Patty Jewett Golf Course, then known as Colorado Springs Golf Club, hosted the first CWGA championship 100 years ago this month — the CWGA Match Play.

Next week, the historic course will be the site of another CWGA championship, the 34th Senior Stroke Play.

When the tournament is held Monday and Tuesday (Sept. 26-27), a first-time champion is guaranteed to be crowned. No former winners of the Senior Stroke Play championship flight are entered this year — a rarity in CWGA events.

But among the dozen championship flight players entered is Colorado Golf Hall of Famer Janet Moore, a five-time winner of the CWGA Stroke Play who made it to the round of 64 earlier this week in the U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur. Also in the field is Deb Hughes, the 2014 CWGA Senior Match Play champ. Hughes and fellow Senior Stroke Play competitor Bev Hoffenberg joined Moore in playing in the U.S. Senior Women’s Am.

Overall, 76 players are entered in the CWGA Senior Stroke Play, with competition set for five different flights.
