RMA members play golf as a group at the Griffith Harris Golf Course every Tuesday morning from April through October.
Members sign up at the weekly RMA meetings. Pairings and tee-times are worked out by the designated host of the week and emailed to signers four to five days in advance.
While the spirit of the game is informal, and no handicaps are kept. The golf host for the Tuesday outing reports to the general meeting of members the next day. The individual with the longest drive and those closest to the pin on three holes are recognized for their achievements.
The Griffith Harris Golf Course charges all RMA members the senior rate, a “good deal,” making it easy on the pocket book even with a cart. Of course, since the course is Town of Greenwich owned, all players must sign up with the Griff each spring and pay the annual
Town’s golfing fee which amounts to $110 (2023 annual fee).
All levels of players turn out to participate. Some of our better players score in the high eighties while others, less talented in the game, can score up to 120.
An annual luncheon ends the season in October. Occasionally, RMA golfers go to other courses as a group.
