2024 Men’s Super Senior Player of the Year

The 2024 RDGA Super Senior Player of the Year: Jim Burns

Jim Burns

The newest entry among the annual Rochester District Golf Association Player of the Year Awards began earlier this year, with the creation of the RDGA Super Senior Player of the Year Award.

Designed to recognize and celebrate consistent excellence in the game of golf over the course of a single season, the RDGA Super Senior Player of the Year will be recognized annually, open to all male golfers, ages 65 and above, based on gross score results only. To be considered for the RDGA Super Senior Player of the Year award, golfers must play a minimum of 5 events on the published Points schedule with an additional requirement that 3 of those events must be RDGA events.

Winning the 2024 RDGA Men’s Super Senior Player of the Year Award was Jim Burns of Canandaigua Country Club, who earned his second Super Senior Player of the Year honors in as many years of the category, finishing 142.5 points ahead of Ravenwood’s Mark Battle.

Burns won two RDGA Two Person Senior Division titles in 2024, as well as claiming top-5 finishes in 5 events – including runner-up in the RDGA Super Senior Match Play Championship, 3rd in the RDGA Wilson Fitch Senior Championship and 3rd in the 2024 NYS Men’s Super Senior Amateur Four Ball Championship.
