Senior Golfer?

[Beezerk]

So what is the age you become one? Google says 50 is that correct at all clubs?
Asking for a friend ?

55 to a senior at my club

 

[AAC]

If I can remember that far back its 55 at our club

 

[Beezerk]

Phew ?

That’s odd, i imagined it would be the same for everything.

 

[Imurg]

50 at Pro level
55 at club level - but its club dependent
Some are 50....
You can't hide much longer......

55 at most. There is the odd club which has 50 for it's Opens, Alnwick for example in our area, but the vast majority are 55 (I did the checking for you last year @Beezerk )

Whilst there is a sigh of relief, you get to play cheap Opens off the yellow tees! What's not to love about that

I’m looking at booking some opens this year, this over 50 thing has maybe opened a few more doors, and off the yellows ???

It's great if you can find them at 50. I'm playing in one at West Lothian, Linlithgow, and I played at Alnwick last year, didn't like it enough to go back again. Alnwick was the only one I could find in the area that was 50. There may be some in Durham that are 50 but the ones that initially interested me were 55. Good luck in your hunt

It's generally 55, you'll see the rare open where 50+ is allowed, even fewer where it's 60.

Our club has just recently defined all senior trophies as 60 now that we're introducing a seniors club championship

55 would seem therefore to be the norm (50 for the pros)

Aye, 50+ is non-existent in the NE, a smidgen in Moray & the Highlands, and some in Angus and Fife, but generally very hard to find.

 

[Slab]

60 I believe (not a uk based club)

 

[IanM]

55 round here...

I think it is 60 in Cornwall

There's a few senior opens for 50 and over in central Scotland including my course, check Golf Empire Seniors opens.
No worries anyway Martyn, you'll easily pass for 60 mate .

I think there are 2 maybe 3 fifty plus opens up here, but the rest are 55..

 

[nickjdavis]

our club Seniors begin at 55 and most of our County events class Seniors as 55 and over.

 

[GG26]

55 at my club and that’s usually been the case for the opens that I’ve entered, although there are a few that are 60+

 

[arnieboy]

55 for us, that age seems to be a long time ago for me!

 

[Ethan]

I think it is 60 at BL.
