There was a total of 36 players at Grand Oak for this tournament.

The next tournament is at Hueston Woods Golf Club. This tournament will be played on June 2^nd  with tee times starting around 7:30 AM.

The format for this tournament will be a three person best ball. Sign up as a twosome or a foursome but only two of your four players will be playing in the same group.

In this last tournament we added another two new members who hadn’t yet played in MAGA. We hope this list continues to grow throughout the year. In our last tournament we had a blind draw for pairings. Although this process is not liked by everyone it does allow our members to play and meet others in the MAGA that they do not normally play with or know. We will continue to have blind drawings for tee pairings.

This tournament and the ones to follow, you must have an established, paid handicap or you will have to play scratch. Most courses will make you inactive in their handicap systems if you are not paid before May. A MAGA handicap is not sufficient to determine a players handicap. There may be some exceptions to this rule but the player had better moved in from out of state.

Here is a remaining schedule:

June 2nd                  Hueston Woods

July 21st                  Walden Ponds

August 18th           Pipestone

September 23rd     

September 24th      Weatherwax

The deadline for this tournament is May 24^th. Hueston Woods require us to tell them a number of players before Saturday May 25^th. There is a limit on how many players we can have for this tournament so don’t get shutout.

The price for this tournament is $39 which does not include cart or range balls. Get carts inside pro shop for $11.50.

In an effort to get information to the members TJ Cope has developed a website with information about past and future tournaments. Log on if you have internet and check it out. We will try to put tee times on the site for the upcoming Hueston Woods Tournament. If you do not have a computer or internet call Russ Yenser for your tee time after Tuesday. The internet sites are

MAGA.TJCOPE.NET or

There have been a few individuals who call days before our tournament to see if we have any openings. If you want to play get your entries in early. After the deadline there is no guarantee you can be put in. On your scorecards make sure to circle all natural birdies to help the people in figuring skins. Mail your entries with your money to help the people running the tournament and allow them some time to practice or hit balls.

On the back is a list of the top 10 or 15 players in each of the three categories for year end awards. Don’t forget prizes will be given to the members who are leading at the end of the year.
