Are you interested in finding some fellow Loonies and Toonies to golf with this season?

Some interest has been expressed in:

• Fun Couples Executive
• Fun Ladies Championship
• Fun Ladies Executive
• Fun Mens Executive

If you are also interested, please let us know and we will try to group together those of similar interests.

Give us a general idea of your skill level, what type of courses you like to play, what time of the year you plan to be in The Villages, and whether you are interested in singles, couples, or mixed groups.

If there is enough interest we will put the individuals with similar interests in contact with each other to sort out the details.

Volunteers

Needed for 2026/2027 Season

After a fun and exciting two years as President, Arthur Tucker will be stepping down at the end of this season.

Our Club is also looking for someone to organize the annual golf tournament next season.

Everything continues to move forward in a positive direction with the club, and it is healthy financially and socially.

This provides opportunities for an individual or group to come forward and get more involved during this season.

Individuals can take on the roles as-is, try out the roles, volunteer for a specific amount of time, or we can examine new ways to break up the work (like having different individuals organize monthly meetings).

Please contact Arthur Tucker at this email address with any questions, suggestions, and feedback.
