But for the first time in the history of the Chattanooga Men’s Metro Championship, golfers in the senior division will play from a forward teeing ground.

The 84th version of the Metro will begin Thursday at Lookout Mountain Golf and Country Club. Polly Boyd won the first incarnation of the tournament in 1929 and finished his career with six championships.
