SENIORS’ ‘TEAM UNIFORM’
As outlined at the A.G.M., and continuing the initiative from last year, priority in selection will be given to those golfers who support the seniors’ ‘team uniform’, id est:-
• Black, team sweater – approximately 40 senior members bought these sweaters last year; there are a couple still available, (both size L)
• Black trousers.
• White, team polo shirt – there are still a number of last year’s ‘Ellesse’ polo shirts available, free of charge, to potential team players. (Please see A. Windass if you would like one – 1xM; 4xL; 3xXXL). The intention is to replace these 2017 polo shirts with plain white, appropriately crested club shirts. Sponsorship is currently being explored.
John McKenna does stock the appropriate garments, all from the “Greg Norman” collection
• Black crested Tynemouth G.C. merino sweater (v neck or ½ zip)
• Black crested Tynemouth G.C. merino ‘slip-over’
• White crested Tynemouth G.C performance micro pique polo shirt
• Black, lined, ‘wind top’ ¼ zip sweater ( due to be in John’s shop by mid-March)
League Matches
In relation to league matches, accepting that there will always be a diversity of opinions as to the criteria that should influence selection, the intention is to select the strongest teams available for these fixtures.
‘Friendly’ Matches
In terms of the friendly matches, the intention is to enable as many members as possible, who wish to play in these fixtures, to represent the seniors’ section.
