I wanted to give everyone a heads up on what our thoughts are on our annual Fall golf trip. We are working with a couple of courses in Athens, GA area. We have tentatively set the dates to be Sept. 06-07, 2014. These dates and the location are not set in stone but this is the most likely scenario. As in the past, the MGA will use the money collected during the weekly matches to subsidize as much as possible. It will depend on how many are able to make the trip as to how much it will cost each person. In the past we have been able to spend about $3K for the trip. This fund will be spread out over the number of players that sign up. Once we have finalized the date and location we will post a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board. We have not yet negotiated with local hotels, but will be working on that in the next  couple of weeks.

Keep an eye on this website for updates.

Thanks to all those that participated in what was our 1st Annual 2 Man Best Ball Tournament.

For those that missed this event, we hope you will be able to join us the next time. This was a CASH payout tournament. Bob Fisher was generous to boost the prize fund by adding $1600 out of his pocket. Be sure to share with Bob your appreciation.

Although every effort was made to ensure the handicaps were accurate and fair, there are always a few that disagree, but that is the nature of a handicap tournament. For those that did not have an official handicap in the system, I encourage you to sign up for an official handicap so you will not be at the mercy of the tournament committee.
