Summer Golf Outings

2023 DLA GOLF SCRAMBLE SCHEDULE

This summer, we will be organizing a golf/dinner event on one Tuesday of each month.  This is more of a fun, social event, as opposed to a serious competition, so all skill levels are welcome.  We generally use a “scramble” format with a few special rules and contests thrown in.  We will play nine holes at one of the area courses followed by dinner at the course or a nearby restaurant. 

 

May 23rd (Tuesday): Pokegama – Tee Off 2pm

June 20th (Tuesday): Eagle Ridge – Tee Off 2pm

July 18th (Tuesday): Pokegama – Tee Off 2pm

August 15th (Tuesday): Blueberry Hills – Tee Off 2pm

September 12th (Tuesday): Pokegama – Tee Off 2pm

 

Dinner location will be determined the week prior to golf. Non-golfers are welcome to join us for dinner only if they like.

New golfers always welcome to join us on the golf course and former golfers, spouses and significant others for dinner!!

 Please contact our Golf Coordinator:
