Rich River Classic
The Rich River Classic was a golf tournament held in Australia in 1986 and 1987 at Rich River Golf Club, Moama, NSW. The event was played concurrently with the Australian PGA Seniors' Championship.[1] The event was discontinued after the ESP Open was allocated the dates on the professional tournament calendar in 1988, and a new tournament for trainees was created to play alongside the seniors championship.[2]
