Youth on Course 100 Hole Hike Come Hike With Us - September 19th
For nearly two decades, Youth on Course provides $5 rounds to youth's ages 6 to 18, developing a new generation of golfers. But did you know that each Youth on Course round that members play is subsidized by donations? In an effort to help ensure our Bay State youth continue to have affordable access to golf and the life-changing opportunities that come with playing the sport, Team Mass Golf is taking on the 100 Hole Hike on September 19th!
While a roster of is already taking shape, there's plenty of room for more hikers on Team Mass Golf. Team Mass Golf is looking to recruit a group of charitable players to take on 100 holes this fall to raise awareness and funds to support Youth on Course. With a fundraising goal of $50,000, the hike will take place on Friday, September 19th at The Links at Mass Golf. A squad of dedicated fundraisers will test their endurance, patience, and skills for a good cause, raising money for Youth on Course.
The second Men's Team Matches kicked off this month with 80 Member Clubs being represented in this statewide competition that allows male Mass Golf members to participate in a competitive and social inter-club format. Team Matches consist of four matches over the course of the summer months (June – September), with one match taking place each month. Teams compete in four-team regions, and the winner of each region after the four regular season matches will move on to the Men’s Team Matches Championship. Check out the standings below.
Mass Golf staff conducts club visits where we will meet with club representatives to raise awareness and provide education on Member Club programs and services and learn more about how Mass Golf can better serve its Member Clubs.
