While the pandemic hasn't ended, things are looking brighter for the upcoming golf season. The UMNGC is planning for a full schedule this year although we will likely still be doing many of the procedures for events like digital scorecard submissions and social distancing for much of the year.

 

The membership application is updated for 2021 and we are going to be allowing non-members in two of our early events. This will be a great opportunity for golfers on the fence to see what our course and club is like during an individual and team event. Please be sure to register via Golf Genius, which has a new link for the 2021 Season: Golf Genius. Please also use a bank account linked PayPal profile and select the friends and family option when submitting your event fees.

 

We have a series of local rules posted for our events during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Please review them and be aware of local rules for bunkers, flagsticks, definition of holed and scoring. Don Vegoe will be at the first tee for our first event to hand out a scorecard to the group's official scorer and review the rules.

 

Until otherwise notified, we'll be operating under the same rules as last year, so please do not arrive more than 20 minutes before your tee time and be aware that the putting green and range will not always be available for praticing before an event.
