Based upon feedback on the day and subsequent emails the Senior Open of 2011 held on August 31st was a great day and all enjoyed playing the course which was presented in excellent condition thanks to the efforts of the green keeping staff and the fairway repairs carried out by some of the senior section members.
Yet again the Manor of Groves Hotel served an excellent carvery in the Colonnade room and praise for the food was received from many of the 104 players.
On the day we had 104 golfers, from 46 different clubs many of which were local Hertfordshire and Essex clubs, but yet again we also attracted players from as far afield as Leicester and Lewes.
The Mayor of Sawbridgeworth, Derek Filler, and this years Senior Captain Tom Jones presented the pairs prizes for 1st through 7th and the four individual nearest the pin prizes.
