2014 Senior County Tournament
The 2014 Senior County Tournament ran under the format that changed 7 years ago. Just as our Men's tournament is divided into flights, our Senior tournament was divided into age groups. The age groups consist of 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, and 70-older. A champion is determined from each age group. However, we still have our traditional overall champion who wins a golf membership for the following season. To ensure all age groups compete at a level playing field the 50-54 and the 55-59 age groups play from the blue tees. Ages 60-64 and the 65-69 played from the white tees. While the 70-older age groups play from the gold tees.
2015's Senior Tournament is changing its format. We are going to use the Men's Tournament format, the field will be divided into flights NOT BY AGE, but by playing ability. For example we will have the Senior Championship Flight and 1st Flight playing from the white tees. While the 2nd Flight and 3rd Flight (depending on the amount of players) will play from the red tees. There will be Champions crowned in each flight, however the Overall Champion, which wins a season membership must play from the white tees.
Let's get the word out!
