The first tournament of the year started out with a small field of 20 golfers. I thought the weather was cold and non golf weather.

This started with a few concerns and rules to be followed this year. The deadline for entry into tournaments is 10 days prior to the date of play. That means if mailing entries it sometimes takes 7 to 10 days to get to the post office. So get them in early. If you don’t want to mail they can be dropped off at my home address.

 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. If you don’t have a handicap in the Ghin System an adjustment will be made and it will lower your strokes.

The big winner of this tournament was Steve Goertemller who had the one and only skin in the whole group. He parred #13. That skin paid $100.

Make sure you post your MAGA scores in your ghin handicap after our tournaments. I will randomly check to see if scores were entered.

For the people who have trouble getting their entry in on time, you need to make sure it gets in the mail ahead of time to be received by Wednesday so I can get the entries before Thursday. Because of slow mail now remember to mail your entries in early. Allow at least 7 to 10 days before due date.
