Men’s Twilight League play begins Monday, June 8.  The format and rules for this year are identical to last year. A schedule will be posted on the bulletin board June 5. There is room for only four more teams, so if you are considering playing, please call the clubhouse immediately. We are looking for teams that can tee off between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. Also coming up is the first evening of Couples League, which will begin Friday, June 12.
The 10th annual June Jamboree, a Member/Member – Member/Guest Tournament will be held on Saturday, June 20 at 7:30 a.m.  The format again this year is nine holes of two-person scramble and nine-holes of best ball. This popular all-net event is a fun competition, so sign up now. Also coming up Friday, July 3, is the annual Houlton High School Alumni Scramble. Get your four-person team together and be ready for this nine-hole golf treat at 9 a.m.  You do not have to be a HHS alumnus to play. If you don’t have a team, sign up anyway, and we will put you with a group.
