MAGA

April
2016

The 2nd tournament of the year was played at Hamilton Elks with 24 players. It was a beautiful day for golf. There was a mistake made by me in selecting the tees. I misread the scorecard and thought there was another set of tees past the blue tees. By the time of the notice the first group had already teed off and we just went with it. It did not hurt that much and everybody played from the same tees.

 

Also don’t  forget to enter your MAGA scores into your USGA Handicap so your  handicaps will be figured accurately. All scores should be entered into your USGA Handicaps. For the people who have not paid for their USGA handicap that needs to be done or you will be penalized for not doing so.  I will adjust your handicap accordingly. If you don't have a paid USGA handicap in the GHIN System by next tournament your handicap will be lowered.

The next tournament will be held at Kings Island on Saturday & Yankee Trace on Sunday. The entry fee is $52 for Saturday and $50 for Sunday. The format is a two man alternate holes on Saturday and a four man triple best ball on Sunday. The date is May 14th and May 15th . The entries are due by May 4th Tee times start around 12:00 on Saturday and around 12:28 on Sunday.

 

If there are any different formats we are not using, give your suggestion to either Russ Yenser or TJ Cope for consideration.

 

After May the following tournaments are scheduled:

 

June 11th               Hueston Woods

July 23rd               Walden Ponds

August 13th          Weatherwax

September 17th    Elks Run

September 18th    Armco Park

October 8th          Wildwood

 

Also there are a couple of other changes that occurred due to some conflicts. The first is the cost of Yankee Trace is lowered to $50 entry fee. Keep in mind that Yankee Trace is having some road work done in front of golf course and you may need to leave a little earlier because of the delays.

 

Second the August tourney scheduled at Weatherwax is changing to August 13th with tee times starting around 9:00.

 

At Hamilton Elks the changing of the tees caused some adjustments in handicaps and also the misadding of the individual scores caused a changing of the totals.
