Senior Ryder Cup Qualifying - 2018

Senior Ryder Cup (SRC) is a two-man team gross match play competition against 3 other clubs in a division format. There are 100 clubs from Michigan, NW New York State and Ontario participating, with 16 clubs earning the honour to play in a Championship Day. Each club fields a team of 8 seniors (55+ as of May 15, 2018), two of whom must be Super Seniors (65+ as of May 15, 2018). Whitevale is participating for the 3rd time in 2017, in a division with Barcovan, Wolf Run and Baxter Creek Golf Clubs.

 

To qualify for the 2018 SRC team, participate in the 2-day Senior Club Championship on July 22 and 23, 2017. Super Seniors may play the white tees if they do not want to compete for the overall Senior Championship.

 

"C" members with a handicap of 6 or less are eligible to participate.

 

A team of about 15 will be registered as part of the Whitevale team, to ensure coverage for each event.

Play with the Pro

In an effort to have the professional staff get out and enjoy golf with the membership we have started a new program called "Play with the Pro". How the program works is if you would like to play with one of the pro's you visit the golf shop and let one of the staff know you would like to sign up. At that time you let them know which pro you would like to play with and a couple of days and times that would work best for you. The professional staff will be checking the sign up sheets every other day and contact the members involved once a day and time has been agreed upon. The staff who will be taking part in this are Ryan La Rose, Ray McCourquodale, Kevan Goble, Charlie Doherty and Brendon Allman. We look forward to getting out with a number of you over the next few months!
