The Houlton Golf Club will officially open for business tomorrow, May 15. An early bird green fees special of nine holes for $12 and 18 holes for $20 is available during the month of May.
Head greens keeper Brent Hammond and his crew of Ray Barton, Angie Brewer, Sean Malloy and Don Watson are working hard rolling fairways and putting the greens and course back in shape from the long hard winter. We are hoping some warm weather will dry up the course in hopes of putting carts on the links by Memorial Day weekend.
The driving range will up and running by Monday, May 12, weather permitting.
May will be a busy month with four important opening events occurring. The Ladies Day opening event will be held Tuesday, May 20 at 5 p.m. and weather permitting, a nine-hole scramble will be played for those ladies interested. At 6 p.m., the social hour begins followed by supper and information about this year’s play. Of special note is the Ladies’ Twilight League formed last year. More details about this popular event will be shared at the supper. A sign-up list is now in the clubhouse for the supper and Ladies Twilight League.
Also that week – on Thursday, May 22 will be the first men’s supper of the year. The men’s Twilight League information and sign up will be available. Registration for the men’s Twilight League is happening now at the clubhouse, so get your team on the list now. Deadline for the league sign up is May 31 with a limit of 24 teams.
The sixth annual Memorial Day Tournament will be played on Saturday, May 31. The tournament kicks off with a breakfast prepared by president David Grant and his crew. The four-person scramble will be an 18-hole event this year; with a shotgun start at 10 a.m. Hamburgers and hot dogs from the grill will be available after golf. Get your foursome ready and sign up now. If you don’t have a group, sign up anyway and will help you find a group. We are looking for a full field for this inaugural 2008 golf event. All proceeds go toward the beautification projects and gardens around the course. The Ladies’ Association is sponsoring this event and asks if anyone who has a loved one to be remembered for our memorial to stop by the club house and put the name on our memorial board, or call the clubhouse for details.
On Saturday night, May 31, we are holding our opening season roast beef dinner. Roast beef or chicken cordon bleu are on the menu, so you must call to reserve your spot and choice of meal. Sign up now by calling the clubhouse (532-2662) or e-mail your reservation at www.houltongolf@yahoo.com. Space is limited, so do it today. The social hour begins around 5:30 p.m., with dinner served at 6:30 p.m.
Finally, season memberships are being taken at the clubhouse. Single and family memberships are the same cost as last year.
