Men’s Wednesday Seniors

Having started in the early 1990s, the Seniors Competition is a longstanding competition in the club and caters for retired or nearly retired gentlemen who look forward to year round golf in a competitive environment. However, the competitive nature of the Seniors is not only confined to Killiney Golf Club as over the years they have taken part in the annual Inter Club Veterans competition for the Eric Patterson trophy held in Dun Laoghaire Golf Club.

The weekly Seniors competition in Killiney takes place every Wednesday and is well supported by both established and newer members. The Seniors year in the club is divided into 3 sessions of 4 months and prizes are awarded every week across two divisions. On the final day of each of these sessions a bumper Gala Day is held with special prizes including day prizes and cumulative prizes.

While there is a strong weekly competitive edge among Seniors the competition, in itself, affords the opportunity for informal social gathering among participants.
