Dear Oneka Senior Men’s League Golfer:
We look forward to the 2022 Oneka Ridge Senior Men’s Golf League season and seeing new and existing members out on the course. The annual league dues for 2022 are $115, which includes the GHIN handicap fee, monthly luncheons, Club Championship and Match Play prizes, Fall Banquet meal and prizes as well as some administrative expenses.
League play generally begins the first week of April. Members will not be able to play or participate in league events until payment of annual dues is received. Dues can be paid online with a credit card or payment by check that can be dropped off or mailed directly to the golf course.
The Spring Meeting will be held at Oneka Ridge Golf Course on Thursday, March 24 at 9:30 a.m. We will discuss information about the upcoming season and hold the first session of the USGA Rules Review. Member dues and hole-in-one insurance ($5) may also be paid at this time.
All Senior Men's Club League play is governed by the USGA Rules of Golf. Therefore, it is imperative that all members adhere strictly to those rules. Because not all players are familiar with the rules or are uncertain about how to enforce the rules, we are conducting two meetings to review the rules and answer any question about how to interpret them in specific situations. All members are required to attend one of the meetings. The first meeting will occur at the Spring Membership Meeting on the 24th of March. A second meeting will be scheduled in May for those unable to attend the March meeting.
The total charge for green fees and event fees this year is $29 and an additional $12 if you choose to ride in a cart. There is an optional daily fee of $5 if you choose to participate in that day's “skins” game. Winnings from each event will be recorded as clubhouse credit that can be used in the pro shop for merchandise. Winnings from the skin games will be paid in cash.
The tee time reservation days will be the same as last year. Members will be able to make online tee time reservations on Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. for the following Tuesday and on Mondays at 9:00 p.m. for the following Thursday. Online reservations close at 12:00 p.m. the day before the event.
The senior (Gold) tees will continue to be the default tees. However, the forward (Red) tees will again be an option. If you are planning to play the forward tees, please circle the Red tee option on the registration form. You must play those tees throughout each round for the entire season and your handicap will be adjusted accordingly.
Oneka Ridge will continue to send text messages regarding event cancellations, no carts, etc. due to weather. Please be sure to include your cell phone number in the registration form.
To register for membership, go to the Oneka Ridge website and click on the League Menu. Select League Registration and then select Senior Men’s Club.
