2023 Special Events

Special Events

We have a major change for signing up for Special Events this year.  We will no longer signup for all events at the same time.  We will signup for each event individually 30 days prior to the event.

We hope this change will reduce the number of cancellations.  Hard to remember if you signed up for an event in March when the event date is in August.

Signup will open up for each event at 6 pm 30 days prior to the event.  See the Special Events schedule for the signup date for each event.  The schedule is in your GLUS Division Documents folder. Or click here.

The first Special Event will be the Find Your Swing 4 Person Scramble at Crystal Highlands GC on 24 April 2023.  Signup will open up at 6 pm on 22 March 2023.

A reminder for New Members to Metro Seniors.  If you signup for the Find Your Swing event, you must play the first week of the season (13 or 14 April) in order to have a Handicap Index and contribute to your Team Handicap.  If you signup but cannot play the first week, you will have a Handicap Index of 0.0.

As it worked last year, the max number of players for each event is 120.  You will be assigned to the Entry List based on the timestamp of when you signup.  After the 120 max number has been met, you will be assigned to the Wait List.  Players will move from the Wait List to the Entry List as we get cancellations.  If you are playing with a team and your teammates signup in time to make the list of 120 and you signup after the max is met, you go on the Wait List.

All Special Events are team-based events.  You can find information on Team Handicap Calculations on the Metro Seniors web site.  Go to the Home Page, go across the top tool bar to Schedules and Results.  Scroll down the drop down menu to find information on Special Events.

If you have any questions you can contact Frank McLaughlin (Special Event Chair) or the event lead listed on the schedule.

2022 Best Ball Special Event Results

The results for the Best Ball Special Event held on 11 July at Cardinal Creek GC, Scott AFB have been posted to the Metro Seniors web site. You can see the results here.

We had a perfect day for golf yesterday. Cardinal Creek was in great shape. We did have a little bit of standing water on the back 9. We had a great group of teams and everyone had a good time. Pace of Play was excellent, completing in around 4 1/2 hours. The lunch after the round was very good. And we got to see some neat USAF airplanes taking off and landing.

Thanks to everyone that participated.
