2012 Leagues, Other Events and Rules

Men's League

Let us know way before 1 May if you want to play in the league. You do NOT have to be a club member, but should have an established handicap either from last year's league or a GHIN card. This year, we will pick the team captains and they will pick the members for their teams. Or, at least we'll try to do it that way. Cost to join is $25. Substitutes are welcome and will not be charged the $25 fee. Season starts 15 May and runs through August. Matches will take place on Tuesday afternoons. There will be two Tuesdays when the teams will play a team scramble. Contact us for more information.

Ladies' League

They will begin when they want to and unlike the men, are capable of running the whole league without our help. They do have a lot of fun. There will be a banquet at the end of the year that, we hear, usually requires an increased police presence for that evening in the town where the banquet takes place. Let us know if you are interested in joining the Ladies League (ladies only) and we'll pass the info along to the proper authorities. They play Wednesday afternoons. You do NOT have to be a club member to participate.

Couples' League

This League plays on Thursday afternoons, teeing off around 4pm. Cost is $2 per couple. You do NOT have to be a club member. We tell them what the game is and off they go. The league begins usually around mid-May, or earlier if enough couples show up and ends in October.

Friday Evening Scramble

This probably will start on 4 May. At 5pm we pick the captains and they pick their teammates for the scramble. You do NOT have to be a club member to participate. Cost is $5 plus a $10 greens fee if not a member. Cart costs are extra should you want a driving car. In mid-August the scramble moves to Saturdays at 3pm. This year we may also have prizes for the lowest score that a team should have had, as we were recently given a supply of crying towels.

President's Cup

This requires club membership and a GHIN handicap, or a men's league generated handicap. Match play starts around 1 August, so try to sign up by mid July. Cost is $5. Last years winners were Sharon Roy and Ken Carlson.

Club Championships

Again, this requires club membership, but no handicaps are used. Cost is $5. Juniors play on 4 August, Ladies on 11 August and Men on 18 and 19 August. Last years winners were Billy Rollins (Jr)and Cody Rizzo(Jr, Jr), Charlotte Hall and Isabel Waterhouse (Sr), Buddy Rollins and Lefty McAuslin (Sr). Please sign up by 1 August.

Night Golf Tournaments

We will try to have two tournaments, on 27 July and 24 August. We'll supply the glow balls, food and drink. $25 per person. No driving carts. It is a unique experience and there are no mosquitoes allowed, so try to get a foursome together for some healthy night exercise. Sign up by the beginning of the respective month.

Steve's 30th Annual Charity Tournament

Scheduled for 15 September (16th rain date). Lots of food and prizes, including a hole in one contest and a putting contest. We'll have morning and afternoon groups, probably 16 foursomes in each group. $40 per person, carts extra. First dibs to those who played last year and please pay when you sign up. We raised over $8300 last year, which went to several local charities serving Maine citizens as well as dogs and cats.

Member-Guest Tournament

Late June or early July on a Friday morning. Always enjoyable with good food and prizes.

Fuel Assistance Tournament

This will be held on Saturday, 6 Oct. All greens fees and sponsor fees will go to the towns of Monmouth and Litchfield to help citizens heat their homes next winter. All the money from Monmouth golf participants and Monmouth businesses goes to Monmouth and all money from Litchfield participants and businesses goes to Litchfield. It's a contest within a contest. Raised over $3000 last year, mostly due to Herb Whittier's arm twisting.

Members Team Match Against Freeport Country Club

Unless they were scared off by the utter and complete whomping we gave them last year, Freeport should be hosting our members in a team match in June on a Sunday morning. More info after we get ahold of Jordan at Freeport. We may host them in August.

WMSGA Tournament

This will be on 5 June, so the course will be closed that morning. Some of our ladies will be playing in it, if you want to cheer them on.
