FORMAT: The RDGA Wilson Fitch Senior Championship features 36 holes of scratch stroke play competition over two days. The format features competition in four age-based divisions: Senior (ages 55-59), Super Senior (ages 60-64), Masters (ages 65-69) and Legends (ages 70 and over), as well as the overall Championship, which is determined as the low 36-hole scorer from among the Senior, Super Senior and Masters divisions. The Senior, Super Senior and Masters divisions all play from the Stafford Men's BLUE Tees (6,328 yards) and the Legends division plays from the Stafford Men's WHITE Tees (5,865 yards).
Round 1 pairings and start times will be made according to division; Round 2 pairings will be made based on order of Round 1 finish for the combined Senior, Super Senior and Masters divisions - and separately for the Legends division. Ties for first place after 36 holes in the combined Senior, Super Senior and Masters divisions will result in a sudden death playoff to determine the overall RDGA Senior Champion.
ABOUT: The RDGA Wilson Fitch Senior Championship is one of the longest-running annual championships on the RDGA calendar and is being renamed this year in honor of past RDGA President and long-time Rules official and volunteer Wilson Fitch, who recently retired from the RDGA Board of Directors after more than 25 years of service. Entries are open to all amateur male golfers age 55 and over (as of the beginning of each year's tournament). Lunch will be provided, free of charge, to contestants on both days.
The top 5 finishers (plus ties) in the overall Senior Championship
PLUS the winners of each Senior Flight all receive exemptions into the
