Denver Golf changes policy on Gift Certificates at pro shops
We've been informed that the city is limiting how you can use your gift certificate winnings at Denver pro shops. Moving forward, gift certificates can only be used to purchase merchandise. This means, you will NOT be able to use gift certificates toward greens fees, range balls, or cart fees. This applies to all Denver Golf courses, not just Kennedy.
As a reminder, Kennedy Men's Club offers the option to receive your tournament winnings as credit with the Club instead of Gift Certificates at Denver Golf. This option allows you to use your winnings to pay for KMC tournaments including tournament greens fees. You can always cash out your KMC credit at any time. Please note that the USGA has restrictions on tournament winning payouts in regards to amateur status. Please read the rules on maintaining amateur status if you are considering playing in CGA or USGA sanctioned tournaments.
Because of this change, we are anticipating a number of members will want to reverse their payout option for 2026. So, next time you login to your KMC account, you will be asked to confirm your payout election. To be clear, we do not endorse either method of payout, but given the significance of this change by the city, we want to give you the ability to change your election if you so choose.
Vote on the final two design themes for the Kennedy Clubhouse!
Thanks in part to your input, the city has narrowed the design themes to two finalists. They now want your input to decide which one is best for Kennedy. Click here to vote now! The deadline to vote is March 31st.

Adam is our Stroke Play Club Champion with a gross two day total of 150. He bested Jeff Parden and Bob Knutson by two strokes.

Jeff is our Championship Flight Club Champion with an incredible two day total of 134. He blew away the field and was in contention for the gross club champion.

Michael is our Kennedy Flight Club Champion with a two day total of 139. He was tied with Andrew Troxel after regulation and won in a playoff on the first hole.

Jeff is our President's Flight Club Champion with a two day total of 138. He was tied with Steve Park after regulation and won the playoff on the first hole.

Dave is our Vice President's Flight Club Champion with a two day total of 143. He edged out Andrew Cole by 2 strokes.
Recently, a piece of equipment was discovered in the Kennedy Men's Club that should serve as a reminder to everyone to please watch out for equipment that violates the rules of golf.
Specifically, the LINASHI Golf Green Slope Marker, which claims to be "professional," is in fact a non-compliant ball marker that contains a ball level. This is where the issue lies:
According to USGA Rule 4.3, ball markers must not include any features designed to measure or interpret conditions like slope or green speed. Thus, the above referenced ball marker or anything similar is not permitted in Kennedy Men’s Club tournaments.
Please reach out to a Board member if you have any questions!
The Board has decided that beginning with the Two Man Two Day tournament, all players are required to attest their score online after the round. If you do not attest your score, you will be disqualified from that round! If you need help attesting your score, please see a committee member following your round, we are happy to help you with the process.
You may take relief from any tree with wire fencing around the trunk ONLY IF the tree or fencing interferes with your stance or swing. There is NO relief if your shot (line of sight to the hole) is impacted by the tree.
Look for new white painted drop areas on #6, #13, #15, and #18. Beware that the drop areas for #6 and #18 have moved and are no longer the white tee boxes. As a reminder, on #6 and #18 you may use the drop zones after your SECOND SHOT enters the penalty area. On #13 and #15, you may use the drop areas after your TEE SHOT enters the penalty area.
For those who were able to play this past weekend in our two events honoring our late friends James and George, we hope you had a great time! We were treated with some great weather, and a golf course that's in the best shape we've seen in years. While the recent rain has helped with course conditions, what you may not know is that there's renewed effort by golf course staff to improve conditions. This is great news, and we're hopeful this passion continues! However, not all maintenance is the responsibility of golf course staff, it's YOUR responsibility to be a steward of our home course as well. So we kindly ask you to respect the golf course in the following ways:
Golf carts SHOULD NEVER be taken off cart paths where cart paths exist. This means:
Players must pair up in golf carts.
We all must repair course damage created by playing the game. This means:
Gentlemen, do not treat the above as optional. Respecting the course is mandatory! For those who don't comply with the above, remember that Kennedy Golf Course staff reserves the right to remove a cart, or player during any event! The KMC Board can also take disciplinary action (including removal from the club) against a player who woefully ignores the above. By following these guidelines you not only show respect to the course, you show it to your playing partners, the golf course staff, and everyone else who plays the course.
Along those lines, pace of play is also an important part of respecting your fellow golfers. We are very proud to say that NO groups were penalized for slow play this past weekend! That's great, and we need to continue that effort. Please keep it up!
It's important to remember, we do not have the right to play Kennedy, or any of the other courses we play throughout the year, and no member should ever expect "special privileges" because he is a member of the Kennedy Men's Club. It's up to ALL OF US to set an example of how to respect and maintain the golf course we play. Kennedy is our home, let's show the course respect.
To those of you who already adhere to the above, THANK YOU!
The Men's Club Board has voted to implement a new rule intended to allow relief to players who wish to putt from just off the green, but have a sprinkler head interfering with their line-of-play. It may be used for other immovable obstructions following these guidelines:
Relief from interference by an immovable obstruction may be taken under Rule 16.1
Exception – No Relief If Line of Play Clearly Unreasonable. There is no relief under this Local Rule if the player chooses a line of play that is clearly unreasonable.
(This rule is also detailed on the Local Rules page.)
