Joyer says the standard of the sport has evolved, so the competition this year will be intense.

“Last time I was here, I lost in the playoffs to Brad Burnes, so hopefully we can have a good week again and it is a very good field this seniors, there is over 50 pros coming. Peter Senior is coming, Andrea Stalls, and Brad Burnes, Tim Elliot. There is a lot of pretty good players so the legends is very good on the legends tour.”

These golfers will be competing for a prize of $100,000.
