The Houlton Golf Club is now open for business, and carts are in use.

The 13th annual Memorial Tournament dedicated to Bob Burton will be played Saturday, May 31. The four-person scramble will be an 18-hole event this year (weather permitting), with a shotgun start at 1 p.m.  Get your team ready and sign up now. We are looking for a full field for this inaugural 2014 golf event.  All proceeds go towards the beautification projects and gardens around the course. Sign up now by calling the clubhouse (532-2662) or email houltongolf@gmailcom.
On that same day, Saturday, May 31, we plan to have our first supper of the year of prime rib/baked haddock, prepared by Joe Bergen and his staff. The supper will be held after the Memorial Tournament at 6 p.m. Members and guests are welcome. Sign up now to confirm your reservation by calling the clubhouse 532-2662.  Deadline to sign up is May 29.
There still are three spots left for the Men’s Twilite League, which begins Monday, June 2. Call the clubhouse for details, as you and your partner must be fully paid members by May 30.  Also the Ladies Twilite League is looking for a few more teams.
The annual President’s Cup Championship will be held again this year. This match-play event plays throughout the summer and is open to all members 18 years of age and older.  Sign- ups are now going on, so stop by or call to get your name on the list. The first round of matches will begin the end of June.
