Special Local Rules Note...
If and when we play the ball up (lift, clean & place "through the green"), we are NOT allowed to improve the ball's lie by moving from rough to fairway. FYI, the USGA rules currently allow improving your lie in this manner. Our local rule overrides the USGA rule.
Be sure to check out any other special rules prior to start of any Men's Club Event!

The 2013 HMC Application is now available. Just click on the Link above. (Note: Application date has been corrected). This year’s fee remains unchanged at $90. Juniors still receive a complimentary (free) membership (with some limitations). Super Seniors are still $20 (you must be 75 years old and HMC Member for the past 10 years).
Your Adult or Senior membership in the Hunter Men’s Golf Club includes a 2013 USGA handicap (via GHIN) and the opportunity to participate in numerous Men’s Club events throughout the 2013 golf season. Membership does not include discounts for golf, carts or other pro shop purchases. If you would like a 2013 Season Pass for Hunter, please contact the Hunter Pro Shop @ 203-634-3366. (See season pass rates to the left)
April 1 is the beginning of the local 2013 Golf Season. If we do not process your application & check by April 1, we must deactivate your GHIN (handicap) access to avoid an unnecessary charge from the CSGA. If you need GHIN access in early April, please send us your completed application & check by March 25. Applications received after this date will be handled in the order they are received, which may result in a two or more week delay in (re)activating your GHIN access.
There is no late fee. However, golfers shall not participate in club sponsored events until they have submitted their application & check.

POST YOUR SCORE ON THE SAME DAY AS THE TOURNAMENT
At the Club’s Annual Spring Meeting held on March 3, 2013, the membership voted to confirm the following rule for Club events: To be eligible for event prizes, all players must post their (ESC) Score with GHIN on the same day that the event round was played. The Tournament Chairman has the authority to consider extraordinary circumstances in overriding this rule. Remember that extraordinary circumstances do not include “the dog ate my scorecard or I forgot. Of course, if you had read the Tournament Rules posted on the Tournament Page since 2010, you would already have known this. Here is Tournament Rule #3:
“3. All tournament and event scores shall be posted on GHIN on the day of the round. While remote posting from another computer is permitted, it is desirable to post the scores on the Men's Club computer in the Pro Shop immediately after the round (while it is still fresh in your mind). If you make a mistake, you should bring it to the attention of the Tournament Committee by the end of the day. Please remember to post a “T” for all tournaments noted as such.”
The Updated Tournament Schedule was Revised again!!!
In the “Print Friendly (pdf) version”, the Club Championship Semifinal Round was incorrectly note as Sunday, July 20. This should have been noted as Saturday, July 20.

Join the Men’s Club
Get your Hunter Men’s Club application back to us as soon as possible so that we can minimize any disruption to your GHIN Handicap status.
Start Posting Your Scores!!!
The local (CT) Golf Season begins Monday, April 1, 2013. As of this date, members are to post all of their rounds in the computer using GHIN Handicap Program. The Clubs computer is located in the back of the Hunter Pro Shop. Handicap Revisions will be posted by the CSGA on the 1st and 15th of each month.
Caring for our Golf Course
As we start the new year, please pay attention to the proper care of our beautiful golf course. Tom, the superintendent will occasionally pass along his concerns on the proper maintenance of the course. Let’s start with proper golf cart use.
We have had a good Spring and the work accomplished by the Hunter caretakers last fall has already shown its worth with a relatively “drier” 10th Fairway. However, we still need to keep the carts out of any wet areas on this and any other wet fairway. We only ask that you use common sense here...
Also, we need to stop driving our carts up and behind the 12th Tee. Please stay on the cart path when leaving the 11th Green. Drive around the bush and park near the stairs. If you are handicapped, please make prior arrangements with the Pro Shop when you pick up your cart.
Look for the Hunter Golf Course on “Facebook”.
The George Hunter Memorial - The first “Major” of the season
Sunday, May 26, 2013
Play our first “Major” of the season during the Memorial Day Weekend! Sign up in the Pro Shop by Tuesday, May 21. There is an entry fee and tee times will be assigned. This is an 18-Hole Medal tournament. Upon completion of play, your score must be entered into the Club computer as a (T) tournament score. FYI, George Hunter was the Head Pro at this golf course for many years. His portrait can be found in Violi’s Restaurant near the main entrance.
