April Has Arrived…
…and brought Spring with it! And not a moment too soon.
This month, we are starting our Wednesday leagues. They will be at Douglas Park on Wednesdays at 5:30 pm. It’s still getting dark early, so be ready to play on time.
Saturdays are going to be at Lincoln Park at 10:00 am <i>with one exception.</i> The first Saturday of the month (the 6th) is going to be at Douglas (because the Abraham Lincoln Half Marathon will be at Lincoln Park). So, we’ll see you at Douglas on the 6th and Lincoln for the rest of the month!

December!
Can you believe it is December already? If you ate a bit too much at Thanksgiving or other holiday events, come burn a bit of those calories off on the course. We’re playing at Lincoln Park on Saturdays at 10:00. Yes, we play year-round, so dress warm and in layers!

September at UIS and Lincoln Park
Yes, you read the title correctly, we are going to have our Saturday morning leagues in September at UIS‘s recently-completed 18-hole course. We will meet at the normal time–10:00 AM. We will meet near parking lot D (campus map), which is a large parking lot for visitors. If you’ve never played it, it’s a very open course.
Wednesday leagues in September will be at Lincoln Park. We are going to start 30 minutes earlier, at 5:30 PM, so that we don’t run out of daylight too quickly.
Hope to see you all on the courses!
