Seniors Tour to Forest Pines May 18/19 2025

 

The first ever Seniors Tour saw 29 players visit Forest Pines golf resort for two rounds of golf, bed, breakfast and evening meal.

The event, organised by Barry Donovan, was a huge success and those of us lucky enough to have enjoyed the experience are hoping that the tour will become a permanent fixture of the Senior Section calendar.
