If these are handicapped friendlies, does the age difference matter so much? If in a competitive format, can terms of comp set an age limit?Our club is 55 it can be a bit awkward when we have matches against clubs where it is 60 so I imagine it would be even more awkward if the gap is 50 to 60.
It is more inclusive!Our club is proposing lowering the senior section age from 55 to 50,can anyone point out to me the advantages for our club to do this, have many other clubs done this and how as it worked out?
55 Newport and 60 at Saunton. I was delighted at being told I was too you to join the latter!

I suspect you are referring to the senior series which is 50, but you cannot represent England Seniors until you are 55 and all scratch events are 55. I understand though that they are discussing lowering that to 50. All Regional and County events to my knowledge are also 55 currently.EngGolf use 50 for Seniors...... 60 years is the Vets. Can't see a problem if 50's play against 55years or 60 years as the H/cap will deal with it & in any case they are friendly Comps, Just get on with it.
