Senior Captain 2024

It is with pride and honour that I take the role as Seniors Club Captain for 2024. I appreciate all your good wishes and support for this coming year. Our Seniors Committee focus and resolve will be do everything we can to ensure you have an enjoyable golfing year.

My thanks to our outgoing Captain Bill Bryce for all his assistance, courtesy and leadership in 2023 and having a very successful year.

I am privileged to be Seniors' Captain for this year, as my Charity “The Willow Foundation” Bob and Meg Wilson Charity celebrates 25 years. See below a hyperlink to my charity ambassador.

We are very fortunate to have our hard-working members that give up their time, energy and expertise in serving on committees to ensure the club runs smoothly year on year. Our club and facilities are the envy of many of our neighbouring and visiting clubs alike. We are also very fortunate to have loyal and proud members and we extend a warm welcome to our new members joining this year.

I am confident that 2024 will be an exciting and positive year for the club and one we look forward to on and off the course.

I look forward to meeting you all and wish all our members a great golfing year in 2024.  My challenge to you all is simply this, as Seniors are you getting the maximum benefit from your membership?
