The SaddleBrooke Men’s Putters invites all men to practice your putting once a week during a congenial competition with other guys. Putt every Thursday morning (10 a.m. in the winter, 9 a.m. in the summer) on the main SaddleBrooke putting green. We putt 18 holes with par 36 and use handicaps to even out the random teams competing for prizes ($3, $2, $1) and have individual gross and net prizes ($5, $3, $1). Pay $1 to putt each week with a $20 membership fee. Try it by putting as a guest for free. Just show up Thursday morning about 20 minutes early.
