‘Super Senior’ tourney a week away

With just eight days until the opening round of the Green Valley Super Senior Golf Tournament, only a dozen spots remain open before the tournament organizers close the registration period.

“We’ve been urging all interested competitors to register early due to the limited number of entries,” said tournament organizer Dave Shannahan.

Last year, the tournament brought together dozens of the area’s finest golfers age 65 and over for three days and 54 holes worth of top-notch golf.

Hal Aden, Earl Gray, Joe Grau, John Bridgewater, Jim Garland and Joe Kreitzman joined Shannahan for this year’s tournament committee.

This year’s event will kick off July 9 at Desert Hills, with the second day of competition taking place July 11 at Torres Blancas.

The Country Club of Green Valley will host the final round July 13.

Each day will begin with a 7:30 a.m. shotgun start.

The tournament will follow a stroke play format, with two gross and four net champions being named in each of the four age groups.

The $90 entry fee includes the greens fee, cart, hors d’oeurves after the second round and the awards banquet after the final round.

Over $2,000 in prizes will be given away, including a possible new car for any golfer skilled enough to knock in a hole in one.

Entry applications will be available at all participating golf courses.
