Arrangements for the upcoming season

Senior's matches are played between Peebles and other nearby golf clubs as friendlies. I have taken over from Simon Dryden as senior captain and so am responsible for organising these matches over the next two years.

A list of the fixtures for these matches can be found in a variety of places - 1) online at the Peebles Golf Club site in the members section - seniors fixtures or 2) under seniors - seniors matches - blog or 3) on the Senior noticeboard in the clubhouse. I will put up sheets on the noticeboard as regards requesting availability for each match then followed by a team sheet and match details. I will also message people who are playing in a match and put a copy of the team and match details on the Blog page. After each match the result will be put on the Blog and on the noticeboard.

Senior’s matches are open to all members aged 55 and over. There is a £12 fee for each match (home or away), which always includes a coffee/tea beforehand (and typically a bacon roll too), plus lunch afterwards. Matches are 6 x four ball better balls, usually from the yellow tees, with players receiving 90% of the difference between the lowest course handicapper in each group. Reserves for a previous match get priority for the next match they are available for. It is a good way of playing at other local courses and meeting and chatting to other golfers.
