Format Change Reminder – Beginning 2/5/2022

Beginning in February 2022, all matches on Saturday will be points based peer-play matches. The 1st, 3rd and 5th Saturday of each month will be peer-play with a random draw for team scoring. The 2nd Saturday of each month will be peer-play and you pick your own team. The 4th Saturday of each month will be peer-play with an individual points payout only.  

It was also determined that enough members enjoy the shambles and scrambles to retain these formats. Therefore, beginning in February 2022, the Saturday matches when we currently play a shamble (3rd wknd) or scramble (5th wknd) will be moved to the Sunday match of the same weekend. 

Ballot/Survey Results

There were 54 responses to the ballot/survey that was completed last week. Here are the results;

  • How should we determine the picking order for captains?
    • 32 votes for “Use Average Score” = 59%
    • 22 votes for “Pull Pills” = 41%
  • Do you wish to add 2 additional at-large members to the BOD?
    • 36 votes for “Yes” = 67%
    • 18 votes for “No” = 33%
  • Do you have any suggestions where you would like to see us go for our Fall Trip in 2022?
    • The Georgia coast (Jekyll or Saint Simons Island) was the most popular response.
    • Callaway Gardens and Robert Trent Jones Trail were the 2nd and 3rd most popular responses.
    • We had one vote each for Sawgrass and Hawaii. We may be able to send one person to Hawaii. My vote is for the MGA President.

Thanks to everyone that responded. See your local MGA BOD member if you have any questions.
