Mens Section

The Men's Section has flourished in recent years.  Headed by the Chairman of the Handicaps and Competitions Committee Richard Walker the section hosts many well supported competitions throughout the year.  The events which are mainly played on Saturdays (with the option of also playing on a Sunday morning) along with mid week events during the summer months regularly attract in excess of 100 entries.  Great prize funds are on offer during the wide ranging formats of events.  The Professionals Shop monitor and control the bookings to ensure those who want to play, can!
