High Street Golf League

We had a nice warmup for Memorial Day; Hopkins wins Special Event of the Week

After three weeks of league play in 2026, the season is well underway with lots of good scores being turned in.  Each flight is competitive, and the lead changed hands in a couple of the flights this week.  Be sure to turn in golf-outs for the weeks you can't play on Monday or Tuesday.

Deb Hopkins won the special event for the week, with a score of 21 after throwing out her two worst net holes.  Second place went to Ken Johnston, who posted 22 strokes not counting his two worst holes.  Julie Dugan and Scott Goodrick both had scores of 23 for the special event, with Julie taking third place and Scott finishing in fourth.  All of the results from the third week of league play can be viewed by using the links at the top or right-hand side of this page.

For our next league round, scheduled for Monday, June 1, we will have a special shot-gun start at 5:15 pm for our league play on the front nine, because Tam O'Shanter is closed until 5:00 pm for a large golf outing that day.  The shotgun start should be fun – try to attend!  But if you can't play at that time on 6/1, you can always play your league round on Tuesday, 6/2, or you can turn in a back-nine golf-out score for the week anytime before Sunday, June 7.

All Flight Races are Tight after Two Weeks; Cindric wins Fewest Putts Event

The standings in all six flights are close after the first two weeks of league play, with the flight leader ahead by 2 points or less.  The biggest lead is held by TJ Jablonski in Flight E, with a 2 point lead over Mark Cirillo.  But it's still very early in the season, and everyone is still in the running for one of the top spots in each flight.  In our league, it really hurts you if you miss a week of league play without turning in a golf-out score, so be sure to golf out during those weeks that you can't make it on Monday or Tuesday for league play.  You can also bank golf-out scores in advance if you know that you'll have to miss on a particular league day.

The special event for the week was fewest putts, and Blase Cindric and Scott Goodrick outpaced the field on the greens in Week 2 action.  Blase used only 12 putts for his 9 holes, and Scott used only 15 putts for his round, so they finished 1-2 in the event.  There were five players who had 17 putts for their round, and the handicap tiebreaker was used to determine the third and fourth place finishers this week.  Paula Lawrence took third place and Mark Cirillo finished in fourth.  Use the links at the top or right-hand side of the page to see all the results from Week # 2 of league play.

This coming Monday is Memorial Day, and it will be a normal league play day for us.  Tam O'Shanter has arranged for us to pay the regular weekday rate if we start our round after noon, so make your plans to celebrate the holiday on the links!  If you can't make it that day to play, you can play on Tuesday, May 26, or use a golf-out score that you have in the bank or one that you turn in later in the week.

Season Opens with Nice Weather; Marks is the Most Accurate Driver in Week # 1

The weather was actually pretty nice on May 11 & 12 for the opening round of play in the High Street Golf League for 2026.  In the special event of the week, Mary Rose Marks took the top spot by virtue of hitting 7 of 7 fairways with her tee shots for the round — you just can't do any better!  RK Bair also hit all 7 fairways during his round, but finishes in second place due to the handicap tiebreaker.  Paula Lawrence and Linda Moreland won the handicap tiebreaker for 3rd and 4th place, respectively, by hitting 6 of 7 fairways for their rounds.  You can view the gross and net scores and skins game results, along with the special event results, Eagle's Club and Hole-of-the-Week Club information, and the season-long statistical summary by using the links at the top and/or right-side of the league home page.

We will calculate new handicaps after each week of league play, so you can see what your handicap will be for next week by clicking on the "Handicaps for Week 2" link in the right-hand column of the league home page.

The Skins Game and Special Event results are final, because you must play on league days to be in those games.  However, the flight standings aren't finalized until all league members have a chance to turn in a golf-out score for the week.  If you play a round on the same nine as we played that week (week 1 was on the back nine) you can turn in a score for the week as long as you do it by Sunday night of the week you missed.  You can also turn in scores in advance to be put in the golf-out bank if you know you'll be missing a week in the future.  Just leave your scorecard with the staff at the front desk at Tam O'Shanter.  If you don't turn in a golf-out score for a week you missed, we'll use the lowest score you have in the golf-out bank for that nine (if you have one).

