First played in 1962, the NCGA Senior Championship is the association’s premier event for players aged 55 and over. More than 150 players at multiple sites around the region attempt to qualify for the championship each year. Traditionally, the final field plays 36 holes of stroke play at a different venue each year; however, beginning in 2009 the tournament will be played annually at Spyglass Hill.
The championship kicks off the annual points race which determines the NCGA Player-of-the-Year award. The tournament record was set in 2008 by Jeff Burda who beat the previous record by five strokes with a 135 at Saddle Creek GC. Jim McMurtrey has won the championship a record five times (1990, 1992, 1994, 1995 and 2000). The championship also includes a Super-Seniors division, for golfers aged 65 and older.
