This has to be the worst way of responding to a post.

In reference to the op stop whining and get on with it

????

AS for OP his moans adds fuel to the argument that UK should start using the Slope Index system , this levels the playing fields

well that woke you all up and got you talking, no it wasn`t a joke but a comment/suggestion I received a few years ago when I was an Open organiser, I wasn`t as shocked as some of you, in fact thought some points were valid and future events had a best visitors prize. tend to agree with smiffy`s comments tho`

ps sorry about the wet pc.

It becomes a level playing field when these players come and play at your course in your clubs senior open..

I qualify for seniors this autumn and like Smiffy will be looking for a few nice cheap days out next year, not too worried about the result as we all know it takes a few rounds to know the course well enough to compete.
Before I read it I thought the post was going to complain about those people that hang on to their handicaps at a false level to compete in these competitions which again was why i was not expecting to win them just enjoy the day out.

I can't wait to qualify for Senior events. Great courses great value and great company. What more do you want for your money. Even if there are some home players, they still have to produce the goods on the day. Very disappointing reaction

Old people, there's no pleasing them.

You get all that, for next to nothing, the course is effectively closed for the day to non seniors, you get fed, prizes, golf, and now you want an advantage.

If your handicap doesn't travel, it's not really your handicap. If the seniors where you are visiting can hit 400 yard par fours in two, why can't you? It is the same for every one.

Agree with Murph and everyone! Amazing. Probably also unfair that the locals may like all the food that is layed on more than visitors as well!

Not forgeting you don't have to be a senior to enjoy the benefits of playing at another club.Most clubs will run pairs, singles and mixed open comps throughout the year.

The only problem I have found playing in Seniors competitions is that the sights I see in the shower room afterwards can give me nightmares. Everything needs ironing...

Last turkey in the shop?
