The Cumbria Union of Golf Clubs Seniors is an affiliated association of the Cumbria Union of Golf Clubs and we work closely with that organisation reporting to their committee on a regular basis. Our association was formed in 2001 to give senior (55 years and over) golfers with low handicaps the opportunity to play golf on a scratch basis against other low handicap golfers from the other Northern Counties. We now have matches against Cheshire, Durham, Lancashire, Northumberland and Yorkshire plus fixtures against the Cumbrian Juniors and the Cumbrian Ladies teams. We also enter a six man team in the Northern Counties team competition and from this competition teams to represent the Northern Counties are selected to play matches against Scotland and the Midlands.

Through our associasion new friendships and acquaintances have developed and members have entered and travelled to the Northern, English, Scottish, Irish and British Senior Championships. We are always looking for low handicapped senior golfers, who enjoy a competitive but friendly tussle with like minded golfers to join us, but a warning if your handicap slips to nine at the end of the golfing year you are culled but can return if you bring your handicap back to 8.

At the moment the Chairman selects the team and the policy of the association is to select strong teams with the lower handicap players receiving more games than the higher handicap players but it is attempted to give as many of our members as possible at least one game per season.

We hope you are interested in joining us and the only cost to you will be a match fee when selected to play plus normal travel and meal costs.

The Cumbria Union of Golf Clubs Seniors at present we have a senior squad of 38 players aged over 55, with a maximum handicap of 8.4

We welcome anyone who is interested in representing the county, who is not in the squad to get in touch with us, by contacting the senior team Chairman Andrew Morrison on 01768 341790 or Secretary Alan Shaw 01229 825003
