As we head into the colder months, we wanted to give everyone a chance to mark their calendars for our upcoming offseason tournaments through the holidays and into the new year. This year, we’ll be granting the turkeys a pardon and taking a break from November’s Turkey Shootout, instead going all-in on questionable outfits and tremendous fun at the Ugly Sweater Tournament on Saturday, December 12th! We’ll also be continuing our long-running New Year’s Day tradition with the Mike Miller Tournament on January 1st, 2027. Looking further ahead, stay tuned for a potential 2-player team tournament in February, followed by the Jack Brady St. Patrick’s Day Open on March 13th.
Here’s what’s on the calendar:
Ugly Sweater Tournament — Saturday, December 12th: 4-player teams competing in a variety of fun, hole-specific formats. We’ll also be collecting donations via Venmo for Toys for Tots.
Mike Miller Tournament — Friday, January 1st: Our traditional New Year’s Day event featuring 4-player shamble teams with both individual and team leaderboards.
February Tournament — TBD: A potential 2-player team event. Details to come as we get closer to February!
Jack Brady St. Patrick’s Day Open — Saturday, March 13th: 4-player teams for a great day of traditional scramble fun!
We hope everyone enjoys some great November golf, and we look forward to kicking off the offseason tournament schedule with a fantastic turnout on December 12th for the glory of the Ugly Sweater Tournament. Sign-ups will open in the next few weeks, so stay tuned!
Last Sunday, we closed out the 2026 MGA tournament season with a day that reminded us what makes NGC special. Former members and guests joined us to see how much the course has improved, and it was awesome to have everyone together for a great day of golf, camaraderie, and celebration.
First and foremost, thank you to our superintendent Steve and his entire crew. In just over two months, they’ve made a remarkable difference across the course, and their hard work has given us all so much to feel excited about. We were happy to come together as a membership to show Steve and his crew how much we appreciate everything they’ve done. Thank you to everyone who helped make that possible!
A big thank you to Mimi and Germame for taking care of us with pre-round shots and a fantastic Member Appreciation Lunch. Thank you to Christine for keeping everyone refreshed out on the course, to Ryan for holding down the Pro Shop, and to Meilani for the care she puts into coordinating the event setup and capturing photos of our champions. And thank you to Chuck for the fantastic magazine covers, as always!
To everyone who came out, supported NGC, and helped make this season what it was — thank you. Days like Sunday are a reminder of how much this group and this little course mean to so many of us.
🏆 Tournament Results
On the course, Eric Stephens put together a terrific round to claim the Net title with 39 Stableford points. On the Gross side, Jim Sussmann and Matt Doherty each posted stellar 36 point tallies to share the win. Well played, gentlemen!
Net Leaderboard
1st – Eric Stephens (39 net Stableford) – 80 Chase Points
2nd – Phil Martin (38 net Stableford) – 70 Chase Points
In the end, our exciting Points Chase battle came down to Chuck Roster and Jim Sussmann, who started the day separated by less than two points. Playing together, Chuck put up a tremendous fight, but Jim came out of the gates hot with a string of Front 9 birdies on his way to a share of the Closing Day title. It was Jim’s third MGA tournament win of the year and capped an outstanding season as our 2026 Points Chase champion, with Chuck finishing as the runner-up.
Congratulations on a tremendous year and the well-deserved Points Chase title, Jim!
We’ll share the full Points Chase distribution after the remaining Match Play matches are completed over the next few weeks.
With the tremendous progress we’ve already seen on the course, we can’t wait to see what next season brings. And until then, we’ve still got plenty of fun offseason tournaments to look forward to!
Attached you’ll find the Groups Sheet with starting holes as well as Tournament Rules Sheet for our MGA Closing Day Stableford tomorrow. Play will begin at 9:30 AM with a shotgun start.
Gross & Net Skins: For any players who would like to buy into the Skins pot (we’ll be playing for both Gross & Net skins), please Venmo $20 to @Weston-Happ (6520) tonight or tomorrow before we tee off.
Scoring: All tournament scoring will be handled via the NGC App. The app can be found here for iPhone and here for Android. All groups will be pre-loaded into the App and we ask that each group uses the App to track their group’s scores.
Member Appreciation Lunch: After your round, stick around for NGC’s Member Appreciation Lunch. NGC is generously providing a complimentary lunch for all current members in celebration of the season and guests are welcome for $20 each.
If you plan to stay for lunch, please RSVP as soon as possible today so the club can be ready for everyone after tomorrow’s round.
Happy Halloween and let’s have a great tournament tomorrow to end the 2026 season in style!
