The format of this tourney will be a two man customized stableford system. Sign up as a twosome. Sign up as a twosome and people will be paired by a blind draw. Like all of our remaining tourneys full handicap will be used.

The deadline for the Wildwood Tournament will be Wednesday October 1st. Entry fee for this tourney is $55 which includes greens fees, carts and prize fund. 

No guests will be permitted to play in this tournament. They must be a paid MAGA member.

This will be the last tournament and all prizes will be distributed. Year end results will also be given on the day of the tournament.

If there are any golf courses you would like to try and play let Russ Yenser or
TJ Cope know and we will try and negotiate a price that will allow us to play them next year.

Also if there is a golf course you would like to drop also let us know that too.

It was brought to my attention that some golfers are lacking in the skills of knowing the rules of golf. If you have a question on a ruling feel free to ask. The commonly misused  and abused rules are the loss of a ball, the proper drop when your ball goes in a direct or lateral hazard and how many strokes penalties you incur. If you can’t find your ball without it going into a hazard you must rehit from your original spot. You can’t drop a ball where you think it might have landed. Also if your ball goes out of bounds you must rehit from your original spot with a penalty. There is no such thing as dropping a ball where it last crossed the out of bounds line.
