''My name is Lee Adamson and I have the privilege of captaining the NGC Seniors section, known as the EGGS, for 2025 .
We are a group of golfers, 55 and over, that arrange and play our own competitions and Open days throughout the year. We also have a series of friendly challenge matches against other clubs' seniors, usually on a home and away basis.
We have designated tee times on a Tuesday morning throughout the year, in which we play a mixture of Individual Stableford, Medal rounds and Team games. Some of these fixtures are ''Majors'', which qualify the winners to get their names on the clubs honours board and also win a Trophy.
As Captain, I am merely a figurehead for a well organised group of people that ensure the EGGS is run smoothly. We have a committee which, among others, includes myself and my vice captain for the year, Alan Singleton.
Joining the EGGS couldn't be easier. Just contact me or any of the committee (see the noticeboard in the locker room). We ask for a nominal joining fee of £1 and this will ensure you receive the weekly newsletter and access to our dedicated Tuesday tee time slots.
On a Tuesday, one of the committee is always there to meet and greet in the 19th hole bar , where we also meet after the days round and where the captain will announce the result of the day's match.
On the social side, we usually get together for a special lunch after some Major Competitions and for our AGM and prizegiving at the end of the year. Also, the captain will arrange his 'away day', at a chosen course, of which everyone is welcome.
Throughout the year we will have fundraising activities for my chosen charity, which is 'Yorkshire Cancer Research'.
We are always looking to welcome new members to the section, so, don't be shy, get in touch and join a well organized and friendly group.
