Two members of the CGA’s volunteer Board of Governors — Gary Albrecht of CommonGround Golf Course and defending champion Kent Moore of Cherry Hills Country Club — find themselves atop the leaderboard after Tuesday’s first round of the CGA Super-Senior Stroke Play Championship at Buffalo Run Golf Course in Commerce City.
Albrecht (pictured), who qualified for the U.S. Senior Amateur last year, shot a 2-under-par 70 to grab a one-stroke lead at the halfway point of the 61-and-older division. He made four birdies and two bogeys, and played his final three holes in 2 under par.
Moore, a Colorado Golf Hall of Famer seeking to win his third consecutive CGA super-senior individual championship, opened with a 71, making four birdies on the day. He shares second place with Sean Forey of The Club at Rolling Hills, who placed second to Moore in this tournament last year. Forey carded three birdies and bogeys on Tuesday.
Daniel Dymerski of Columbine Country Club sits in fourth place, two back of Albrecht. Dymerski posted a birdie, a bogey and 16 pars on Tuesday.
(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.)
Meanwhile, in the 71-and-older division, Bob Sims of Clubcorp Colorado grabbed a three-stroke lead, Sims, winner of the CGA Super-Senior Match Play in 2012, fired a 2-under-par 70 on Tuesday, when he made four birdies.
Defending champion Don Alley of Antler Creek Golf Course and Jim Hotchkiss of Lakewood Country Club share second place in the older division at 73.
The final round for both divisions will take place on Wednesday. The 71-and-older leaders will tee off at 8:21 a.m., with the top threesome from the 61-and-older division starting at 8:30 a.m.
