MAGA

March
2005

With the temperature on the cool side it is about time to start golfing. Below is a list of the 2005 schedule and formats. Most tournaments will run between $45 to $59. That price includes golf, carts and prize fund. Some courses will supply driving range balls. Again this year prizes will be awarded for the accumulated totals for Money Winners, Net Points and Gross Points. All tournaments will count in tabulating the year end totals .There are some course changes for this season.  We will add Legendary Run, Walden Ponds and Wildwood while losing Beavercreek, Moss Creek and Hickory Woods. Some of the courses lost were because of the higher price they wanted to charge MAGA. Information for this year and past can be obtained by going to MAGA website of  WWW.TJCOPE.NET/MAGA

The 1st tournament for the 2005 season will be a 4 Man Double Best Ball 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 $53. 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 16th. Entry fees and monies must be received by this day. Note that all tournament deadlines have changed to Wednesday Night instead of Thursday. 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 2005 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.
