2025 Spring Middle School Golf League

 This will be a five-week season for only players that played previously in the MSGL. It will consist of an expanded clinic including on-course golf instruction,, 3 weeks of individual stroke tournament type play and conclude with an expanded skills Drive, Chip and Putt course. The cost for registration is just $195.  We opened registration to only those that played in the fall—no newcomers or beginners. Those that played in the fall were given a code and only they could register for the spring.  And we cut off registration to only 48 players. Since all players are returning, new shirts will not be provided and players will be asked to wear their previous team shirt. This has helped us keep the costs down. We are planning the season to begin on Sunday, March 24 with a much more detailed and focused individual instructional golf clinic.  The clinic will be done in smaller groups of only 24 players at Chimney’s Golf Course by professional golf instructors. We will then play again on Sunday afternoons skipping Easter Sunday and concluding in early May barring rain outs.  More on the schedule later and we will again have a Parents Zoom to go over details before the season starts. 

 

Again, our play will have three weeks, each of a nine-hole individual stroke tournament type play.  This will not be best ball team play but formatted more like high school matches. Each player will be playing their own ball and keeping up with their individual score and reporting it to a marshal. We will be playing at only three courses and your player will play each course.  We are presently in coordination with Chimneys, Cedar Lake and Monroe Country Club.  We will again play on Sunday afternoons with tee times beginning at 4 p.m.  Players will be assigned and go off in foursomes at each golf course.  Players may walk or ride in your carts as before.  We will have local tournament individual stroke rules.  Parents may buy spectator carts at the course rate. We will have a reasonable max score for speed of play as they are playing individual stroke.  We will do similar to what we do in high school where only the top three individual scores of players from each middle school team will count as that team’s score. Therefore, there must be at least three players from a middle school to qualify for team competition. If more than 6 we will assign and have again multiple teams representing that middle school. We will also recognize each week the top individual scores (medals) at each course as well as top individuals scores for the season (trophies). So, if less than three players from a middle school register, those players will be playing as individual competitors in competition for individual tournament medals and end of season individual awards. We will again have marshals to supervise play and record and report scores. So, we would recognize overall team winners as well as the top three individual players at each course each week and cumulative for the end of the season. We will then again culminate the spring season with expanded skills Drive, Chip and Putt Contest.

We will have a cut off as we can only accommodate 48 players for this format in our abbreviated individual stroke tournament style Spring Season!

Looking forward to the MSGL Spring Season!

NEW FOR 2014  CONCUSSION POLICY
Parent/Athlete Concussion Information Sheet
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that changes the way the brain normally works. A concussion is caused by bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. Even a “ding,” “getting your bell rung,” or what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF CONCUSSION?
Signs and symptoms of concussion can show up right after the injury or may not appear or be noticed until days or weeks after the injury.
If an athlete reports one or more symptoms of concussion listed below after a bump, blow, or jolt to
the head or body, s/he should be kept out of play the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion, says s/he is symptom-free and it’s OK to return to play.
Did You Know?
• Most concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
• Athletes who have, at any point in their lives, had a concussion have an increased risk for another concussion.
• Young children and teens are more likely to get a concussion and take longer to recover than adults.
SIGNS OBSERVED BY COACHING STAFF
SYMPTOMS REPORTED BY ATHLETES
Appears dazed or stunned
Headache or “pressure” in head
Is confused about assignment or position
Nausea or vomiting
Forgets an instruction
Balance problems or dizziness
Is unsure of game, score, or opponent
Double or blurry vision
Moves clumsily
Sensitivity to light
Answers questions slowly
Sensitivity to noise
Loses consciousness (even briefly)
Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy
Shows mood, behavior, or personality changes
Concentration or memory problems
Can’t recall events prior to hit or fall
Confusion
Can’t recall events after hit or fall
Just not “feeling right” or “feeling down”
CONCUSSION DANGER SIGNS
In rare cases, a dangerous blood clot may form on the brain in a person with a concussion and crowd the brain against the skull. An athlete should receive immediate medical attention if after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body s/he exhibits any of the following danger signs:
• One pupil larger than the other
• Is drowsy or cannot be awakened
• A headache that not only does not diminish, but gets worse
• Weakness, numbness, or decreased coordination
• Repeated vomiting or nausea
• Slurred speech
• Convulsions or seizures
• Cannot recognize people or places
• Becomes increasingly confused, restless, or agitated
• Has unusual behavior
• Loses consciousness (even a brief loss of consciousness should be taken seriously)
WHY SHOULD AN ATHLETE REPORT THEIR SYMPTOMS?
If an athlete has a concussion, his/her brain needs time to heal. While an athlete’s brain is still healing, s/he is much more likely to have another concussion. Repeat concussions can increase the time it takes to recover. In rare cases, repeat concussions in young athletes can result in brain swelling or permanent damage to their brain. They can even be fatal.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU THINK YOUR ATHLETE HAS A CONCUSSION?

If you suspect that an athlete has a concussion, remove the athlete from play and seek medical attention. Do not try to judge the severity of the injury yourself. Keep the athlete out of play the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion, says s/he is symptom-free and it’s OK to return to play.

Rest is key to helping an athlete recover from a concussion. Exercising or activities that involve a lot of concentration, such as studying, working on the computer, or playing video games, may cause concussion symptoms to reappear or get worse. After a concussion, returning to sports and school is a gradual process that should be carefully managed and monitored by a health care professional.
Remember
Concussions affect people differently. While most athletes with a concussion recover quickly and fully, some will have symptoms that last for days, or even weeks. A more seri-ous concussion can last for months or longer.
It’s better to miss one game than the whole season. For more information on concussions, visit:
