Welcome to the Great Lakes Senior Golf Association

Whitefish Lake GC; One Final Time?

Due to a reshuffling of the 2027 season, we will not be returning to Whitefish Lake GC next year. This was a result of the need to add a second visit to Alpine GC and a change to one of the weeks at The Legacy at Hastings. It also gave us an opportunity to separate one of the weeks where both divisions were playing simultaneously. Remember, the 2027 season schedules will be posted in December.

Something we have been seeing more often recently; lower scores in most flights. Both days this week, in flights “A”, “B” and “C”, the winning score was sub-par. While this is not unusual in 2-person scrambles, it seems to be more frequent this year. Something else that is unusual; we had another hole-in-one. This time it was Mark Potter on hole #4 on Wednesday. While a hole-in-one is not what’s unusual, it’s the number that we had this year. It’s our fifth! That is the second most we have had in a single year since we had seven in 2014.

The results from Whitefish Lake are now available.
