Welcome to the Great Lakes Senior Golf Association

and 30, we are rescheduling the tournament to Wednesday, May 20 and
Thursday May 21. If you entered either of the two April dates, and you
have not yet done so, please contact us and let us know of your
intension for the rescheduled dates.
A Change in the Temperature Over the Last Two Weeks
A couple of weeks ago we played golf in 70-degree weather. So, what happened. Oh yea, Michigan! At least this week at Alpine GC it was mostly sunny. As we were recording the scores this week, we noticed that the scores on the back nine seemed to be lower than those on the front nine. A closer look confirmed our suspicions. We randomly selected the scores of 85 golfers. By comparing the front and back nine scores of these golfers it was revealed that 65 of the back nine scores were lower than the front nine scores. In fact, only 8 of these golfers shot a lower score on the front nine. The back nine average of these golfers was 43.47 compared to a front nine average of 47.06. That means the back nine was about 3.6 shots easier than the front nine.
After all the years playing 2-person best ball events, it’s surprising how many members have no idea how to record scores in these tournaments. The amount of time it takes us to correct the scores is the reason we play so few of these types of tournaments. The results from Alpine is now available.
Tournaments In Both Divisions are Now Open
Open tournament dates are now available to all GLSGA members regardless of division. That also means you are now able to play both Wednesday and Thursday in any open tournament if space is available.
