BURNING TEE GOLF LEAGUE 

There are several leagues at the Penn State Golf Courses, one of which is the Burning Tee Golf League.  This particular league is for any and all male members 50 years of age or older, no matter what their skill level may be.  If you want to share some good times with a lot of other old duffers this is the league for you.  It has been in existence since 1960 and we have a membership of 117 players in 2009.    

To explain a little about our league, we normally play every Tuesday, using both courses.  However, for various reasons there are weeks when it is necessary for us to play on different days of the week.  Our season goes from the middle of April to the beginning of October.  We have an 18-hole division and a 9-hole division, whichever you would prefer.  In addition, we have about ten different tournaments scheduled throughout the year, some of them scrambles, while others are individual competition of various formats.  Also, we go on several out-of-town trips to other golf courses throughout the golf season.

The league has an annual Spring Meeting in April each year before the golf season begins.  It is at this meeting where we announce the teams and go over the rules, the schedule, and any special events for the up-coming season.  New members are brought into the league every year and this is a good time to meet a lot of the members.

The person to contact with any questions you may have is Don Hastings.

So, we would like to take this opportunity once more to invite you to join our Burning Tee League if you have not already done so.  I am sure you will enjoy yourself.
