Senior Inter Club Away Match to Grange and Broughty Ferry on Monday 6th May 2024

 

Please note that there are spaces available so contact Chris asap.

Senior Inter Club Matches

The Seniors team went to Arbroath on Monday the 22nd April and narrowly lost 3.5 to 2.5. The team was hampered by the absence of a Senior who failed to turn up without prior notification. This denied the opportunity for a Reserve to be called up to play.

The next game is Away (11.50am) to Grange and Broughty Ferry on Monday 6th May and further names are required for this match, so sign up on the Seniors Notice Board in the Centre.

There is also spare places available for the Home match (11.30am) against Forfar on Monday 20th May.

 

Again Sign Up on the Senior Notice Board to play different courses against fellow Seniors for the cost of £20 cash on the day, which pays for golf, bacon rolls and coffee followed at the end of the match with a two course meal. Great value when you consider it can be Home and Away matches for £40.00
