What age are you a "Senior"

[PhilTheFragger]

There seems to be some confusion as to what age you have to be to be a senior.

Looks like it is 50 at Aylesbury Park, I know it's 60 at Little Hay

What is it at your place and is there a standard age written down anywhere?

50 for The Seniors Tour, 55 at our place.

Whenever I enter a Seniors Open I used to have to check the qualifying age.
Some are 55, some are 60.
Unfortunately, I don't have to check anymore....

I am playing in the veterans cup at Cooden this year, the qualifying age is 60. I know some may be surprised that I actually qualify, but believe me, I do.
I used to be sponsored by Oil of Ulay.

Seniors at ours is 60 .

County is 55

 

[PhilTheFragger]

So how can you have seniors comps between clubs when 1 club has 50 year olds, and the other club is over 55 or 60

Doesn't sound right

55 to play in senior champs and KO - 60 to play for the senior team

Believe County is 55

55 at ours, not sure when you qualify as a vet though.

Some opens are 50 and over some 55 some 60 some over 65.
I meet the criteria for them all.
I just love beating 50 year old whippersnappers :rofl:

Have I read this wrong? Why would I be surprised?

WP is 55 and E is 60. That is down to how many seniors there are. More at E so the higher entry range. Most seniors events around here are 55 but I played in one at Reay in Scotland at 53 as the entry was over 50.

55 at Batchworth Park GC.

 

[Norrin Radd]

55 at mine . looking at opens it varies from 50 to 60 .

 

[Billysboots]

60 at our Club and that seems standard in Leics.

Should hear the oldies moan when they play an inter-club match with clubs from outside the county and those clubs have 55 year olds in their team.

Makes no difference really as most who play for our team are 70+, we "younger" seniors don't seem interested. Probably due to their collar and tie rules for post-match meals.
