The TGA’s 2025 men’s regional tournament series rolls on this spring with the playing of the North and South Regional Senior Amateurs. The championships will be held concurrently from March 31-April 1.

The North Regional Senior Amateur will be contested on Course No. 1 at Sherrill Park Golf Course in Richardson, while Northgate Country Club in Northgate Forest will welcome the South Regional Senior Amateur. This will be the first time hosting a TGA championship for both Sherrill Park and Northgate.

Originally designed by Leon Howard, Sherrill Park’s Course No. 1 opened in 1972. Weibring-Wolfard Golf Design oversaw a multimillion-dollar restoration of the course in 1997 and performed additional renovations in 2005. Northgate Country Club’s 18-hole championship course opened in 1983 and was designed by Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge.

First played in 2009, the Regional Senior Amateurs feature two age divisions: 55 and older (Senior) and 65 and older (Super Senior). Entries are open to male amateur golfers who meet the age requirements by the first round of tournament play, have an up-to-date WHS™ Handicap Index not exceeding 8.4 (10.0 for Super Senior) issued through a member club of the TGA, and reside in the region relative to their respective championship. The delineation between the North and South regions is the 31st parallel that passes through the city of Salado.

Both championships are conducted using the same competitive format. The starting field of 84 players (60 Seniors, 24 Super Seniors) will play 36 holes of individual stroke play over two days with no cut. Each age division will compete from different tees and yardages, with separate champions recognized. Players who are 65 and older can opt to compete in the Senior Division at the time an entry form is submitted.

The top 15 finishers and ties in the Senior Division, regardless of age, will earn exemptions into the 2025 Texas Senior Amateur to be held this fall at a site to be announced. In addition, the top five finishers and ties will earn performance points which will be applied to the yearlong Senior Player of the Year race.

Starting times and pairings for the first round of both championships will be posted on the TGA website no later than March 26. Live scoring updates and daily recaps will also be available online once the action gets underway from Sherrill Park Golf Course and Northgate Country Club.

Tom Takes of Weatherford won the Super Senior Division with a 7-over 147 total. Bobby Baugh of San Antonio posted a 36-hole total of 2-under 142 to win the South Regional Senior Amateur at Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort in Boerne. Brad Greebon of San Marcos finished at 3-over 147 to clinch the title in the Super Senior Division.
