  • Women use the same Forward Tee as men
  • Regular course maintained tees (no mixed or combo tees)
  • All par 3 holes will be included in CTP prizes

Maximum Score to record for every hole is “QUAD Bogey” or 4 strokes over par (7 on a par 3, 8 on a par 4 and 9 on a par 5)

  • Added Cardinal Creek, eliminated Sugar Creek

Events Calendar – 2023 Season

by

All regular scheduled events for the 2023 season are loaded onto the Events Calendar.

The Events Calendar menu tab will get you directly to the calendar page. You can view the calendar by Month, Day or List. Simply select the view you want in the top line (right side).

You can also search for events by typing in a few letters of interest and selecting search. Most events have a “keywork” for search. For example, searching for D1 will show only Division 1 events. D2, D3, D4, D5 will work on the other weekly divisions. MP will find Metro Plus events. “Special” will find all Special Events,

You can also search for specific courses by name.

You can also download the events information to your own personal calendar,

Detailed instructions for getting our calendar into your calendar – CLICK HERE.

These instructions are also in the page menu tab – dropdown under the Events tab.

Golf League US also has the schedule information. This is the system we use for tee times, scoring, and handicaps. You (or someone in your tee group) MUST use Golf League US to schedule your tee times for each event.

We have a great season lined up. Make sure your calendar is set with Metro Seniors as a priority.

User Manual for Golf League US

by

We know that most MS players enjoyed navigating to OGS (Our Golf Stats – ourgolfstats.com) last year to check how we did against all the other duffers out there in the rain this morning!  You also may have heard there is a new software package that will be used this season to schedule tee times, collect scores, calculate handicaps, and keep track of prize money.  That software is GolfLeague.US and it has been beta tested in parts of Metro Seniors for a year, and longer for the Metro Plus division.  Here is a link to help you navigate and use the software.
