MAGA

September
2011

Some people have voiced their opinion on the distance of the tees we play for MAGA. In trying to appease the majority of the group we will not separate and play different tees except for the men and women’s tees. Some people because of their age feel they should play the senior tees. Others feel because their handicaps are above 20 they should also play the upper tees. What about the players that are short hitters, do we let them play the front tees also? Or what about the big hitters do we scoot them back to the tips? Where does this stop? So in order to maintain consistency we will continue to play the same tees. If this decision is not acceptable to you I am sorry. Maybe we should play the front tees 1 tournament and also play the tips at another course to see if it matters.

The 7th  tournament of the year was played at Kings Island.

Also on Sunday September 11, 2011 we will play our par 3 Tourney at Armco Park. The format is a two man best ball. Sign up as an individual and you will have a blind draw for teams and foursomes. Also there will be a closest to the pin on all holes for $10 each.  Also we will have hamburgers and hot dogs after the golf. Entry fee for this tourney is $35. Entry fee includes prize money and golf but no carts.

The deadline for these tourneys are a little quick and earlier because Cincinnati Courses require a locked in number 14 days in advance.

If you are not going to get your entry in on time you should call Russ Yenser 513-571-7931 and let him know it is in the mail. Don’t get shut

out, we don’t have that many golfers the way it is now.
