With the final tournament of the year completed, the status of Weatherwax Golf Course is looking to be ending in November 2016. Many members may need to find another place to establish their USGA handicaps. All members need to have a USGA handicap before the May tournament in 2016 .Unless you are a new member no player will be given a handicap. We do keep MAGA handicaps but they are in addition to your USGA. We use the lower of the two. People who are not getting e-mails need to send your e-mail to TJ Cope so he can add you to the list. With the postponement of the original date at Wildwood it was made up the following Sunday on a nice day for golf. Wildwood was in excellent shape except for a couple sand traps.

This concludes the schedule for the 2015 season. Hope to see all of you next year in the MAGA. The tournaments will run from March through October in the year 2016.

A big issue for me this year was getting your scores posted on your USGA. By not putting in all your scores you may be cheating partners in the blind draw. Some people were penalized for not submitting their scores from MAGA Tournaments.  These can be put in on the internet from home with your name and GHIN number. It only takes a minute or two. There were a few scores recorded in an individual’s GHIN. You must supply your current GHIN before playing a MAGA Tourney next year. If you switch location of your GHIN handicap take your current number with you and have that transferred.

Hope to see you next year and bring a friend to increase the number of members. Remember if you are a single and looking for a partner there were many tournaments when another single also needed one. Sign up and we can try to pair you.

Also remember that there is money given to each of the 3 categories for the year. By not playing that gives the ones that do an advantage.

Next years courses and formats will be determined at a later time.
