Happy New Year to all Golf Madison Parks League Representatives!

We hope you had a great holiday season and are looking forward to getting back to playing golf! I know I certainly have the itch to play! I would like to first welcome you and your entire league back to the City of Madison Golf Courses for the 2017 season. My name is Ryan Brinza, I am the PGA Head Golf Professional for the four courses. I know I was able to meet many of you last year, but I am sure I missed some of you and would very much like to meet you this season. As we get ready for the 2017 season, you will find that your 2017 league agreement form has been attached to this mailing.

Our pro shop staff has received many calls from individuals looking to join a golf league at one of the four courses. Please answer the supplemental questions on the league agreement form giving us permission to have individuals contact a league representative if there are openings available in your league for the 2017 season.

Attached you will also find an invitation to a party at Odana Hills on February 18th for you and all of your league members to take advantage of. We hope you can make it!

I ask that you please return your league agreement form to me via email at rbrinza@cityofmadison.com or via US Mail to the address below no later than March 15^th.
