With the emphasis on lower handicapped seniors,
the
SCGA was allowed more freedom to move the Senior
Four Ball across the State and the ability set up
more
challenging venues for the players looking for
stronger competition. Not to cut all players out of
the
opportunity to win something, the SCGA flights the
