THE MEN’S 18-HOLE GOLF LEAGUE WELCOMES NEW MEMBERS MARK WOODMAN, DON OTT, AND WALT WALLNER.
Although the league is now mid-season, it is not too late to join. For those new to the community, the league is a great way to meet neighbors while enjoying a round of golf.
The cost to join is $65 and includes enrollment in the GHIN golf handicap system. Stop by the Clubhouse to learn more. League play takes place every Friday with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. Players have been enjoying Florida’s weather, with cooler mornings that quickly become comfortable for golf.
The February golf schedule offers a different challenge each week to provide variety and a change of pace.
On February 6, the league will play a four-man scramble followed by the monthly luncheon. Members may choose from two luncheon options, each including a beverage.
The Second Annual Member–Member or Guest David Lander Memorial Golf Tournament will be held February 12–13. David is remembered as a golfer who epitomized sportsmanship and friendship. He served on the Men’s Board and was a seven-time Men’s Golf Champion. This two-day handicapped event costs $110 and includes donuts and coffee each day, a sleeve of golf balls, awards, and a luncheon on the final day. Day One will be played as best ball of two. Day Two will be a two-man scramble.
On February 20, sixteen league members will travel to Del Tura Country Club in North Fort Myers for the annual Ryder Cup–style challenge. Del Tura is a 55-plus manufactured home community featuring three nine-hole courses with a mix of par-three and par-four holes. The Men’s 18 looks to dethrone Del Tura this year after last year’s disappointing tie. Players are determined for a better result this year. This one-day event includes four-ball and two-ball best ball formats.
The February schedule concludes on February 27 with a best ball of four competition.
In addition to the cost of golf, members may contribute $5 per week for a chance to win closest-to-the-hole or a skin. For an additional $5, members may participate in the hole in one pot. If you make one, the pot is yours.
