MAGA

May
2017

The 1st tournament of the year was played at Hamilton Elks with 24 players. It was a nice day for what they initially predicted the weather to be. The course played a little tough and the sores indicated it. It was good to see a few past members who haven’t played in a while and a couple new members played. We hope they continue to play and bring some more players with them. I thought the course was in pretty good shape for this early in the year except that the greens were hard and didn’t hold, but then again I never hit any of them. With people having handicaps at a bunch of different locations this year don’t forget to enter your MAGA scores at the appropriate locations. You can enter these scores and others from your computer at GHIN.com. All you need is your ghin number and your name on the post score tab.

 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.

 For the people who have trouble getting their entry in on time, you need to make sure it gets in the mail on Monday so I can get the entries before Thursday. We are hoping to get more golfers but do not want to cut others from getting in. Remember if you do not have a handicap in the GHIN System by next tournament I

will decrease your handicap from what it may be if you had a handicap. If you have money coming to you from the last tournament you can send in the difference for the upcoming entry fees. Also if you did not pay your membership fee it is also due. And last but not least, if you have not filled out an updated application or have got your ghin number at a different location, pull one of the website and send it with your entry so I can update the records with new ghin numbers and e-mails.
