2021 Men’s Senior Player of the Year

The 2021 RDGA Senior Player of the Year: Ron Plummer

                     Ron Plummer

The Rochester District Golf Association began its Senior Player of the Year Award in 2018 as a way of honoring the most consistent championship-level men’s senior player of the season.

Designed to recognize and celebrate consistent excellence in the game of golf over the course of a single season, the RDGA Senior Player of the Year is recognized annually. This recognition is open to all male golfers, ages 55 and above, in the RDGA and is based on gross score results only. To be considered for the RDGA Senior Player of the Year award, golfers must play in at least one RDGA event during the current season.

Earning 2021 RDGA Senior Player of the Year honors – for the first time – is Ron Plummer of Ridgemont Country Club, on the strength of his RDGA Senior Match Play Championship title and his runner-up finish in the RDGA Wilson Fitch Senior Championship. In fact, Plummer narrowly defeated Rich Luther of Stafford in the Championship match of the RDGA Senior Match Play Championship, in what might have been the deciding factor in the 2021 points race.

Following a year’s hiatus due to COVID, season-long point standings to determine the RDGA Men’s Senior Player of the Year award were re-introduced in 2021. In addition to Player of the Year, the top-32 point winners for the 2021 season also earn invitations to the 2022 RDGA Men’s Senior Match Play Championship and the top-10 point winners (and ties) earn exemptions into the 2022 RDGA District Championship John H. Ryan Jr. Memorial.
