SCOTTISH SENIORS GOLFING SOCIETY
WHY JOIN?
Men aged 50 and over who have handicap indices of 9.4 or less, will find that Scottish Seniors Golf provides them with a great opportunity to keep a competitive edge to their game and allow them to mix with some of the country's top senior amateur golfers.
Men aged 65 and over with handicap indices of 15.4 or less, can play in Super Senior events. Anyone joining under this category would only become eligible to play in main tour events when their handicap index is 9.4 or less.
The Society, formed in 2007, is thriving and the standard of play improves year on year. We play our competitions on some of Scotland's best courses and each year the core of Scottish Golf's Senior national and international teams are selected from our Order of Merit.
Entry fees for competitions cover costs for venues, administration expenses and prizes.
The annual subscription for current members is £25. New members pay a first year subscription of £45 which includes a welcome pack.
