2012

The 1st  tournament of the 2012 year was held at Walden Ponds. We had 32 golfers for the first tournament. Remember to sign up for your handicap cards as soon as possible.

 

To start out the year right Jim Flannery recorded his first hole in one on Tuesday March  27, 2012 only to follow it up with a hole in one on #2 hole at Walden Ponds on March  31, 2012. The hole played 170 yards and he used a #4 Hybrid. Congratulations to Jim. This is the 4th hole in one to be recorded on record for a MAGA Tournament.

Like all our remaining tourneys full handicap will be used. All players need to pay for their handicaps so they can be found in the GHIN System. Scores must be posted at your respective courses.

 

For the new members there are optional side pots that consist of low gross, low net and skins. If a person didn’t have a paid handicap for the first tourney he should get one before the next date. Get your handicap cards paid before the next tournament.
