The Free State Seniors Golf Association is the oldest senior golf association in Maryland. We are very excited about what this year holds for all of us. You can show your commitment to the 2026 season by renewing your membership. Please send a check made out to “Free State Seniors” to 37 Hayride Lane, Taneytown, MD, 21787. If you wish, you can also make a Zelle payment to Freestateseniorsgolf1971@gmail.com. The dues are just $65.
Your prompt response and commitment to the Free State Seniors Golf Association enable us not only to run the current season but also to plan for next year. Thank you to all who participated in our 2025 schedule. If you were unable to play last year, we hope that you can join us in 2026. We have a very exciting schedule, with new courses and a return to old favorites. Please check out our 2026 schedule in the Tournament section of this website. We are all looking forward to our opening tournament when Free State travels to The Country Club of Woodmore.
Please continue to recruit new members to the Free State Seniors Golf Association. We are always looking for a few more good men to replace those who leave for various reasons. Anyone applying for membership this winter will be admitted to the Association before the 2026 golf season begins. As always, our best recruiter is YOU! Please share your experiences with your friends and all qualified members at your club, and encourage them to join our organization.
If you have any suggestions or ideas that you feel will improve our Association, please contact me or any member of the Board of Directors.
Thank you for all your cooperation and support during 2025. I believe we are all looking forward to a great season on the course this coming year!
