Dear Senior
A warm welcome to our 2026 Seniors Friendly match season.
This season we have 21 matches, all of which are listed on the noticeboard in the back lobby of the clubhouse. These matches are essentially social contests with a friendly but competitive edge. There is a meal afterwards and the hosts always get the drinks. The format is 4bbb match play, usually in teams of twelve.
All Seniors are welcome to put themselves forward for selection regardless of handicap and we aim to share things round so everyone gets their fair chance to represent the Club.
We are now calling for availability for the first tranche of 6 matches:-
Thur 9 Apr 11:00 HOME Upavon
Thur 23 Apr 11:00 HOME Drayton Park
Thur 14 May 11:00 HOME Weybrook Park
Thur 21 May 10:00 AWAY Drayon Park
Thur 28 May 11:00 AWAY Weybrook Park
Thur 4 Jun 09:00 HOME Newbury & Crookham
Please email, (ensuring that it is addressed to me at [email protected]) with a simple yes “Y” or no “N” adjacent to each fixture
Some points from previous years:-
• if selected you will get an email (incl pairings, time, dress code & meal cost)
• a list with all the above details will also go up on the noticeboard
• if you aren’t selected, we ask you to be a reserve on standby
• everyone, whether picked or not, gets to see what’s happened
• the meal afterwards is not optional
• if your availability changes, let us know immediately, please don’t wait until we pick the team
• in all cases, the teams are selected by the Seniors’ Captain
• make sure to keep a note of the dates you have said ‘yes’ to
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any queries about how these matches work.
Best wishes for a great summer
