Division 9 Tournaments will resume in June. Details on signup and play are being developed for each Wednesday with Riverside Golf Club.

Metro Seniors Starting in June

by

Playing golf is what most of us have been looking forward to.  Metro St Louis Seniors Golf Association will start weekly play June 3rd, 4th or 5th depending on your division.  Many things have changed so it’s very important to read all the emails you will receiving from your Division VP.  This year more than ever they will totally be in charge of the weekly events.  Email is our way of communicating with everyone, so please be diligent and look often!

Social Distancing is the “New” rule and until these rules change, we are obligated to adhere to these rules.  We will have additional volunteers this year to make sure we are in compliance. Please make sure you follow the directions of these volunteers.  All members must adhere to all the changes we have instituted.  Violations of these rules may result in immediate termination of membership from all Metro Seniors operations without refunds.

For this year no one can arrive at the course early and wait in line for a tee time, regardless if you have a foursome, threesome, twosome or as a single.  All members must obtain a tee time thru their Division VP.  This is the only process you can use.

The complete tee time reservation process will be explained in detail from your Division VP.  Each division’s process will mirror the other division.  You should expect this shortly.

If you have been playing in Division 9 you will need to contact John Reinhardt by email at stlthunder@gmail.com He will send you all information so you may register and play on Wednesdays.  Division 9 will start play the first week in June.

The first 3 Special Events have been canceled.  Refunds for those who paid, will be issued in the next 30/60 days.  The remaining are still on.  We will address them by July 1st.

For those in the Metro Plus league, an email will be sent to you shortly regarding the season.  Metro Plus will start in early June. 

These are difficult times and difficult choices sometimes must be made.  We will make sure our league is operated safely, within the guidelines set out by our local and state government, at the same time providing the best Senior league in the St. Louis area. If you wish a refund for this year, refunds will be issued based on the policy manual on our website and must be requested by June 1, 2020. Please send your requests to your VP only!

I hope to see many of you on the golf course this year.  If we don’t know each other please introduce yourself to me.  If your questions go unanswered you may always email me at larry@lgr-sri.com
