It is my great pleasure to be the Seniors Captain for 2025. Those that have held the position in the past know it is a ‘hands on’ job which also includes being on the Club’s Management committee.  

The Seniors section of Haverhill Golf Club is an extremely important part of the club as a whole and is a very active and diverse section that values all its members. We have a committee made up of Senior players which as Captain I chair. It oversees the running of the Seniors Section including all the competitions listed below.

There is something for all seniors within this section of the club and the competitions that are available include:

Monday League
This is a mixed competition run yearlong on Monday mornings, the league being played on most Mondays interspersed with cup and trophy competitions throughout the year.

Bits
I’ve been at the club for five years now and was welcomed into the Seniors Section from day one and introduced to the Bits competition almost immediately.  If you want to get to know the club and your fellow golfers, I can recommend it as the best way to do it!
The Bits is a fantastic competition played throughout the year on Friday mornings (midweek playing available) with a multitude of prizes for different aspects of golf, 5 x leagues, team scores, individual scores, eclectic, twos and the bits themselves. It all sounds serious, but it is played in good spirits with around 55 seniors regularly turning out. There are two distinct groups within the Bits - The Early Birds who regularly fill the early tee times and the Pygama Brigade who struggle to get out of bed and fill the later slots!

Summer knockout competition
Played yearly with a guaranteed Lady v Gent final.

Seniors Awayday
An away day open to all seniors, an opportunity to visit another golf course en-masse with prizes award, including a very nice trophy for the winner.

Friendly matches
We have forty fixtures split into home and away versus other likeminded clubs running from March to October and all those interested in playing are certain to get a game or two each month.

Mixed matches
Fixtures versus other likeminded clubs.
