From the Bunkers

The tournament season is officially under way at Houlton Community Golf Club. The men’s and ladies’ leagues have both begun and we’ll keep you updated of their results in the weeks ahead.
In addition, this past weekend saw our annual Memorial Tournament take place in the form of an 18-hole “shamble.” Eleven teams came out for the event to compete on a great day for golf. The tournament champions were the low gross team of Aaron Peabody, Kevin Tuttle, Rick Goodwin and Zach Goodwin at 7-under par. The low net champs were the team of Wayne and Cindy Floyd, Mitch Holmes and Linda Holmes at 16-under par. Earning the honors for second low net was the team of Mike Fogarty, Beth Hunt, Jamie Hunt and Ryan Dee. Thanks to everyone who participated and came out to support the club!
The golf course is in excellent condition this year and we are looking forward to an exciting tournament schedule this summer! Coming up in just a couple weeks on Saturday, June 23 we will be hosting our two-person best ball tournament, open for member/member or member/guest teams. All participants must have an established GHIN handicap to participate. The tournament is scheduled for a 1 p.m. shotgun start.

The junior golf program is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, June 26 at 8 a.m.. Space is still available so call the Pro Shop to get signed up. Cost is $40 per child for the program and will run throughout the summer on Monday mornings from 8-11.
