So far, Kent Moore has really taken a liking to CGA super-senior championships.
What’s not to like?
He’s competed in two — the 2016 CGA Super-Senior Stroke Play and the 2017 Super-Senior Match Play — and has won them both.
The Colorado Golf Hall of Famer will try to make it 3-for-3 this week when the sixth CGA Super-Senior Stroke Play is contested, with Buffalo Run Golf Course in Commerce City hosting. The 36-hole scratch event, which features separate competitions for players 61 and older and those 71 and older, will run Tuesday and Wednesday (Aug. 22-23).
(FYI: Starting in 2017, the age requirement for each CGA super-senior championship will go up by one year each year through 2021, when no one younger than 65 will be allowed to compete.)
Moore (pictured), who plays out of Cherry Hills Country Club, is among 65 players who will tee it up at Buffalo Run. He’s one of four champions of the younger division at this event entered this week, joining three-time CGA Senior Player of the Year Robert Polk of Colorado Golf Club (2015 winner), Kary Kaltenbacher of Glenmoor Country Club (2014) and Bob Cloud of CommonGround Golf Course (2013).
Among the others scheduled to compete this week are Jeff English of CommonGround and Steve Scheffel of Ptarmigan Country Club — the top two finishers in the 2016 Super-Senior Match Play; 2017 SS Match Play runner-up Jim Reynolds of Bear Creek Golf Club; 2011 and ’13 CGA Senior Player of the Year Harry Johnson of Eagle Ranch Golf Course; 2016 Senior POY Robin Bradbury of Walnut Creek Golf Preserve, and 2016 SS Stroke Play runner-up Sean Forey of The Club at Rolling Hills.
Don Alley of Antler Creek Golf Course, winner of the 70+ tournament last year, will be back to defend that title.
