GORGE VALE GOLF CLUB SET TO HOST CANADIAN MEN’S SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Canada’s top senior amateur golfers are headed to Gorge Vale Golf Club from August 31 - September 4, 2009 to battle for the 48th Canadian Men’s Senior Championship title.
Conducted since 1962, the Canadian Men’s Senior Championship has grown to become one of the most popular amateur golf events in Canada featuring many of the country’s top senior golfers.
Looking to defend his senior title is seven-time Mid-Amateur and three -time Men’s Senior champion Graham Cooke of Hudson, Que. Other notables looking to claim top honours at Gorge Vale Golf Club include 2008 runner-up Patrick Tallent of Vienna, VA and former Canadian Mid-Amateur champion Frank Van Dornick of Camrose, Alta. Other past senior champions vying for the title include: Peter Howe of Crawford Bay, B.C. (2006); Robert Fugère of Gatineau, Que. (2005); Dave Webber of Dartmouth, N.S. (2004); André Gagné of Boischatel, Que. (2003) and George Stokes of New Hamburg, Ont. (1998).
Six local Victoria residents will also be looking to claim Canada’s national senior golf title including: Steve Hambleton; David Mears; David Mick; Noel Pumfrey; Robin Steffanick and Bob Thompson.
Canadian rock music icon and golf enthusiast Tom Cochrane will also be in Victoria to challenge for the title.
“We are very excited to bring the Canadian Men’s Senior Championship to Gorge Vale,” said Adam Helmer, RCGA tournament director. “The Canadian Senior is one of the most prestigious events of our championship season and the event is always a great finish to a very successful tournament year.”
The Canadian Senior Championship is open to male amateur golfers who have reached their 55th birthday by September 1, 2009, with the winner being awarded the John Rankin Memorial Trophy.
The Canadian Super Senior Championship, running concurrently over the first 36-holes, is open to male amateur golfers who have reached their 70th birthday by September 1, 2009, with the winner receiving the Governors Cup.
The event will also play host to the Senior Inter-provincial Team Championship, being held in conjunction with the first two rounds of championship play. Québec will be looking to defend their title as provincial champions, having won the team championship seven times prior.
After 36 holes the field will be reduced to the low 70 players and ties. The top three super seniors will be recognized following play on Wednesday, September 2, 2009. The Super Senior division will be contested over 36-holes.
Practice rounds will be held Monday, August 31. Championship play will be conducted Tuesday, September 1 through Friday, September 4, with 18 holes of stroke play each day.
