About Us

WHAT:  Unlike traditional leagues, we have no formal competitions amongst teams. This is quite simply a co-ed social outing where we choose to play golf. In previous years, we did conduct "fun" contests such as longest putt, closest-to-the-pin, fewest total putts, most holes with same score, etc...  We also usually mix in a few scramble nights where we mix the teams by scoring average for awards. We will be discussing ideas for contests as the season begins. [ outline of rules ]

WHO:  20-30 SVSU faculty, staff and friends considered recreational golfers that enjoy the game and socializing. [ current roster and past participants ]

WHEN:  15 weeks from May to August  [ detailed calendar ]

WHERE:  Saginaw Valley Public Golf Course (formerly Bay City Country Club) [ Website ]

HOW:  Contact Jason using contact details on this page or complete online interest form to confirm your spot.  Pay the league fee at opening night. If you so desire, you can pay fees prior to opening day at the golf course pro shop.

Rules & Regulations

Pace of Play Work to keep pace with the group in front of you. Each team should be able to complete their round in about two hours, give or take 15 minutes.  Below are some things to aid the pace of play. “Tee It Forward”  Play from a set of tees that is comfortable for you – one where you are more likely to hit lofted irons into greens instead of hybrids or fairway woods. It is acceptable for players in the same group to play from different tees.  We encourage those whose average score and/or age is above 55 to consider using the forward gold tees. "Ready Golf" There is no "honor" on the tee. Any member ready to tee off can hit when the group ahead is safely out of range except on the first tee where you should start on your 10-minute interval. Each member of a foursome (or any group) should proceed directly to his or her ball. The group should NOT travel as a pack, going first to one ball, then the next, and so on. If you are ready to play and can shoot

Makeups & Rainouts

Make-ups We are very fortunate in that SVPGC is very flexible regarding make-up rounds but they do ask that you please call ahead to schedule a tee time. In their minds, we have purchased passes for 15 rounds of golf. If you are unable to attend golf, you will not lose it. You are responsible for submitting your score to Jason as soon as possible by completing this form . Rain-outs Unless thunderstorms are present, the course will NOT cancel golf under any circumstances. In such a threat, an announcement will be placed on the homepage of this Web site and an e-mail will be sent.
