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 (Significant others are always welcome).
Our Valentine's Dinner at The Reservoir was a blast. David Lynch provided a great meal and the ten couples had a great time.

We are currently playing X Golf in Wrigleyville (3551 N Sheffield) Wednesday mornings and the cost is a flat $20 per week. 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're on for X Golf on Wednesday at 8:30 and 10:30. We'll say good bye to California courses with a round at Caly Links.
Please send me a note if you plan to play and which time is best.

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.
