We finally made it…
The Newbattle gents seniors open took place over 2 days, unfortunately over the space of 2 weeks on Tuesday and Wednesday 1st and 16th August. The weather meant the course was closed for the 2nd days play on the 2nd August but even with the rain we had, the course was in excellent condition and commented on by a number of visitors. Many thanks to our green staff for preparing the course to such a great.
Many thanks to all the bar and catering staff, for their service over the day. Also many thanks go out to the staff in the office, pro shop who helped with rearranging the days and to all the volunteers who helped prepare the course, and helped with starting all the players across the 2 days. We could not put these events on without this support.
We hope all participants enjoyed their day and we hope to see many of you back next year. A lot of you have told us you would definitely be back which is great to hear.
Prizes are awarded for the top 7 handicap scores, and for the top two scratch scores in each age category (where any player qualifies for a prize in both scratch and handicap, only the higher award is paid, with the smaller prize moving onto the next best player in the relevant category).

Newbattle Gents Seniors Open 2023
Thanks to everyone who participated in this years invitational Silloth competition, which took place over both days of this weekend (5th and 6th August)
Silloth is a great event that welcomes guests from other clubs.
There were some terrific scores on both days and the list of winners is attached – 6 handicap and 2 scratch prizes were awarded – congratulations to all.
Many thanks to all those who helped on both days; with a special call out to Jim Bunce, Alex Forrester and Ian Sneddon for the support with the building and dismantling of the tent and ferrying up supplies. Also thanks to Lorna, Danny and their teams for the service in the golf club.
Jim and his green staff, the visitors could not have complemented the course any higher. We will all agree the course is in great condition given the busy period faced with the Pro Day, Gents Senior Open and the Silloth all in the space of a week. Thank you all.
And, here are the results – many congratulations to all the winners. All vouchers are held under the winning members names for you to share. Also any sweep money for 2s can be picked up in the pro shop.
