Welcome to the Great Lakes Senior Golf Association
Second Week, Third Great Course
Last week we played at two of the areas’ finer golf courses. This week we played at another great course. Kent County owed L.E. Kaufman has consistently been considered one of West Michigan’s best designed and maintained golf courses. Opened for play in 1965, it is the home course of the highly regarded Kent County Amateur Golf Tournament.
The number of golfers that played this week is evidence of the popularity of LE Kaufman among our members. A total of 220 individuals played over the two days. Unlike our first tournaments this year the weather this week was exceptional. Aside from being windy on both days the temperature was very comfortable. Perhaps the weather was the reason we had more than twenty scores of par or better over the two days. Since the results from LE Kaufman are now available you can count the exact number of scores that were par or better for yourself.
Multiple Tournaments Still Open
All open tournaments are now available to every GLSGA member regardless of division. Click here for more information. Any date highlighted in green is open for additional entries. This list will be updated so be sure to check the date on the top of the page.
If you entered a tournament in your division at a favorite golf course and that course still has an opening in the other division, you are now free to play in that division. You are also free to play both days at any tournament. If you need additional entry forms you can find links to both the regular division and the reserve division from the SCHEDULES/FORMS drop down menu above.
Do You Need a Partner?
For those needing a partner be sure to write “need a partner” on the entry form. As we receive the entry forms we will be updating the Need a Partner page. If you are looking for someone to play with, in one or more events, you should check the list for your division. The partner search lists the golfers name, contact information, flight and the tournaments / days needing a partner. To get your information posted follow the instructions in the right-hand column of the Need a Partner page.
