The next tournament will be held at Weatherwax Golf Course.  The date of this tournament will be September 13th & 14th with tee times starting at 11:30 AM. The format of this tourney will be two separate tourneys in one. Saturdays format will be two man single best ball. Sundays format will be two man 6/6/6. The first six will be single best ball, the second six will be a two man scramble and the last six will be a two man alternating shots. The only explanation is for the last six. The last six will have both members teeing off, then taking the shot of your choice. Once you select the shot you will alternate all remaining shots for that hole until you finish that hole. If you play both days your scores will be added together for an additional two day prize. If you only play one day you are only entitled for the prizes for that day. On Saturday all side games will exist like normal. On Sunday the only side game will be a skins game costing each play.

The deadline for the Weatherwax Tournament will be Thursday September 4th. Entry fee for this tourney is $40 for a single day or $75 for both days which includes greens fees and prize fund only. No carts are included with this tournament.

 

If you prepay or pay at the golf course for side games make sure you put your name on the right sheet or you will not be entered in that side game. It is the responsibility of the golfer to make sure his or her name is on the sheet if they paid for that side game. The

next time you will not be included if your name is not on the sheet.

There are only two dates remaining for MAGA events. One in September at Weatherwax and the other in October at Heatherwoode.

 

Leaders in the overall categories for the year can be seen on the website.

 

If there are any new or old courses you would like to play next year let Russ Yenser know so I can check prices and availability for next year. Also if there is another type of format or one you like this year let that be known too.

 

In leaving I would like to thank Mike Sowders for his cooperation in MAGA. He has been forced to move to New Mexico for work related reasons.
