New Annapolitan Golf

We are a group of supportive golfers who welcome players of all levels, and who have a general knowledge of golf rules, pace of play, and golf etiquette.

We play every Thursday from April to October at nearby golf courses, weather permitting. Our objective is to have fun, and to enjoy the outdoors and each other while playing. We are happy to welcome new members to our group.

Monthly events include:  visits to public and private gardens, indoor and outdoor spaces, gardening events and learning/sharing opportunities related to gardening, wildlife habitats, environmental improvement and land and water preservation/restoration. 

We welcome all members, new or veteran, who share these passions.

New Annapolitans - New Adventures (NANAs)

NANAs (New Annapolitans New Adventures) Interest group (IG) meets weekly for walks in and around Annapolis to share in fitness activities and to socialize with others. .

Join us for weekly walking opportunities throughout the year! This group is a great place to meet new friends, learn about the area, and experience a new adventure. Tuesday and Wednesday walks are between 3-5 miles depending on the venue and leader (and sometimes, weather). The walks typically start at 9:00 am, but the time can vary depending on the walk leader. The pace is moderate to brisk on both days, and walks range from trail walking to pavement walks.

Tuesday walks vary in destination from Annapolis to county parks further afield. They can be a walk through a wooded path or through a neighborhood with stunning vistas. The Tuesday walks are led by volunteers from the NANA’s walking group.

Wednesday walks are an opportunity to see the various neighborhoods in the Annapolis area. Georgina Hammond manages the Wednesday walks every week. FYI: The Wednesday walking group does not walk as fast as the Tuesday group, but they do walk quickly, covering about four miles in an hour and a half.

Details for all walks are in weekly emails sent to the NANA’s distribution list. If interested in walking, please reply to the leader of the walk, not to the e-mail sender. Thank you.

No dogs are allowed on any walks. Sensible sturdy shoes and a hat are recommended, bring water if desired.

Paddle Battle

Join us for a friendly, slightly competitive game of singles pickleball for NA members only.  We play on Wednesday afternoons at 2:00, place TBD. Location will be sent by email when members sign up.
