New Senior Tees

We have added an additional set of tee markers to accommodate the wide range of golfers we have at Swope Memorial.  These tees are intended for seniors and people new to the game of golf.  They will play a little bit longer then our current red tees, but not near as far as the white tees.  All holes should be much easier to get on the green in regulation and therefore hopefully provide a more enjoyable round of golf.

Kansas City Match Play

The Kansas City Golf Association has recently announced the return of its Match Play Championship.  The tournament will be held over three days at Swope Memorial on May 10-12.  It is the first time since 2002 the tournament will be played, but will mark the 57th time in history it has been contested.  Swope Memorial last hosted the event in 1958.  The event boosts a lot of history including Jim Colbert and Tom Watson as previous winners.  You can read more about the upcoming event on the Kansas City Golf Association website.
