Find A Golf Group To Play With
There are several golf groups you can play with at Decatur Country Club. Each group has a slightly different interest and skill level among its regular players. The current largest groups are described below. Please check with the Pro Shop for individual tee times and to learn of other groups that you could join for a round of golf. There is a golf group for everyone who wants one at Decatur Country Club.
The Weenies are probably the most inclusive group for new golfers and have a wide range of ages, talents,and wallets. They will let anyone play with their group. Just show up and play. If you do not have a FairGolfMatch.Com rating, you can use an estimated rating based on your handicap or based on a golfer with similar golfing skills to join in the matches.
The price of entertainment for a round of golf with this group rarely exceeds $20.00 unless there are a lot of groups playing and someone plays really poorly. They play primarily for fun, but are still very competitive. Wear a thick skin when you play. Nobody is immune from the comments of the group members.
Normal tee times for the weenies start at 9:30 on Saturday and 1:00 on Sunday. If you want to play with the group or be added to their e-mail list send an e-mail to John Peters at johnp@fairgolfmatch.com.
The Big Group probably has the highest concentration of low handicap golfers at Decatur Country Club, although they also have some golfers in the 16-18 handicap range.
