Can I see your ID son?

[Sats]

Funny that as a 42 year old man, I own my home, drive a car, work, pay taxes, shave (very rarely), married, have kids, can drink alcohol and all those adult things. Yet, at my club 1/2 the comps I'm not allowed to play in because I'm not old enough? Anyone else feel like the kid in the pub that couldn't get served.

I'm not quite sure what your point is? There have always been junior and senior competitions, are you referring to some other category?

My point was just I find it amusing that I'm not old enough yet.

 

[Voyager EMH]

Yes, I get your point.
When I was your age I used to refer to be the owner of a Wally Card. Full price paid for everything everywhere. Not under 25, not a student, not unemployed, not over 60 etc
Just show your Wally Card - accepted everywhere.
Happily, I've been able to cut mine up.

Unfortunately you'll be a senior before you know it...
Hit seniors age this year, no thanks I still have aspirations about getting better ?

 

[North Mimms]

I'm guessing you can't play in the women's competitions either

 

[toyboy54]

Think yourself lucky,wish ( really,really wish ) I was your age-
Things seemed so much easier/simpler-AND I had a golf swing!!

Well it's the same as not claiming a pension yet or getting a free bus pass?

 

[Beezerk]

Out of interest, how old do you need to be to qualify for seniors comps?

[Voyager EMH]

At my club 60.
Yet county seniors comps it is 55.

Pay less fees and get more access to the course and competitions, the charmed life of senior golfers.

Nowadays can't I just identify as a woman on those comps?

We don't give discounts to seniors anymore - I'd thought that had died out most places.

Clubs round here still seem to give them if you have been a member for a number of years.

Northumberland tends to be 55. My guess is Durham will be the same. Most opens in the NE are 55 so that seems to add up.

I played in a seniors open last week where the age was 50+. It felt very, very weird . It was the only one I could find in the area with that age level.

ATM we still have scaled discounts ranging from 10% to 40% for those over 65s who have been a full member continuously for at least 25 years.
But it's reviewed yearly and the qualifying conditions and discounts are changing every year.
Some senior opens start at 50 others are 65 and over.

Don’t wish your life away ... old age, with all its niggling problems, will come soon enough.

This.
Seems like only yesterday I was walking 36 holes carrying a bag.
