The 2021 SSGA Annual Championships featured 160 member golfers from all over the US (our modern, expanded version of "Southern Seniors"). Members competed in the Senior Division, Grand Senior Division and Ladies Championships on the three championship courses at the Sea Island Resort in Georgia.

The Championship Flight in the 91st Annual Southern Seniors Championship was contested as individual match play at scratch. The title of "2021 SSGA Champion" was earned by Keith Hensel from Lakeland, FL.  Bob Wharen from Ponte Vedra Beach, FL was runner-up and John Green (Boynton Beach, FL ) and Jom Cooper, (Kingsport, TN) were semi-finalists.

All flights other than Championship Flight in each division competed in the traditional match play NET scoring format with Flight Champions, runners-up and consolation winners recognized. Several new friendships were created even when not recognized with trophies!
