MAGA

March
2010

The 2010 MAGA Season has started with an addition to another new course never played by MAGA. That course is Blue Ash Golf. We have scheduled more tournaments this year than ever before in the past. Let me know if this is too many and we will cut back next year. You don’t have to play in everyone but it will help you for the yearly totals. Hopefully we can add a few more members this year along with keeping the old ones. This year we will be playing Armco Park again because it received favorable feedback with the picnic afterwards.

Below is a list of the 2010 schedule and formats. 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 2010 season will be a 2 Man Best Ball with full handicap. There will be individual closest to the pins on all par 3’s. Tee times will start around 10:00 AM. The price of this tournament will be $55. 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 17th . 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 except for Blue Ash whos entry must be in 14 days from tournament. 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 2010 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. 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.  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.
