The Seniors Championship was held at Shirley Golf Club on July 2nd and was not only a keenly contested competition, but was a very sociable and successful occasion. This was the second year that the ladies played in the morning, followed by the Men’s Senior event in the afternoon making it a very enjoyable day.
Fortunately the temperature had dropped a little from the previous few days, but the dry conditions and a significant wind made the playing conditions somewhat unpredictable as reflected in the scores. Almost a full field of 47 players from 16 Warwickshire clubs took to the course and enjoyed a light lunch after playing, which provided a lovely atmosphere in the clubhouse.
Vicki Pinnick, Shirley Golf Club Lady Vice Captain and Lesley James, Seniors Captain welcomed everyone and Sue Timberlake, WLCGA President, presented the prizes, which were well distributed across Warwickshire Clubs.
