Membership Renewals and Year End Prize checks

Total membership renewals are moving along well. Almost 400 members have renewed. We are expecting membership to grow a little.

Division 3, 4 and 5 – Renew before Jan 1.

Our Thursday divisions fill up fast. 3 and 4 are already over 110 renewed with a wait list of several members. Renewing members have priority for 2025 until January 1, 2025.

After Jan 1 we fill positions with new members. Renewals no longer have priority. If your division is full, we can transfer you to another.

New Members

We already have over 20 new members on the wait list.

Almost all joined to play with a friend or relative. Recommending Metro Seniors to a friend is BY FAR the source of our new members.

Share your fun with a friend – invite someone to join Metro Seniors. A newly retired co-worker or neighbor. Someone from one of your groups or clubs.

Metro Seniors makes it EASY to have a regular golf schedule at a variety of courses, with friendly and fair competition.
