Senior Men's Golf League

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

The Senior Men’s Golf League is an informal group with no committees and no officers, just a group who enjoys a little completion on the golf course.  We have players with handicaps from 10 to 32 and we welcome all players.  Ages run from the 60’s to the low 80’s, but so far no age discrimination.   We use handicaps to make the teams fair and competitive.

The players who show up, out of our current pool of about 20, throw $5 in the pot and we play various formats of golf; such as gross/net, scrambles, two man best ball, four man best ball and occasional diversions from the norm.

Senior’s who are interested can contact Ed Kujalowicz, Head Pro at Springs Ranch Golf Club, or just come out any Wednesday between April and November.  The early season starts at 9 am, with mid season (summer) starting at 7am.  Come on out and join in for some fun and good 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
