Strongest field for Scottish seniors'

event at Glasgow Gailes

By KEITH HOWIE
Entries for the Scottish Seniors Golfing Society's two-day stroke competition at Glasgow Gailes on May 14-15 closed with 140 received. This led to implementation of a ballot, taking numbers back to our maximum field of 120. Colin
As our constitution dictates that no more than 20% of competitors may be under the age of 55, this factor also required a ballot adjustment. Cut-off point was handicap 7.5
On the positive side we have assembled our strongest field yet and there will be intense competition for the gold medal and the coveted order of merit points which go with it.
After Gailes, the show moves on to Stirling. We have already 90 entries. Prospective competitors should remember that closing date is four weeks before the competition with cut-off at 5pm on the Wednesday evening.
Entries are invited for the newly-added Autumn Open at Haddington. Details and entry forms can be found on the Society's website http://www.scottishseniorsgolf.com/
