Tournaments for Seniors 2011

The UK's most popular Seniors golf tournaments continue into 2011 - their 12th year, with increasing numbers of Clubs taking part.

The National Seniors Club Classic and the National Seniors Pairs Championship are two major golf competitions, open to all senior golfers in the UK.

The National Seniors Club Classic is a team competition, for four players (plus three reserves) taking on other Clubs in singles matchplay, either at home or away, in a knockout event. Last year saw a unique result with Wells GC and Turton GC being all-square after all four matches had reached the 18th green in the final. Rather than continue onto a sudden-death play-off the two teams decided to share the trophy. (Photo attached). In the early rounds matches are played on a regional basis to minimise travel.

The National Seniors Pairs Championship is a straightforward Pairs knockout event and attracts increasing numbers of players.

For both events the minimum age is 50 (though in truth most seniors are far more "experienced" than that !) and maximum handicap is 18.
