ALL roads will lead to Cobar on the Anzac Day weekend for the inaugural Australian Seniors Sand Green Championship to be played from April 26-28.
The professional tournament will be played over 54-holes in a Pro-Am format, giving amateurs the opportunity to play with a senior pro over the first two days.
