Veterans Section

Our Club maintains a well established, very active and integrated golfing section specifically for the benefit and enjoyment of those senior male members that have attained 60 years of age. 

The section organised by a committee provides an annual programme of competitive and social golf always held on weekdays, together with other associated events. Throughout the Summer months 28 "˜Friendly' matches are played against other seniors/veterans of clubs ranging geographically from Burnham-on Crouch to Stowmarket in Suffolk. These matches comprise eight groups of pairs playing, with handicap allowances, in a Four Ball Better Ball format and gives participants the opportunity of playing both at "˜home' and "˜away' at some of the finest courses in north Essex and Suffolk. Each match is followed by a convivial two course meal and drinks.

Additionally, each year there are, at least, eight Monthly Stablefords, singles' and pairs' knockout competitions, a Guest Day (where one can invite a senior colleague from another club), and two major well supported competitions towards the end of the Season all with generous, either ProShop credit or a range of other prizes. Annually our Section enters a team into two Inter Club Seniors/Veterans tournaments with competitor teams from mid Essex and south Suffolk. 

Entry information regarding these activities are displayed on the Veterans' notice board in the gentlemen's changing rooms and/or in the 'Members' menu of the Club's website. Further information can be obtained from Nick Clare, Veterans' Captain or from
