Program Information
Central Links Golf is pleased to conduct its 30th season of a statewide senior age group competition schedule under the auspices of the Kansas Senior Series in 2026.
By first becoming a member of the Senior Series through the payment of a $70 annual membership dues, you will be eligible to enter as many of the one-day tournaments as you choose. In addition to the chance to winning gift certificates, participants may qualify for the 2026 Senior Series Championship at Crestview Country Club (Wichita, KS) on September 28-29, 2026. The top fourteen male finishers at the Senior Series Championship (six gross, five net, two gross captain’s pick and one net captains’ pick) will be selected to the Kansas Senior Team for the Ozark Senior Challenge, a team event with the Missouri Golf Association to be held at Dalhousie Golf Club (Cape Girardeau, MO) on October 18-20, 2026. A Super Senior Team that will play a similar team from the Missouri Golf Association to be held at Dalhousie Golf Club (Cape Girardeau, MO) on October 18-20, 2026. This fourteen member male team (six gross, five net, two gross captain’s pick and one net captains’ pick) will also be selected at the Senior Series Championship from male players age 65 or older.
Each Senior Series entry will cover your green fee, golf cart, range balls and a chance to win gift certificates (either gross or net). Points earned to qualify for the Senior Series Championship will be awarded by age division.
Eligibility
- Open to male senior golfers who have reached their 50th birthday on or before the date of any Senior Series event. Your age on the day of any event determines the age division for earning Senior Series Championship points. It is therefore possible that one player could compete within two different age divisions over the course of the season event schedule.
- Must have an active USGA GHIN Handicap through a Central Links Golf member club or eClub. Note: GHIN Handicap is NOT included as part of the annual Senior Series program membership fee.
- There is no maximum age or handicap index requirement.
Membership & Entry Fees
Membership in the Senior Series is $70 per year. Membership dues must be paid prior to entering online for tournaments. Click here to pay your membership dues.
Each Senior Series entry fee covers green fee, golf cart, range balls and a chance to win gift certificates that are redeemable for merchandise or services at the host club. Practice rounds are not included as part of the entry fee and are available at the discretion of the host club.
Entry Lottery System
All Senior Series event entries received between 10:00 am on March 3rd and 12:00 pm on March 4th will be placed in “pending status”. Beginning at 12:00 pm on March 4th, all entries received for the first 12 events (events from March to end of June) will be randomly added to each event using the “lottery” method in our tournament software. Priority will be given to players that submit entries into both events that are played on back-to-back days. All entries received after 12:00 pm on March 4th will then be added to the first 12 events on the schedule on a first come, first serve basis. If an event becomes full after this time, entries will be added to a waitlist based upon entry order.
Entries received for the last 11 events of the Senior Series schedule that are played from July to September will be placed in “pending status” as well. We will begin the lottery process for those 11 events at 12:00 pm on June 8th. Priority will again be given to players that submit entries into both events that are played in back-to-back days.
This entry procedure was implemented in 2024 to provide an equitable opportunity for all potential event entrants to have a chance to participate in these popular events. This will eliminate the race to enter at the exact moment entries open and navigate the entry system issues that have occurred in the past couple years with growing popularity of the Senior Series events.
Terms of Competition
- Competition for Senior Series Championship points will be conducted in five men’s age divisions: 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70 & older. All age divisions will play 18-holes. Competition is both gross and net scoring.
- The entire field will compete for both gross and net gift certificates in two men’s age divisions (50-64, 65 & older). The amount of which shall be based on the number of players in each age division. Players can win only one (1) gift certificate (gross or net) per event.
- Scores from each Senior Series event will be posted to the GHIN handicap system using ESC.
- For most events, two sets of tee will be used for each Senior Series event for men. The 50-64 age divisions will play a longer set of tees then the 65 & Older age divisions.
- The maximum gross score a player can record on any hole is a nine (9) strokes.
Series Event Point System
The following point system applies to qualifying for the season ending Senior Series Championship only. The points are earned at each of the series events. (The points do not apply to the “Senior Player of the Year” points list).
| Within Your Age Division (gross & net) | |
| First place | 7 points |
| Second place | 5 points |
| Third place | 4 points |
| Fourth place | 3 points |
| Fifth place | 2 points |
| Participation | 1 point |
Note: These points are awarded at each series event. In the case of ties, the same number of points are awarded to each player tied for that place. However, since a player may receive only one gift certificate (either gross or net, whichever is greater), it is possible that a player could receive “series points” but not win a gift certificate, and vice versa.
Senior Series Championship Qualification
Qualifying members must have played in at least five (5) regular season Senior Series events to be eligible for invitation for the season ending Senior Series Championship. Additionally, any player that wins a regular season Senior Series event (i.e. low overall gross player or low overall net player in the two age divisions (50 to 64, 65 & Over) will automatically be invited to participate in the Senior Series Championship assuming that player meets the five event minimum participation requirement.
At the Senior Series Championship, all contestants will play 36-holes of stroke play. New in 2026 at the Senior Series Championship, players will declare if they are playing for gross scoring OR net scoring. This declaration applies to gift certificate payout at the Senior Series Championship AND qualifying for the Senior Cup Team competitions that follow the Senior Series Championship.
Updated for 2025: All members tied for the final qualifying spot within their age group, either gross or net, will qualify for invitation to the Senior Series Championship. No tie-breaking procedure will be applied. The number of players that qualify for invitation to the Senior Series Championship will be based on a pro rata percentage basis. The minimum number of qualifiers from each of the five age divisions will be 15. That number could increase within each age division based on number of players in that age division compared to the overall number of total members in the Senior Series program. The number of qualifiers for the Senior Series Championship from each age divisions will be as follows:
Age 50-54 minimum top 15 members, gross and net
Age 55-59 minimum top 15 members, gross and net
Age 60-64 minimum top 15 members, gross and net
Age 65-69 minimum top 15 members, gross and net
Age 70 + minimum top 15 members, gross and net
Senior Cup Team Qualifying
The top six (6) gross, top five (5) net, two (2) gross captains’ pick and one (1) net captains’ pick who are age 50-64 from the field of the Senior Series Championship will be named to the Kansas Senior Team for the Ozark Senior Challenge. Only those participating in the Senior Series Championship will be named to the Kansas Senior Team.
The top six (6) gross, top five (5) net, two (2) gross captains’ pick and one (1) net captains’ pick who are at least 65 years of age from the field of the Senior Series Championship will be named to the Kansas Association Senior Cup Team. Only those participating in the Senior Series Championship will be named to the Kansas Association Senior Cup Team.
The 2026 Senior Cup Team competitions will be hosted by the Missouri Golf Association and will held at Dalhousie Golf Club (Cape Girardeau, MO) on October 18-20, 2026
