SIR GOLF

SIR (Sons in Retirement) has some great golfing opportunities for you!

From 18 hole events on local and private courses to 9 or 18 hole short-course events to our very popular couples events, we have it all.  Most of our Branches (clubs) have an affiliated NCGA Associate Golf Club.  Most branches play at least once a week at various local courses. Our members enjoy playing with people from their own Branch as well as from other Branches in many different formats from Low Net, 2&4 Man Best Ball, 4 Man Scrambles, and numerous other golf game formats.   In addition, many of our branches offer away tournaments for all SIR Branch golf members.  Each year the SIR State Golf program offers several two and/or three-day events in various locations such as Reno, Napa, Monterey, Solvang, and other locations.  We try to vary the locations from year to year to give our members a variety of golf experiences.  Golf tournaments and side trips are also provided for the Ladies, should they want to accompany you.

Every year in August the SIR State Golf program holds a State Scramble Team Championship to determine the best golf team in our organization.  There are Area events held prior to this event to determine the teams which will be invited to the finals.  In October we also hold Individual Net Championship to determine the best golfers in SIR by flight based on a player index.  Area and Division qualifying tournaments are held at various locations to determine participation in the Individual  Championships.  Both tournaments are organized by the SIR State Golf Committee made up of 12 members from all of the SIR Golf programs throughout the organization.  Check the SIR State Golf website (https://www.sirgolf.org) for our current schedule information. So Come Join Us!  All our tournaments are handicapped and flighted.  It’s all about having fun for golfers of all abilities.

So what exactly is this organization called “SIR”?

SIR (Sons in Retirement) is a men’s club that offers a variety of different social activities for their members and spouses or significant others.  Our Mission is to improve the lives of our members through fun activities and events while making “New Friends for Life”!  SIR is a term we use to collectively refer to our parent 501(c)(4) corporation, Sons In Retirement, Incorporated, which was founded in 1959 (referred to as the State Organization) and 100+ independent 501(c)(4) corporations referred to our Branches.  We currently have 105 branches with over 11,500 members spread out through Northern and Central California from Bakersfield to Redding and from Lake Tahoe to the Pacific Ocean.  Our only member expectations are that you have some free time to enjoy all the activities we offer, that you be a friendly and sociable guy, that you try to participate in our luncheons and many activities, and that you try to introduce your friends and neighbors to our wonderful organization so they can join in the fun. We are a volunteer organization, so our members need to help out when asked if they can.  Each Branch has monthly luncheon meetings where you can catch up with old friends and establish new ones.  Speakers are invited to talk on a large variety of topics of interest from health, outdoor activities, life experiences, travel, books, and current events. Most of our Branches have a summer BBQ and a Winter Holiday party where wives, partners, and guests are invited to attend.

As previously mentioned, each Branch offers many other activities besides golf, activities such as bowling, travel, bocce, bridge, poker, walking, hiking, computers, dining out, wine tasting, and investing. Our list of activities and events is almost endless, and many are coed.  If there is an activity you are passionate about and the branch you join doesn’t offer it, we will help you start it and involve others. Come join us and be part of the fun – and, better yet, “Make New Friends for Life”.
