Standish, Maine — Monks Map Out a Full 2025 Fall Golf Slate

Hold onto your golf caps — the Saint Joseph’s College men’s team is teeing up a jam-packed fall, with a 15-event schedule stretched across seven weeks. The slate mixes classic local stops, a couple of rugged road swings, and the two big postseason tests every New England small-college program watches closely: the GNAC and NEIGA championships.

Quick vibe check

This is not a warm-up tour. The Monks will play a range of formats and course styles — from scramble fun to championship setups — and they’ll do it quickly. Two home stops at Point Sebago anchor the schedule and give the team familiar terrain to work on in the lead-up to conference play.

How the calendar unfolds

The fall opens on August 29 with the USM Tri-Match at Riverside Golf Course in Portland. Early September brings the emotional annual John Queenan Memorial at Point Sebago on September 3, a tournament that has become a meaningful early-season fixture. A few days later, the USM Cup (a scramble with a Ryder Cup-style twist) arrives on September 6 back at Riverside.

After the Husson Eagle Invitational at Bangor Municipal on September 13, the Monks hit a brutal stretch in mid-to-late September. That run starts with the Albertus Magnus Invitational on September 18 in New Haven, Connecticut — a tune-up that doubles as a practical preview for the GNAC Championship, which will be staged at New Haven Country Club in mid-October.

The team will play five events in eight days during that period, including trips to Waterville Country Club for both the Colby Invitational (September 20) and the UMaine-Farmington Invitational (September 21). Other stops include Augusta Country Club for the Maine Maritime Mariner Invitational on September 23, Presque Isle Country Club for UMaine-Presque Isle on September 25, and the SMCC Seawolves Shootout at Purpoodock Country Club in Cape Elizabeth on September 30.

October: home, then the gauntlet

October starts with the USM Husky Classic at Riverside on October 5, followed by the University of New England Invitational at Cape Arundel Country Club on October 9. Saint Joseph’s hosts the Monks Invitational at Point Sebago on October 11 — the second home test and one teams often use to iron out final lineup decisions.

The postseason surge begins October 13-14 with the GNAC Championship at New Haven Country Club. The Monks arrive aiming to edge past their 2024 runner-up finish and chase the conference crown under third-year head coach Don Flanagan. The fall wraps with the NEIGA Championship at The Captains Golf Course in Brewster, Massachusetts on October 18-19, a regional event that typically draws a deep field and sets the bar for spring expectations.

Why this schedule matters

• Depth test: Multiple back-to-back events will force the Monks to show roster depth and stamina.
• Course variety: From coastal Cape Arundel to inland New Haven layouts, players will face a full toolbox of shot-making demands.
• Conference focus: Early-season events like Albertus Magnus serve as direct previews of GNAC setups and competition.
• Home advantage: Two Point Sebago events give the team a chance to fine-tune on familiar turf before the big October championships.

Coach and team angle

Under the guidance of third-year head coach Don Flanagan, this roster looks to convert last year’s strong finish into a title push. The schedule is demanding by design: it’s meant to sharpen competitive edges, build mental toughness, and reveal which players can be counted on when every stroke matters.
