The 54-hole stroke play championship is open to senior golfers age 55 & older and includes two age divisions. Beautifully laid out on gently rolling mesa above the village of La Jolla, this venerable par 72 golf course, perhaps best characterized for its Kikuyu fairway grass, uneven lies, and small fast greens, offers a fair and challenging test to golfers. Breathtaking views of the Pacific and gentle ocean breezes make a round of golf a memorable experience.

Rutgers student MacKenzie named Vickers scholar
Rutgers University student Christopher Tyler MacKenzie has been selected as the Vickers Scholarship winner among 14 students earning 2011-12 scholarships from the Trans-Mississippi Golf Association (TMGA) through its Turf Scholarship Fund. MacKenzie, 24, will receive a $7,500 scholarship as he completes his education in the Rutgers’ two-year Golf Course Management Program this month. He also receives the Vickers Trophy, a bronze sculpture of Old Tom Morris. “With two people close to me, my father and his assistant, both having won Trans-Miss scholarships, to join them with that — especially my dad — it’s kind of a legacy deal,” said MacKenzie of Forest Lake, Minn. “I didn’t know the (TMGA) has been around as long as it has. To know that I was awarded the top Trans-Miss scholarship, it’s an honor.” Click here to read the press release announcing the 2011-12 Trans-Miss Scholars.
