The Senior Men’s Golf League, or as it’s fondly referred to, 'Geezer's Golf ', plays every Wednesday morning in the golf season (view the schedule below). The season usually starts in mid-April and finishes in mid-November, with the weather and course conditions permitting.

The Senior Men’s Golf League is informal, with no committees and no officers, just a sociable group who enjoy a little competition on the golf course. We have players with handicaps ranging from 7 to 34, and we welcome all players. Ages run from the 60’s to the 80’s, but so far no age discrimination. We keep track of handicaps, and make up teams that are fair and competitive. (See Geezer's handicap chart below.)

The players who show up, out of our current pool of about 35, ante $5 into the prize money pot. The entire pot is awarded to the day's top finishers. We play various formats of golf: individual gross/net, scrambles, two and four man best ball, and other fun formats.

Seniors who are interested can contact Ed Kujalowicz, Head Pro at the Springs Ranch Golf Club, or just show up any Wednesday between April and November. There is no annual fee to join. The early season tee times start at 9 am, with mid-season (summer) starting at 8 am. Come out and join in the fun and sociable golf. We welcome all newcomers.

In honor of Smitty – one of our group and the starter for Springs Ranch who passed away this year, the smokers puffed on cigars and enjoyed a great day of golf in 60 degree weather, the day before our October ’06 blizzard.

Some of the items discussed for the 2007 season at a meeting after the tournament:

· A light banquet after the tournament

· Use of the Green teas – age brackets

· If different #’s on teams for team games, rotate by hole the extra person shot or if fewer, an extra shot rotated through the team.

· Bill Rosing mentioned the Coal Miner’s Open in Walsenburg needs players in 2007.

The Smitty Tournament is the last event of 2006 for the formal schedule of Wednesday Geezer Golf. As usual, there is a core group that plays on Wednesdays, throughout the winter, weather permitting, with informal games. All are welcome, and bring a new player if you know of one or two or -----------.

Hope everyone enjoyed this year and come again in 2007.

Bill Robinson
