President's Message
2023 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Welcome to our club's 59th year. Since its founding in 1964, the Mt. Lebanon Senior Men's Golf Club members have enjoyed playing golf at the historic Mt. Lebanon golf course. Last year we attracted many new members and we are hoping for continued growth this season. Attendance at our weekly and monthly golf events in 2022 was quite good and we are optimistic that 2023 will be even better.
Our schedule of away events will include many of our favorites. The season begins at the traditional place, Chippewa on April 24. Other sites consist of Cedarbrook, Quicksilver, Fort Cherry, and The Madison Club. Continuing our practice, we established last year, the club will provide snacks and a nonalcoholic beverage at the turn at away events. The picnic will again be at Butler's on the Lakeside course. We look forward to having a Kick-Off dinner in the spring and we will have an end the season dinner to honor our event winners for the year.
We will continue to rely on our members-only web site for schedules, member contact information, communications and for tee time sign-ups. The site (Golfleague.us) has many other features we will employ as well.
Over the years, we have recognized that club members tend to play with the same people most the time. While we all enjoy playing with our friends, this results in members not knowing each other. As we did the last 2 years, we will hold mixer-scrambles on our Wednesday golf in May and June with an additional date in July to promote more interaction among members. Additionally, we are sponsoring icebreaker events in March this year at Top Golf and the Mt. Lebanon Golf Course. We are also looking for opportunities to utilize the new pavilion at the Mt. Lebanon course, all with the aim to foster friendships and acquaintances in the member base. Details are included in this booklet. We encourage members to participate and get to know other members.
As president, I, along with the other club officers and committee chairs, look forward to an exciting year of golf. Be sure to invite friends and neighbors who love golf to join us as members.

The Course
A Proud Tradition
Mt. Lebanon's proud tradition of golf dates back to July 4, 1907, when a group of 30 men founded the Castle Shannon Golf Club on a 100-acre farm and persisted with the sport despite having to dodge moving targets, such as cows and horses.
There were no tees or greens; still 30 golfers soon had joined, each paying $5 dues per year and bringing along scythes and lawn mowers to keep the course in playable condition. By 1918, there were 100 members, some rudimentary tees and greens and even a groundskeeper. That original club eventually disbanded, was reorganized, and in the '20s, '30s and '40s was one of the most popular 9-hole courses in the Pittsburgh area.
Among the club's elite members were the financiers Andrew W., and Richard King Mellon, who reportedly rode the trolley to the end of the Castle Shannon line and were transported by horse-drawn carriage to the golf course. Mt. Lebanon purchased the private course in 1947 and reconfigured several holes located in the adjacent Castle Shannon Borough so that the entire course now lies within the boundaries of Mt. Lebanon.
Today the golf course is recognized as the oldest municipal in Pennsylvania. It is now 115 years young !!!!
