Local golfer Gary Hucker's dream of an Upstate Senior Championship now a reality.... Gary Hucker has thought about it for a long time. He first contacted Greenville County Golf Association Director Robbie Gravley three years ago about reviving the County Senior Amateur tournament. Gravley was quick to say he'd love to have a senior championship, but that for a variety of reasons, interest had waned and the last two County Senior events had drawn small numbers. But Hucker persisted. "What are the reasons?" Gravley pointed out the large number of senior tournaments. He talked about the lack of a long standing tradition of the event, and finally talked about cost. Most seniors can play for very low dollars in their weekday events, but when you book a course on the weekend, the entry fee skyrockets and many seniors either can't afford it, or don't want to tie up a weekend. But still, Hucker persisted. "Well, let's fix some of that." Hucker encouraged Gravley to start a tradition with a new tournament, open to all Upstate seniors. He suggested a Friday-Saturday or a weekday event. And his company would help out with sponsorship money to fund the prizes until that "tradition" took over to make the tournament a "must play" event for Upstate seniors. Gravley said, "O.K. let's go for it." He contacted Greer Country Club Head Pro Ryan Lucas, who jumped on the idea. Lucas had thought for a long time that an Upstate senior tournament would be a hit. He negotiated a fair deal for the County Golf Association and volunteered himself & the Greer Country Club staff to help run the event. He even helped name the tournament, the Upstate Senior Classic. Lucas & Gravley decided that if the first year drew 50+ players, it would be a success. So far, Upstate seniors have blown right past that number, with 80 players set to tee off on Tuesday at Greer Country Club beginning at 9:00 AM. The 36 hole stroke play tournament will be flighted after the first round, and on Wednesday, the first Upstate Senior Classic champion will be crowned. Besides Hucker, other notables in the field are Bobby Hines, a two time Greenville County Am winner, Doug Brown, who holds the member course record at Greer with a 63, and former Upstate Mid-Amateur Champion Doug Tooke. "I am very excited that we got this thing off the ground, and very grateful to be able to help", said Hucker. "The guys that are running the tournament deserve a lot of credit. They put in the hours of work behind the scenes. I get to play golf!" So the new tradition begins Tuesday morning. | Membership Benefits | Join the Upstate Golf Club!! | Events Schedule | About Us & History | Allison Cup (Team Competition) | Upstate Senior / Mid-Am Championships | | Return Home | Greenville County Golf Association | Upstate Two Man Championships | Greenville County Amateur | Upstate Amateur Championship | The Cyder Cup Matches | Downloads & Applications | Contact Us | |
