The 21st Callaway Metropolitan Golf Association’s (MGA) Senior Open Championship will be played at Forsgate Country Club on Aug. 28 and 29.
The tournament will be played on the Banks Course at Forsgate, which is located in Monroe.
The tournament, which will be stroke play and held over 36 holes, is open to area PGA professionals, assistant professionals and amateurs with a handicap of 4.5 or less who are age 50 and older, according to a press release from the MGA.
