Adult Singles Golf Mixers

  Our weekly Learn to Golf Party at Kennedy Golf course attracts 16 to 24 people every Monday afternoon.  Ladies like it because they are learning a new recreational activity. The men are happy to help them learn and make the evening fun!

  This is not for serious golfers.

   Our "really-beginner" golf mixers start on the west patio of the Kennedy Golf Course Clubhouse. We meet at 5:30 and start teeing off as players arrive and continue until 6:30 to accommodate those arriving after work.

We play on the short Par-3 Course at Kennedy Golf Course at East Hampden and South Havana. 

Later we go to the nearby Fresh Fish Company (next to The Proof Nightclub on East Hampden) for their late  happy hour with reduced priced drinks and seafood appetizers.  Shrimp cocktails, coconut shrimp, calamari, gumbo, clam chowder and prime rib sandwiches.

Age Group--50+ 
For Beginners--Men and women team up to play on the Par-3 course.
Meet and Learn--This is not serious competitive league play. The purpose is for adult singles to meet and enjoy a fun sport.  It is a singles mixer at sunset on a lawn you don't have to mow.
Scramble Format--In this team event everyone hits their first drive. Then ball landing in the best location is selected.  Other players move their ball to that location and hit their next shot from there. Beginner golfers become "putt leaders" showing others the line of the first putt. Occasionally they make one.
Volunteer Instructors--Experienced golfers are teamed with beginners to give tips on techniques and help them learn on-course skills. Some women have already taken lessons but never felt comfortable playing on a full-length course.
Cost--$15 per person includes green fee, tee time, instruction and organization. 
Need Clubs?--Loaner sets of 4-5 clubs are available free.
Fast Play--The Par-3 can be played in under two hours. Traditional golf on a nine hole course takes more than 2 1/2 hours.
Changing Clothes--The lower level restrooms at Kennedy have changing rooms.
No Commitment--You do not have to play each week or rush from work. Tee times will start at 6:00 and go until 6:30 p.m. Everyone should be finished by 8:00.
Bad Weather--If the weather looks bad or is raining we go directly to the Fresh fish Company Oyster Bar for the Monday party.  Non golfers will already be there.
No Event Conflicts--We play on Monday nights to avoid other singles events and social activities.
