WGANC Legacy Swingin’ Seniors | Oakhurst & Discovery Bay | August 3-4, 2021
The WGANC Age Tournaments have had many names throughout the years. Before 1953, it was called the Seniors & Grandmothers Tournament, but it was changed to the Seniors Tournament in 1953 (ages 50 and over). In 1970 another age tournament was added, called Nifty-Fifties (50-59) and the Seniors Tournament was now 60 and over. Due to the oversubscription of the Nifty-Fifties and the Seniors Tournament, more age groups were added in 1977: Junior-Senior (ages 50-55), Mid-Seniors (ages 56-62), Seniors (ages 63 and over).
In 1983, a new age group was added – 49ers (ages 18-49)
In 1997, the Super Seniors Tournament was added (ages 72 and over)
In 2000, the age tournaments were reorganized again and the tournament for players 70 years old and up was named Swingin’ Seniors.
