There's a decent 2 day seniors comp at brokenhurst in July I think, it's midweek though.

There was a good turn out of old fellas last year

That's been my bible for this year - Playing my first seniors comp in April - some great courses and cheap as chips (at least in Scotland)

Warning!

Not all clubs subscribe to www.golfempire.co.uk so it is worth looking at individual club websites.

Hmm, I'm in demand, I have Upsidedown (Ben) for senior comps in the Midlands and slightly North West and you for the South, anyone else want a piece of me

I never knew they held comps for amatures , do you need a handicap cert or anything

Yes you do and there are literally hundreds of competitions in all different categories up and down the country.

Have a look at the golfempire site posted above and select an area then the type of competition you are looking for. I'm sure you will find plenty of events to suit what you are after :thup:

I
use The Wee Yellow Book.

 

[Foxholer]

I use The Wee Yellow Book.

Which, these days, is no longer quite so Wee, not just a book and the Yellow bit is irrelevant other than on google!

Great to see it, or at least the concept, surive! The concept was in some doubt for a while as t'internet took over from the printed list!

HappyGolf!
