Ours is set by the club but it is the same as the county, which has been 55 for as long as i can remember...its only been relevant to me since 4 years ago but this year will be my first proper year of entering Seniors comps.
When can you play in Snr Comps?

Would have thought the counties would get together and have a standard age .

Maybe they are keeping with the times and just following when you can start drawing your private pension?

My dad is now 80 but still refuses to play with the "old buggers" in the seniors section at his club.

I’m 67 and reluctant to play in the seniors team games .My dad is now 80 but still refuses to play with the "old buggers" in the seniors section at his club.
They still have jacket and tie ,it’s a full day as well.
Some very nice away courses though!

We changed from 60 to 55 at the start of last year. Comps are usually Tuesday or Thursday mornings. Matches are always weekday mornings with a late lunch afterwards.
We have an over-60 open AmAm and an over-70 open AmAm.
The change to 55 has made no significant change in participation.
I played in a seniors match last summer and I'm pretty sure that at 63 years and 10 months I was the youngest of the 24 players taking part.
But maybe some of them had tough paper rounds and are not as old as they look.

In our interclub seniors matches there is just one club that has the age set as 60 but it is not enforced for teams from other clubs playing there.
