Message from the Executive Secretary
The Free State Seniors Golf Association is the oldest senior golf association in Maryland. We are very
excited about what this year holds for all of us. You can show your commitment for the 2025 season by
renewing your membership. Please send a check made out to "Free State Seniors" to 37 Hayride Lane,
Taneytown, MD, 21787. The dues are just $65.
Your prompt response and commitment to the Free State Seniors Golf Association enables us to not
only run the current season, but it also allows us to plan for next year. Thank you to all who participated
in our 2024 schedule. If you were unable to play last year, we hope that you can join us in 2025. We
have a very exciting schedule with some new courses and a return to some old favorites. Please check
out our 2025 schedule in the Tournament section of this website. We are all looking forward to our
opening tournament when Free State travels to South River Country Club.
Please continue to recruit new members to the Free State Seniors Golf Association. We are always
looking for a few more good men to replace those who leave for various reasons. Anyone applying for
membership this winter will be admitted into the Association before the beginning of the golf season in
2025. As always, our best recruiter is YOU! Please share your experiences with your friends and all
qualified members at your club and encourage them to join our organization.
If you have any suggestions or ideas that you feel will improve our Association, please contact me or any
member of the Board of Directors.
Thank you for all your cooperation and support during 2023. I believe we are all looking forward to a
great season on the course this coming year!
