REGISTRATION LINK – Flag Day Registration
TEE TIMES – Member Times
ENTRY FEE – $25.00 per player
Flag Tourney features individual, 18 hole, stroke play format in which golfers begin the round of golf with an allotment of strokes, then play until those strokes run out. Flags are given to competitors before the round. The golfers stick those flags in the ground at the point from which their ball comes to rest on their final shot allotted. The golfer who stakes his flag the farthest around the course is the winner.
Here’s an example: Let’s say your allotment is 75 strokes. You play the golf course until you hit your 75th shot, which, let’s say, comes to rest on the 16th fairway. That’s where you plant your flag, on the place your ball came to rest on your final stroke. If no other player’s flag is planted beyond yours (say, on the 16th green or 17th tee box) you are the winner.
DETERMINING STROKE ALLOTMENT – Full handicap (100%) will determine the stroke allotment. Using full handicaps, a golfer playing Poland Spring, a par-71 golf course and who has a course handicap of 14, for example, receives 85 strokes (71 for the course’s par rating plus 14 for the golfer’s handicap) as his tournament stroke allotment.
Using full handicaps often means that several golfers will reach the end of 18 holes with strokes left to use. In that event, all players with strokes remaining would go back to the No. 1 hole and keep playing until the stroke allotment is reached.
ELIGIBILTY – Flag Tourney is open to all Poland Spring Members with active GHIN handicap.
PURSE – The golfer who stakes his flag the farthest around the course is the winner. Winners will be awarded prize money, determined by finishing position, in the form of Pro Shop Credit. All Pro Shop Credit must be used by October 15th. .

Maine Golf Play Days are fun and competitive one-day events that give members the chance to play at golf courses all around the state of Maine. From April to October, we offer men’s and women’s one-day tournaments open to players of all abilities. All players that belong to a Maine Golf member club and have an active Handicap Index® are eligible to play in these fun events.
While these tournaments are more laid back and informal than our championship events, by no means are they without fun and competition! Play Days take place all across the state and have varied formats throughout the season to keep things interesting from spring to fall.

Vision and legacy of the Gerber’s
“In 1977, brothers Saul and Phil Gerber were both members of the Maine Seniors. The Maine Seniors was the only senior golf association in the state and membership was limited to their member courses of Portland, Augusta, York and Martindale. The outside waiting list was ten years. They decided to do something about it so that their seniors friends from Riverside, Purpoodock and other courses in southern Maine would be able to play senior tournaments. They enlisted the help of Purpoodock members Joe Alberti and Buzzer Feeney and starter to sign up seniors from surrounding courses.
The first year courses were Riverside, Purpoodock, Willowdale, Biddeford-Saco, Cape Arundel, Webhannet, Gorham and York. The golf courses were almost empty on Tuesday’s and they welcomed the additional play. A light lunch was included with golf and forty-five years later the association and good times on the links still exist.
Saul passed away in 1993 and his son John assisted his uncle Phil in continuing to organize the tournaments. With the passing of Phil in 1996, John expanded the membership and added other golf courses in southern Maine and has run the tournaments for the past twenty-eight years.
I think, with my father’s vision, thousands of golfers, both amateur and professional, have enjoyed senior golf through the years.”
John Gerber, 2021
The Rogers Family organized the Ryan Rogers Memorial Golf Tournament as a means of raising funds to support The Ryan Rogers Samaritan Fund at Saint Joseph’s College. It was also designed as a fitting tribute to Ry’s love of the game of golf, and serves as another means of drawing family and friends together in genuine Ry fashion. The 1st annual tournament was held in October of 2021 and raised over $43,000.

We Need Your Help Saving Maine’s Heritage For Future Generations
The Maine Heritage Scramble is played on our beautiful and challenging classic Donald Ross-designed golf course, with views of the White Mountains and bordering lakes. Optional period attire, plentiful food, longest drive contests, and bagpipe music add to the experience. We believe Arthur Fenn and Donald Ross, our golf course architects, would approve.
As in the past, this year’s tournament proceeds will be used for the preservation of the Maine State Building and the All Souls Chapel.
In advance of the event, we are asking for your commitment to be one of our golfers, sponsors, or donors to the silent auction. Please call us for sponsor opportunity information.
We thank you for your interest in and support of the Poland Spring Preservation Society’s mission in preserving Maine’s history and traditions.
