Montauk Downs Golf Leagues Begin

Jon Reed in an email this week said that league play is about to get underway at the Montauk Downs golf course. A Wednesday morning men’s league is to begin this week; three women’s leagues are to begin early in June.

Playing in leagues, Reed said, “is a great way to meet new friends — weekly matches are arranged by the pro shop, and the format changes every week. Low gross and low net prizes will be awarded. There will also be inter-club play, home and away, and league participants will get discounts on carts, range balls, and lessons.”

Play in the men’s league — the registration fee is $175, $200 if handicapping service is required — is to begin Wednesday, at 11 a.m., and is to continue through Nov. 13. “A shortened four-month membership is available for $125 with no handicap service.”

Registration fees for the 18-hole, 9-hole, and 2x9-hole women’s leagues range from $125 to $150.
