GOLF

Don’t miss out on a great experience competing against other country clubs and playing a variety of local courses. If you are 50 or older and retired from at least one occupation, you are eligible to join the league. ANCC fields two separate teams which are very competitive in league play -- one at Arlington and one at Fairfax. Both teams are always looking for new players. During the season the Arlington team will play 12 other teams both home and away for a 24-match season. The Fairfax team will play 10 other teams both home and away for a 20-match season. The League’s season runs from early April through early October. Play is on Thursday mornings and is four-ball match play with a 3-point Nassau, combined with a sweepstakes competition. We use handicaps in all matches and our team members have handicap indexes ranging from the single digits through the mid-thirties. As a team member, you will be assigned to play in at least a third of our matches during the season and may volunteer to play any matches to which you are not assigned. The home club provides practice balls and waives green fees. The home club also provides morning pastries, coffee, and a buffet lunch afterwards. The 2025 Army-Navy teams will be put together 2025 Northern Virginia Retired Men’s Golf Association (NVRMGA)

2025 ANCC Men’s “B” Team & Qualifying Dates

The ANCC Men’s “B” Team competition begins late April and is a great way to meet other ANCC members and play competitive golf against other clubs in the area. The ‘B’ Team is open to all men with course handicaps ranging from 5 to 16. Matches are held on Saturdays and/ or Sundays from late April thru late July (8 matches total) with playoffs held from August thru October. Signups for both tryout dates will begin 1 March 2025. Although you do not need to compete in both tryout dates (we take the best score from either round), however, it is recommended to try to compete in both as to increase your chances of making the team. Tryouts will be held on Saturday, 29 March at FFX, and on Sunday, 6 April at ARL. I have checked the local school spring break calendars to limit conflicts in scheduling and made sure nobody will miss any Masters action as well!
