GENTS GOLFERS

Our gents section encompasses complete beginners to scratch and ex-professional golfers, juniors to older players wanting to keep their tickers turning. As such we offer a broad range of golf including :-

• Competitive golf every Saturday throughout the year
• Twice monthly competitions on a Tuesday and Sunday during the summer
• Competitive and friendly matches against local clubs for all standards of golfer
• Social and mixed golf

Over the last 5 years our first team have won the Bradford Team Championships twice and in 20… were Yorkshire team champions. We have a strong group of junior golfers keen to supplant our existing first team, all of whom are local to the club and have been coached by our 3 teaching professionals. For members new to golf we offer introductory lessons that include instruction on rules, etiquette and scoring as well as how to hit a golf ball.
