Opening Day, One More Time...

Now the weather isn't looking so hot for Monday the 28th. If we have enough hardy souls, we may try it anyway. If not, then opening day will be May 2nd. We'll let you know.

Opening Day, absolutely, finally, maybe, well...

Well, fellow floggers, it could be this Monday. We may not know for sure until Sunday, but if we have enough players, we'll be out there Monday, the 28th. It all depends on registrations.

Some folks have been confused over the play times. We've updated the FAQ to clarify, but this should help.

Day: Mondays

Meeting Time: In Bridgman/Sawyer area to caravan/carpool to the course. 5:00

Tee Time: Between 5:30 and 6:00 depending on location and schedule.

Opening Day?

Well, it's April 21st, and we still don't have our act together. Delays in getting the word out to everyone have resulted in a slow start, so we are still gathering members and momentum. Consequently, no golf today.

Try to contain your emotion.

As those registrations keep rolling in, we may actually be able to put together a foursome next week, so if we can, then the 28th will be the new opening day.

Encourage your friends to sign up, and let's get out there as soon as we can!

Welcome to the Southwest Michigan Floggers

The 2008 golfing season is just around the corner, and preparations are underway for the first outing of the SWM Floggers. If you enjoy golfing, being outdoors, and the conversation and camaraderie that goes with it, then we may well be your league. If enjoying a beautiful afternoon, a decent cigar, and the company of your friends is more important than your handicap, you've come to the right place. At the Fraternal League of Ordinary Golfers, we are, in fact, a collection of ordinary golfers. It's not that the score doesn't matter, it's a question of mind over matter - if you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

So, if you've wanted to be a part of a league, but couldn't commit to being at each and every outing, and didn't appreciate watching your ranking drop accordingly, this is the place for you. We appreciate a finely struck ball as much as the next guy, but since it doesn't happen often, we don't keep track of season standings. You are welcome to keep score, but you start pressing for a comparison with other League members, you're liable to find yourself on the driving range shagging balls out by the 150 yard marker. Say, is that RANGE stamped backward on your forehead?

So, if this is for you, sign up using the Registration page, and join us every Monday for at least nine at one of the area courses.

See you out there!
