Your senior club championship.

Just a quick question. Your club no doubt has a senior club championship. What is the format. Most I know are played off scratch after say two Q rounds or whatever, then match play to a final.
How does your club do it. ?

I don't know for sure but knowing our seniors, I'm going to hazard a guess that it is stableford off the yellows :D

EDIT: Just checked HDID and it doesn't appear that we have one, at least there are no results for one for the last 3 years.

Closest most Southern Clubs get to Seniors Champs is likely to be a Knockout/Matchplay Comp - and off the Forward Tees.
 
Short memories, it was not too long ago that a senior golfer tied for The Open.

Most low handicap senior club golfers tend to bypass their clubs senior section and concentrate on real golf.
 
We have three, all medal-play and all off the whites (the blues would probably be a step too far!).

Old Boys' Cup - Over 50's
Veterans' Cup - Over 60's
Over 70's Cup - Self explanatory
 
I have never been low enough to enter our club champs, now well into senior status your post made me think , I don't believe we have a senior club champs comp, will enquire.
 
nope :(

Did you mean senior as in over 55 or as in adult ? im taking it as adult ??

pretty sure it will be over 55 as the 'adult' Club Champs are pretty much at every club in the country


my club is best 2 round qualifying out of 3 then matchplay knock out- all scratch.

There is also a Seniors Open each year fully subscribed and sometimes won by a sub par round:cool:

Ours is played midweek, 18 holes, both a scratch and a net champion and also I believe a separate over 70 net champion. Pretty sure they play it off the yellows too

Seems to be...............Okay at Dunbar for example we have three championship Q rounds, off the full length course. Best two out of three gross scores go through to a match play situation, top 16 off scratch. These three rounds run the same as the main club championship............so' like myself in 2012, I Q for both championships.

Last year the top four senior players HC combined didn’t amount to 10. It’s a championship worth playing for and worth winning. The reason I asked, if it was done properly it would be worth playing for rather than some half hearted effort.
