All systems go for Murcia Senior Men's

Open week at Hacienda del Alamo

By KEITH HOWIE
Following last year’s highly successful inaugural Murcia Seniors Open Week at the five-star Spanish golf resort of Hacienda del Alamo, it is all systems go for this year's programme, to be staged from October 18 to 25.
Scottish Seniors Golfing Society captain Gordon MacDonald has had recent meetings with Hacienda del Alamo Director of Golf Billy Sim to produce a package which at least matches the terms offered last year.
Ian Brotherston (Dumfries and County) expects to defend his singles title and also the doubles with partner George Rodaks (Moffat). Many of the other top names in Scottish seniors golf have already committed, determined to wrest the trophies away from the Doonhamer.
Entry priority will be given to SSGS members but we have arranged to increase the field of players to 90. We are therefore able to take enquiries from non-members with handicaps of 12.4 and below on the understanding that they may have to give way to existing members.
Initial reservations should be by email to Gordon MacDonald gordon@corriemar.demon.co.uk
After the 2008 event we surveyed the members who were there. Suggestions coming out of the survey have been reviewed and implemented where appropriate.
You can download an entry form/flier here or from the SSGS website www.scottishseniorsgolf.com and send with your deposit to the address shown.
Entries close on June 30, after which any numbers shortfall will be supplemented by Spanish members.
