Seniors Golf

May 5th, 2001 - Seniors Zone II Report
Osoyoos Golf and Country Club

The first Senior's tournament in the Okanagan Valley was held at the Osoyoos Golf and Country Club on Friday,May 5th. This golf course is a 27 hole layout consisting of three, nine hole tracks called the PARK, MEADOWS, and DESSERT. In all Senior tournaments the participants use the white "T" blocks and in the case of this tournament the Park and Meadows course were combined to give the golfer's a challenging distance of just under 6000 yards. The course was in great shape and the two new green's opened this year proved to be a real test for the putting talents of the golfer's.
