Crompton and Royton's Michael Melling will be making a comeback to competitive golf at the PGA Super 60s later this month, 10 years after making his last appearance.
The 60-year-old has decided to return to competition at Forest Pines on August 27 and admits he does not know what to expect.
"I have not played a competitive round of golf for a decade now," said Melling.
"I've just been getting on with other things in my life really and mainly doing teaching. I used to play in competitions but then I just stopped.
"It was more to do with circumstances than anything else. I am attached to the Crompton and Royton in Lancashire even though I live in Barnsley in Yorkshire, so I'm not allowed to play in any of Yorkshire's regional pro-ams and events.
"We'll just have to see how it goes. I've got no idea how I'll get on."
Although he and partner Philip Wardle do not want to set any goals for the tournament, Melling believes it is a fairly level playing field.
"I just fancied giving it a go," he said. "We'll be competing against people of the same age and skill level so we've got as good a chance as anyone else and we'll just have to see."
Another north region representative is Stockport's Michael Peel, who hopes his long-term playing partnership with Alan Clough will make up for his recent lack of form.
Peel said: "I'm playing with Alan Clough who has been a friend of mine for 44 years. We know each other very well and have been playing together a very long time.
"We first played together in 1964 when I was an assistant and he was the pro and we've played together ever since. I imagine we'll keep on playing until one of us isn't here anymore.
"I haven't been playing well for a few months now. Hopefully it will change in the Super 60s."
Peel admits he has put in extra time working on his game but it is not paying dividends on the course.
"It's not just one thing going wrong either, it's everything," he added. "And the annoying thing is that I'm hitting it well when I practise but when I'm out on the course playing I can't seem to put a score together at all.
"But the Super 60s is a different type of game and with any luck I'll be able to put in a good performance there."
