Rebranding the Seniors Section. Help!

[Phil OSophical]

Seniors? Elders? Old Codgers? Saga Louts?

I'm looking for a new name for our senior section (for members 55 and over). Needs to be less ageist!

I remember being horrified when all those Saga ads poured through my post box on my 50th birthday!

Any suggestions for "rebranding" our "more mature" section to make it more appealing; perhaps a tad more inclusive?

How can a section defined by age be less ageist? If youre that fussed call it what it is, the Over 55s

Old enough to know better

based on another thread recently, how about the Brylcreem Boys lol

Amanda's suggestion is a good one but ultimately the section is what it is. Maybe the penalty for getting the course blocked out for you, getting cheap rates at Opens is being called Senior ?. Pretty decent trade off ?

My first club's Senior section was called the OFFs..

The old guard

If the best over 50's golfers in the world are happy to play on the Senior Tour - that should be a good
enough moniker for club golfers.

Nothing wrong with seniors … it’s used the world over! Does what it says on the tin. Your suggestion of changing it is political correctness gone mad. It ain’t broke, so don’t fix it.

Everyone knows what a Senior is and it's used by - I would think, all - clubs up and down the land. Why does it need changing? Shall we also find a new name for Juniors?

There is a club around my area that calls their senior section The Stoics.

There were so many of us using one I wanted to call us the Old Buggyers.
