MAGA

March
2008

The 2008 MAGA Season is just around the corner. Hopefully we will add a few new players and get some of the old ones to play a little more. We will be adding one new course from last year. The new course will be Moss Creek in September. The first tournament of the year will be Stonelick Hills. Also at Stonelick we may play an additional nine at no cost if there is openings to play after the tournament.  Below is a list of the 2008 schedule and formats. The courses this year are the same because of scheduling and price charged to us by the course. Some are not economical to play. Most tournaments will run between $45 to $59. 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. Information for this year and past can be obtained by going to MAGA website of WWW.TJCOPE.NET/MAGA

The 1st tournament for the 2008 season will be a 2 Man Alternate Holes 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 9:00 AM. The price of this tournament will be $58. 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 12th . Entry fees and monies must be received by this day. Note that all tournament deadlines are Wednesday Night 10 days in advance of the tournaments. 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 2008 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. If a person has been a member in the past, he is not a guest. This applies to people who have moved out of state and are back visiting or a brand new player who has never played in the MAGA.
