 1st July: Draws for Dumfries and Hamilton now showing

News for Super Seniors- The Sandy Pirie Trophy.

From 2010 we shall have a new event for over 65s with handsome trophies for a) over 65s and b) over 70s.  The 36 hole event is the brainchild of Sandy Pirie, our new committee representative for North of Scotland and main trophy carries his name. The inaugural event has now been confirmed for Stirling Golf Club on 29th and 30th July 2010.

This is a welcome and well thought out addition to the fixture list and one which received unanimous support from a mailing of our super seniors.

 

 

SSGS enter sponsorship tie-up with Abbeyfield Scotland Ltd. We are delighted to announce an agreement whereby Abbeyfield has provided a superb new trophy for our match play championship and will offer ongoing sponsorship for that event as well as funding to assist the overall running of our Society.

At a ceremony within their Head Office on 8th April, Abbeyfield chairman Michael White formally handed over the magnificent new trophy and sponsorship cheque to SSGS Captain Gordon MacDonald (see photo below)

   

Also attending the ceremony were Jim Craigie, Finance Director and Karen Barr, Head Office Service Manager, for Abbeyfield. Jim and Peter Kinloch and Keith Howie attended for SSGS. Member Brian Highley, who has a foot in both camps, was also present. Brian was the prime motivator behind the sponsorship agreement. Jim Craigie expressed his pleasure at the tie up and said there was a good deal of synergy between the organisations. More photos in the gallery. The trophy will be presented to our champion, Ronnie Maclean, during the Spring Open at Glasgow Gailes. 

For more on Abbeyfield see "Sponsors and Friends" in the main menu.

 

Since its conception in late 2006 the Society has seen remarkable growth in both numbers of competitors and in range of events. Gordon MacDonald, SSGS Life President, had the foresight to tap into an absence of regular, high level, competition for the over 50s and had also the perseverance to bring the organisation to fruition. Gordon is pictured here with SGU President John Sommerville during the 2007 Order of Merit presentation to SSGS legend Ian Hutcheon. We hope you will find the site easy to use and useful, whether for planning your diaries, checking results, starting times or buying from our range of merchandise. You can make any payments to the Society online- entry and membership fees,purchases etc. using your credit or debit cards through our fully secure payment system. With your support the Society will go from strength to strength. We have access to some of Scotland's finest golf courses and our ongoing aim is for razor-sharp competition but always in a spirit of uplifting sportsmanship.
