with only 3 clubs plus a putter in your bag and to complete our programme we have two events involving the fairer sex, in March (The T. Findlay Mixed Texas Scramble) and in August (SENIORS v LADIES).

Outwith the internal club meetings we play 6 or 7 matches each year against other clubs in the area with home and away fixtures spread over the April to September period. All seniors who wish to represent the club are invited to put their names forward when the sheets go up, normally about one month ahead of the Matches to be played, and every effort will be made to include all comers.

The section currently numbers about 50, is growing every year and during the summer season can normally count on about 40 participants for each meeting.
