Question About Club and Senior Club Championships Run Concurrently

[Jill Blurton-Jones]

How do you decide who wins the Senior Club Championship in stroke play when combined with Club Championship? Senior Championship is 2 days (Tues & Thurs) and Club Championship is 3 days in a row (Tues, Wed, Thurs). Can a Senior play and win both, or how does one determine the Senior winner?

At our club, they are on different weekends and play from different tees.  Not sure the logistics of playing both the same time, maybe it’s just to save another weekend for normal play.  But I would guess that the senior champion could win both, if they are the low scorer after 2 days for the senior play and after 3 days for the championship play.

I don't think there's anything in the Rules of Golf to prohibit this, although I don't think its very common.  Like @jsgolfer, my club runs these events on separate weekends, and actually uses match play for the overall championship, and 36-hole stroke play for the Senior champ.  We also use the back tees for the regular, and the normal men's tees for the seniors.  But as long as you're doing stroke play for both, and using the same tees for both, I don't see any reason you can't do as you've outlined.  And I see no reason why a single individual can't win both championships, the Tuesday and Thursday rounds could count for both competitions.

Our Club Championship is done over 3 days. Courses 2,4 and 5. The Club Champion come from the “Open Division”.  There is a Senior Division and Super Senior Division. All Divisions are played from the different tees (Blue, White and Green).  The Club Champion is from the Open Division.

Since our club is in a 55+ senior community, our TRUE club champ, plays from the black tees. We also have a gold tee champ, and a green tee champ, and of course the ladies champ. Everyone that participates has to play all 3 days.
