It takes much effort to get things ready for a big tournament like the Seniors Championship. "Without the help of our volunteers, running this championship would not be possible," said Director Jeromy Manser. For now, Manser is working hard to get things in Colorado ready to go. Looking from the summit down upon the links, soon to be filled with some of the best golfers in the world, one expects the same longevity out of this pedigree-seeking golf course as we now obtain from having followed the careers of the old men who will soon grace this field.
