Farmington native Evolyn Morrison, a member of the Maine Golf Hall of Fame, founded the Sugarloaf Seniors Invitational 14 years ago. Morrison felt that the newly developed Sugarloaf Golf Course provided a true test of a golfer s ability, and decided that women over 50 years old needed a tournament on such a course. In fourteen years the field has grown to 65 competitors from the original thirteen.
Women travel from all over New England to compete in the tournament.
The tournament will consist of two rounds of stroke play. Awards will be presented for lowest gross and lowest net combined scores. The 1999 Champion, Marilyn Blackburn from the Brunswick Country Club in Maine, will be returning to defend her title. There will be banquets held on Wednesday and Thursday nights at the Sugarloaf Inn. Golf Association Championship Tournament will return to challenge the course.
