AGM Response from a former Captain
As I was unable to attend the
AGM much of the content of the day has come to me second hand. As a very early
morning player I was disappointed to hear that we as a group are going to
penalised as we don't play with the main group. All of the players who tee off
before 8am are members of the Seniors Section of the Golf Club and have paid
their membership fee for those who are under 80, the remainder are exempt and
the club acknowledges this as we now are categorised as Veterans. Many of
us have served the club and the seniors section, I've no idea how many years it
all adds up too but it is significant. We have a Club Secretary a Seniors
Secretary and a Seniors Fixtures Secretary. We have 5 former Vice-Captains and
Captains and 3 who organised charity and open competitions.
Perhaps many of you don't
know why we chose to play at these ridiculous hours. Many of us have
commitments with our wives/partners who require hospital appointments, younger
family members who require transport and other requests that we are able to
help with. Starting at sunrise gives us a chance to not only enjoy playing golf
with our friends but also completing other tasks during the day however,
committing to play regularly in competitions is very difficult. We do have 3
away days a year and try to do regular qualifiers and our cards are kept . We seldom when playing hold up those behind us.
There are few competitions
that we would wish to and are eligible to compete in; these include Memorial
trophy, Past Captains trophy and Super Seniors Cup.
We are comfortable to be a
self contained group. However, I'm saddened to find us being relegated to the
has-been group. I am unable to find a good reason for this; could it be that we
cheat or disregard competition rules. Clearly, if you serve your club it
counts as nothing as one gets older. I would ask to the committee to reconsider
this decision; a written response would be appreciated.
By the way, EGGS translates
to Elderly Gentlemen's Golf Society with the emphasis on GENTLEMEN.
