Aug 19, 2022 | 3:19 PM

Red Deer Golf & Country Club is hosting the 2022 Canadian Men’s Senior Championship September 5-9, 2022.

Conducted since 1962, the Canadian Men’s Senior Championship has grown to become one of the most popular amateur golf events in Canada.

In 1995, the 70 and over Canadian Super Senior division was introduced in addition to the existing 55 and over age group.

Calgary’s Bob Wylie has captured seven John Rankin Memorial Trophies since 1985. Nick Weslock, one of Canada’s greatest amateurs of the century, won the event six times between 1973 and 1983. Ray Reid of Edmonton claimed a place in Canada’s golf history by winning the inaugural Super Senior Championship and having his name as the first to be engraved on the Governor’s Cup in 1995.

Graham Cooke is a four-time winner of this event and is the winningest amateur champion in Canada; his resume also includes seven mid-amateur titles. In 2010, Paul Simson made history by becoming the first person to win the British, U.S. and Canadian senior titles in the same year.
