Our league has 130 golfers who flock to WAVELAND each Wednesday morning during league play. We are a bunch of Chicago guys from all walks of life that enjoy ready golf, camaraderie, and community, but mostly golf. Membership is accepted prior to the start of each season based on openings available. Once registration opens you should submit your application as soon as possible.
League play runs May through September; we are also out there before and after the season through special signups each week. Registration for 2026 will open around around March 2026 - be on the look out for registration information as the league fills up quickly.
We will have occasional Happy Hours from 4:00 - 6:00 pm at The Reservoir (508 W. Montrose Ave.). Be on the lookout and come by for a drink and stay for dinner. (Spouses are always welcome.)

Happy New Year! Looking forward to a lot of good golf in 2026. So, let's get started. We begin our X Golf in
Wrigleyville (3551 N Sheffield) Wednesday morning golf next Wednesday, January 7. The cost will be a flat $20. You will play with a partner for two hours, If you play at a good clip, you can play 18 holes. Otherwise, just play and keep that smooth golf swing of yours. We have 16 slots for sessions at 8:30 and 10:30 each Wednesday.
We will start with the Hawaii tour and play at the Kapalua Plantation Course, and then follow the Tour as they wind their way through California and Arizona.

Here are a few off season tips that you can work on from a thought perspective while at home, when getting a winter round in on a break in the weather, or during your warm weather travels.

Ben Hogan "The Hawk" demonstrates swing mechanics emphasizing various body angles prior to contact. Work these into your downswing and follow through by replicating in slow motion in front of a mirror and then gradually incorporate into your full (and easy) swing.
Proper ball striking locations to maximize contact and ball response. Woods should be just below center, irons just above center, wedges lower center just above ground and putter towards the top. Practice hitting these hitting points mentally and then at the range, in your home (putter only!!) and then on the course.
