We have filled the target of 32 players for the Fall Trip. If we get at least 3 more who wish to go, we will try to get more rooms but no promises since the deadline to signup has passed. I am attaching the list of those that did signup. The final price per person is $450 minus any credits you have earned by playing with the group each week. The total cost includes 2 nights hotel (2 per 3 b/r unit), 3 rounds of golf, $20 per round prize fund. I will create the list of credit earned up until 9/23/2022 so you have an idea of what your total cost will be. If you earn any credits after the date you pay, you will get a cash refund after final calculation on9/31/22.

I need everyone to look at this list and figure out who the 3 people that will be staying together in the 3 b/r unit. I have a pretty good idea who will be in each unit, but it will ultimately be up to each player to work this out. Please make sure you confirm with the other 2 guys before contacting me. Keep in mind that each unit will have one King bedroom, one Queen bedroom (with bath) and one bedroom with two twin beds. I am leaving it up to you to figure out who gets which bedroom. I will give Buster my best guess with room assignments so you can see my “best guess”.

If you have any questions. please contact Jody

After reading my post I don’t think I made it clear as it relates to signing up. I need anyone interested to signup ASAP even though you don’t have to pay until Sept 1. I need to know how many rooms we will need. On the signup sheet, I will assume you want to share a 3 bedroom/2 bath unit with 2 other golfers. If you have 4 golfers to share a unit or need a smaller unit, please indicate that on the signup sheet or send me email (jbw6025@gmail.com). For those needing a smaller unit the cost will be higher per person.

The site has been selected for our Fall Trip this year. The decision this year was partly based on trying to stay within a cost near to what we have been paying. With inflation this past year, there are some places that have increased more than others. Unfortunately, the nicer the course and accommodations, the bigger the increase from previous years. Here are the details as we know them:

Location: Jekyll Island, GA (Golf Courses • Jekyll Island, Georgia • Vacation, Conservation, and Education Destination)

Dates: October 21-23, 2022

Lodging: Villas by the Sea (Three Bedroom Villa – Villas by the Sea (villasbythesearesort.com))

Cost per person: $450 (based on 3 per unit). Each player will earn a credit equal to $3 for each time played in the MGA since October 1, 2021. Max credit earned is $200. I will supply a list of credits earned as of Sept. 01. (Any credits earned after9/1 will be refunded after 10/1.) Anyone needing a single or double room must let me know ASAP as those units are very limited.

Full payment will be due no later than September 1, 2022

The plan is to play 3 rounds of golf on each day Friday through Sunday. Depending on input from you guys, we will either play all three rounds at Jekyll or we will play Friday on the way down in Jesup and Saturday/Sunday at Jekyll. The rooms we have reserved right now are all very nice 3-bedroom units along the ocean. The rooms consist of 1 King bed, 1 Queen bed, and 2 twin beds. The cost of the units is $360 per night. The number of people sharing each unit will determine the cost per person. Up to 4 people can share a unit. Last time we stayed here, most people split the unit between 3 people, but if you want to share it with 4 you can save $30 each person.

We are looking at $450 per person based on 3 per unit. This includes golf, room and prize fund.

A signup sheet will be posted this week on the bulletin board. Based on previous years we will shoot for 32 golfers. If we have more signup AND pay by the deadline, we might be able to add a few more.
