The 1st tournament for the 2004 season will be a 2 Man alternating hole with full handicap. There will be individual closest to the pins on all par 3's. Also there will be an optional gross, net and skins jackpots for whoever is interested. Those side jackpots will be $5 per man. Tee times will start around 10:00 AM and range balls are included in this tournament. The price of this tournament will be $52. The entry deadline is something that needs to be met for all tournaments this year. Most of the courses require 7 to 10 days in advance notice on how many players are participating. This tournament deadline is March 18th. Entry fees and monies must be received by this day. When arriving at the course for the tournament please come and check in so we know everyone is present. USGA handicaps must be paid for 2004 before the May tournament. Also when entering your first tournament you must pay your membership fee. This fee can be paid anytime before the first tournament if you want too. When sending in your membership application, fill in all of the blanks so the board can update any changes from last years information. Also remember if you sign up for internet access, which includes tee times, newsletters and entries your membership fee is $20. If not your membership fee will be $25 and all paperwork will be mailed to you. We are trying to encourage internet mailing to eliminate some of the time factor in getting results and to encourage earlier entries. Also try to persuade others into joining MAGA to boost the number of players. For every new member a $5 rebate will be given to the current member who persuaded the person to join and play. The number of rebates are unlimited.

It is extremely important that your entry is received on time. I will be on vacation during the week of the deadline and my son will be helping in determining how many players we have.