Ready for the Start of the Season on May 11 and 12

The 2026 High Street Golf League season gets underway this Monday, May 11.  Check the "Flights for First Half" and "Handicaps for Week 1" links in the right-hand column of this page to see what your starting handicap and flight will be.  All players will be placed in a flight for the first half of the season with players of comparable handicaps.  We will adjust handicaps each week based on the previous week's score, but you will stay in the same flight for the entire first half of the season.

We will start the season on the Back Nine at Tam O'Shanter for the first week of league play.  The weather forecast looks at least decent for Monday and Tuesday, so hopefully we'll have a good turnout of players for the season's first week.  Good luck to one and all, and let's get off to a great start this year!

Second Practice Round Scheduled for May 4/5

We're ready for our second practice round this week at Tam O'Shanter.  We will play the Front nine for this week's practice round.  Please turn in your scorecard so we can calculate handicaps for the start of the season.  If you know of anyone who's thinking of joining the league this year, please encourage them to play practice rounds so they will have a handicap for the first weeks of league play.

We're continuing the season-long optional competition in the league this year called the Hole-of-the-Week Club.  If you want to play, it's only $18 for the whole season (that's just $1 a week).  Each week, one of the holes in your nine will be designated as the Hole of the Week, and we'll record your net score on that hole (after handicap strokes are deducted) in the book.  At the end of the season, the players with the lowest total for the Holes of the Week will split the pot!  How many places we pay out will be based on how many people participate.  Here are the holes of the week for each week:

Since we're using net scores, everyone has a good chance to win this, especially higher handicap players.  Why not give it a shot this year and join the fun?!?

If you've paid your league dues already, thank you! Don't forget that league dues must be paid by May 25.

First Practice Round is this coming week (April 27 & 28)

We will have two practice rounds for the golf league before actual competition starts this year.  This gives everyone a chance to turn in some scores to establish a start-of-season handicap, and to get back into the swing of things.  If you play practice rounds, your handicap for the start of the season will be determined half from your handicap at the end of last year + 2, and half from the practice rounds you play.  Our first practice round is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday of this coming week, April 27 and 28.  We will be on the Back Nine for the first practice round.  Make plans to play, turn in your scorecard, and reconnect with your friends in the golf league (or if you can't play on Monday or Tuesday, turn in a golf-out score if you play later in the week).

If you are new to the league this year, please plan to play and establish some scores for your handicap at the start of the year.  If you can't play on Mondays or Tuesdays the next two weeks, you can turn in scores as golf-outs.  See you at the course!

For 2026, We Have a New Title Sponsor and New League Name!

We are very happy to be able to announce that our golf league is being sponsored this year by High Street Pub & Grill in Sharpsville, PA!  Click here to visit High Street's Facebook page to check out their upcoming events, menu and specials.  Since High Street will be our title sponsor, our new league name will be "High Street Golf League", so that's our official name going forward.  Thanks to our new sponsor, we'll have plenty of great prizes for our weekly fun games this year, and High Street Pub & Grill will be our official league go-to location for after-golf food, drinks and fun!

To thank High Street for becoming our league sponsor, we're encouraging all league members to stop in there after your round of golf each week for drinks and good food, and to brag about your round or get some consolation/teasing from your fellow league members if things didn't go so well that day!  Make it a regular habit to drop in at High Street — your new after-golf spot!

Time to start thinking about the 2026 Golf League Season!

Now that we are halfway through the month of April and the weather will (hopefully) start to get better, we can prepare for playing in our golf league for the year.  We're planning lots of fun in the league this season.

Here's some information about the start of the 2026 season:  we'll have two practice round weeks starting with the first practice round on April 27 & 28; the second practice round will be on May 4 & 5.  New members must play two 9-hole practice rounds before Friday May 8 to establish a handicap for use in Week 1 of league play.  The first week of league play for the season will take place on May 11 and 12.  Remember that you can play your league round and participate in all games including the Skins Games and the Special Event of the Week if you play on either Monday or Tuesday each week.

If you know of anyone who would would have fun by playing in our league, please share our e-mail address and web site with them.  We're looking for new members, so your help is appreciated. See you soon at the course!
