Truro Golf Club
Seniors Section

2025 has been an excellent year for TGC Seniors. The Club has seen many improvements and this will continue during 2026. New updated changing facilities are due to commence early in 2026 and course improvements will continue. The Club is in a sound financial position and the future looks bright. The Senior’s Section is now regarded as an essential and important part of the Club. We now have representation on the Board with our Senior’s Chairman having a non voting position and with regular attendance at the Handicaps Committee meetings.  

 

The Senior’s Section grows from strength to strength. We now have over 150 members. Most of our Seniors Competitions attract 60 to 80 entries. In June 2025, 180 Seniors took part in our Seniors Open Day of which 73 were visitors. This was a highly successful day and raised £800 for our nominated charities - LARF and Penhaligan’s Friends.  My Captain’s Day raised £500 for charity and during the day we ran a Defibrillator Training Session. I am pleased to say that the Seniors Section has contributed the funds for a new updated Defibrillator for the Club. 

 

Our new Seniors Website went live this year and this has been huge success. Many thanks to 

Andy Edwards for his expertise in developing and running the website.  

 

The Seniors Section ran 15 major competitions as well as regular monthly Stableford competitions throughout 2025. The year started with a new 2 club and a putter trophy (which was a great success) and culminated in our Christmas prize giving and handover meal in December. We played 15 home and 14 away friendly Senior Matches this year. One match was cancelled due to bad weather. I was fortunate to have great support and 59 Seniors took part in the Matches. We won 13 matches, lost 14 and drew 2. It was the highlight of my year as Captain and I thoroughly enjoyed playing, particularly visiting some wonderful courses around Cornwall. We were blessed with excellent weather throughout the summer and the views from some of the courses was truly spectacular. A lot of Seniors took part this year and I would really recommend entering in 2026.  

 

The year would not have been such a success without a lot of help. Many thanks to my Vice Captain Pete Tatlow who ran the Competitions and the Open Day. Pete also kept everyone up to date with regular informative emails. 

 

Thanks also to the rest of the Committee. Julian for continuing to be our Chairman. Peter for keeping our finances on an even keel. John for maintaining our trophies and for his historical knowledge. Tony, our Membership Secretary, for keeping us up to date with new members and providing an updated membership list and Terry for supplying us with very smart golfing attire.  I would also like to thank Pete and Paul in the Office who did a lot of unseen work behind the scenes particularly re the Seniors Competitions. Their input helped to make everything run smoothly. Jess and her team also need praise as they looked after us and provided us with excellent food throughout the year. Thanks also to Dom and his team of green keepers who have kept our course in excellent condition and are always trying to make improvements. Indeed we had numerous comments from visiting golfers praising our course and it is something we can be proud of. 

 

Best Wishes for 2026

Happy Golfing
