Southport Old Links Golf Club is calling for volunteers to help support the upcoming Seniors Open on Tuesday 05 May. With tee times scheduled from 8.30am and 1.00pm, there are a variety of roles available throughout the day, and any support—whether for a short time or the full day—would be greatly appreciated. Tasks will vary, offering plenty of ways for members to get involved and contribute to a successful event. An interest list is available on the Seniors noticeboard, but all volunteers are welcome. If you’re able to help, please include your availability and someone will be in touch with further details. Thank you in advance for your support in helping the day run smoothly.

MEMBERS REWARD CARD Bring paying guests to play the course and receive £10 credit on your F&B card purse. Collect your members reward card from the Office and each time you bring a guest, get it stamped by the Bar / Office / Pro Shop. (1 per guest whether 9 or 18 being played) Once you have 6 stamps on the card you can claim £10 credit from the office which will be added to the Food and Beverage section of your members card. Please note though, there is a limit on how many times you can bring the same guest over the year in our rules. The limit for this is eight times per individual guest. Do use this summer to welcome your golfing friends and family to the club and get yourself some free money in 2026 :)

We now have our first batch of Centenary logo accessories in store, including hats, markers, pitch forks, towels, umbrellas and luggage. Drop in and treat yourself or start thinking about Christmas gifts...! All remaining old logo stock is also on offer, so grab a bargain whilst stocks last. Lastly, please remember that although stock is limited in the pro shop, members credit can also be used at Southport Golf Academy, against any goods or services. We have access to an extensive network of other pro shops, along with stock from our buying group, Foremost Golf (www.foremostgolf.com), so if there is something that you require that we do not carry in stock, please ask and we will do our best to supply it for you.

Council would like to formally recognise and thank Alison Bryant for her commitment and contribution in her role as our Women in Golf Charter Champion for the last 2 years. The Women in Golf Charter, led nationally by The R&A and England Golf, supports clubs in developing a more inclusive culture and creating meaningful opportunities for women and girls within the game. Alison has played an important role in helping Southport Old Links continue its commitment to these principles, promoting engagement, visibility and positive progression within the club. Alison has indicated her intention to step down from the role at the end of the current year. Importantly, she has kindly offered to remain in post through 2026 if required and is willing to support and mentor a successor during a transition period. Council is extremely grateful for both her service to date and her willingness to ensure a smooth handover. Early notice of her decision allows us to undertake structured succession planning and we will now be inviting expressions of interest from members who may wish to take on the role in the future. The position is not gender-specific and Council believes a shadowing arrangement during 2026 would provide an excellent opportunity for a smooth transition. Further details regarding the role and responsibilities will be available in due course and anyone interested in hearing more can get in touch with the Office to find out more and discuss this important and exciting role for the club moving forward.
