MAGA

June
2016

The 3rd & 4th tournaments of the year was played at Kings Island & Yankee Trace. The weather was brisk too say the least on both days. All MAGA scores should be entered by the individual after MAGA tournaments. If I do not see the scores by June 1st I will enter them for you if they are going to have an effect on your handicap. We use the lower of the 2 USGA and MAGA.

There also has been some concern about the distances we play from. In an effort to please the majority I have tried to keep the distances between 6100 to 6200 yards. With the majority of our group between 50 and 70 years old, we don’t want to play too long. Although there are a few golfers who can’t reach the par 4’s in two shots we still want the others to enjoy their rounds too. So we will all play the same tees, except for women, for future tournaments. It would be impossible to allow players by age or abilities to play a different set of tees.

In an effort to get information to the members TJ Cope has developed a website. The web page site is:

The deadline for the Hueston Woods Tournament will be Wednesday June 1st . Entry fee for this tourney is $45 per man which includes greens fee and prize fund. Carts are not included in this price. You must pay for your own. The tee times will start around 9:00 AM. This is a 2 man both balls. You can sign up as a twosome or a foursome if you want to play with someone. Individuals who do not have partners need to send in their money if they want to play too. I will try and pair them together if possible.

As we found out people who did not have a paid USGA handicap card was penalized from the last 2 tournaments. With this warning in place everyone is expected to have a handicap for the rest of the year.
