MEN’S 18 HOLE LEAGUE

The Cross Creek Men’s 18 Hole League invites new and former members to join and play each in a shotgun format each Friday morning at 8 a.m. The league runs from November through April. There are also a number of events members can play in divisions based upon their handicap:

The Match Play Tournament was held in early January.

The next event is a newly named David Lander Memorial Member-Member Tournament, a two-day event starting on February 13. The league board recently announced this event honoring Dave, who was a seven-time winner of the men’s championship, a past board member, a person who epitomized how golf should be played and a friend to all.

On February 14 the 18 Hole Men’s League will host the annual “Ryder Cup” play against the Del Tura Country Club. The Ryder Cup offers several challenges including best ball, and alternate play in a match play format. Members may join the Cross Creek team through qualifying play.

On March 17 the Men’s Golf Championship starts. Flights are available for all members regardless of their handicap. The winner of the first flight from the No. 2 tees becomes the men’s champion. The two- day play is followed with a luncheon where winners are announced.

The weekly Friday play rotates between scrambles, best ball of two, three or four. On the first Friday each month the league meets for lunch to discuss their golf games, and talk about league, and golf rules.

If a member of the league gets a hole-in-one, the member is awarded $50. Recently the board announced the start of an additional hole-in-one incentive. Members can contribute $5 to a pot. The next hole-in-one can win all the money in it.
