a western Michigan
senior men's golf league
When we put together the schedule for 2022, three courses were added that were either new to GFG or hadn't been played in recent years. Wednesday we played the first of the three new courses - The Links at Bowen Lake. With beautiful weather and a warm welcome from the professional staff, everyone enjoyed a great day of GFG golf on a fun and interesting course. Excellent food as well!
In the coming weeks we'll be visiting the Lynx Golf Course in Otsego, MI, and the Candlestone Golf Resort in Belding, MI.
Signups are filling up quickly this year, so be sure to keep an eye on the signups once they open up for these courses.
We’re upgrading our old computer program!
Using the “Randomizer” to pick the teams each week is out – too many duplications of pairings. Crazy. What are the odds that you’d end up playing with the same person for two or three weeks in a row?
Bob Wassick has developed a new team generation system that promises to minimize this problem. No, it doesn’t use Artificial Intelligence (maybe next year), it’s just some very slick Excel macro programming to minimize the duplication of parings. He has tested the system using the signups from this past year and it looks good. It should be many weeks into the season before you find yourself with previous playing partners.
There will always be some circumstances that can short circuit the system, like when a last minute signup is added to an existing threesome, but we’re certain you’ll enjoy this big improvement this coming season.
A group of senior men gathering weekly, April through October, playing a scramble event at some of the premier golf courses throughout western Michigan
It's always some sort of scramble with teams determined randomly, but the rules of the game change each week, as different GFG members host the events
After the round we typically stay at the course for a bite to eat and share stories of our highs and lows during the round while our host recaps the scoring and awards prizes
