Nearly 150 senior golfers participate in Senior Open

The weather conditions were favorable – winds at 5-10 mph, and temps in the low 80's – so the Senior Tournament was on June 13 as golfers from all points of the compass converged on The Bluffs.

From Omaha to Huron and western Iowa to central South Dakota, and several towns in between, enthusiasts of the game came as a contingent of senior golfers.

Flighted by age only, groups of 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-75, and 76+ were assigned and then flighted after the final scores were recorded.

After the 18-hole tourney was completed, there was a buffet luncheon while the pro shop workers awarded Bluffs prize certificates for the winners, determined by the results, which follow. Note: ties for place determination was the scorecard handicap hole routine.
