Players who do not participate in a scheduled round receive no points for that round.
At the end of the season:

If players tie in the final Gold Cup standings, the prize money will be split equally among the
tied players.

League Committee Authority

The League Committee and officers have the authority to interpret these rules and resolve any
disputes regarding scoring, eligibility, or competition results. All decisions made by the League
Committee will be final and binding.

October 4, 2026
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS – ELECTION OF LEAGUE OFFICERS
Under the bylaws of the Marine Park Seniors Golf League, Inc. (the "MP Seniors"), the membership must elect League Officers before the start of the 2027 season. Officers serve a two-year term, so those elected will serve through the 2027 and 2028 seasons.
Current (interim) Officers
Since the League was formed, an interim organizing committee has served as the Board of Directors. As the bylaws provide, its members chose among themselves who would fill the officer roles:
 President: Jon Rygh
Vice President: Paul Griffith
Treasurer: Gordon Hatchett (replacing Bob Vito)
Secretary: Bob Bergen
2026 Committee Chairs (appointed by the President)
 Tournament Committee: Jon Rygh
Tee Times: Sean O'Brien
Handicap Committee: Chris Pacifico
Membership Committee: Femi Falebita
Outings Committee and Volunteers: Paul Griffith
Social and Events: Bob Vito (now retired)
This season showed that a vibrant League depends on a full slate of Officers, an active Board, and willing committee chairs and volunteers.
The Election
The four League Officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary) will be elected at the end-of-season Awards Luncheon on Wednesday, November 4. Members who cannot attend will be able to vote online. Details will be sent with the list of nominees.
Committee chairs are not elected. They are appointed by the President. If you'd like to help on a committee, please let us know at any time.
How to Nominate
You may nominate yourself or another active member for any Officer position. Current Officers may also be nominated, in the same way as any other member. Each nomination must include:
The name of the nominee and the office they are nominated for
The name of an active member who seconds the nomination
A statement that the nominee accepts the nomination
A brief explanation of why the nominee wants to serve, or should serve, in that office
Send nominations by email to marineparkseniorleague@gmail.com no later than October 14.
All valid nominations will be posted on the GLS site and emailed to members by October 17.
