This has a flourishing section with monthly medals played on Sundays. Other reserved tee times are on Saturdays and friendly competitions are held on most Friday evenings. The men’s teams play in both the Cumbria and Lunesdale leagues, which play in the evenings. Friendly matches are also arranged against other local clubs.
The men play for many trophies, some of the oldest and most cherished are: the Morley Saunders Challenge Cup (1907), the Captain’s Cup (1928), the Captain’s Day Trophy (1928), the Veterens’ Cup (1930), the Roberts Trophy (1930), the Club Championship (1950), the Rabbits’ Trophy (1954); and for a knock-out competition - the Scar (1934). There are many newer competitions all receiving strong competition. The photo courtesy of Barry Ayre, is of Major Morley Saunders (on right), club captain and then president, 1906-13.
The usual major golfing events such as various Men’s Invitation Days to Captain’s Day, President’s Day to the Men’s Open take place culminating in the Men’s dinner and presentation night in late November.
