Congratulations to our 2023 MGA Points Chase Senior Champion, Ed Clark, and our 2023 MGA Points Chase Co-Champions, Adam Miller & Weston Happ.
Thank you again to all our members who make the MGA the truly one of a kind group that it is — we are already looking forward to next year! We will hold our Champions Dinner for the 2023 season in the spring in conjunction with the start of the 2024 season. Is it April yet?
Last Saturday provided us with an absolutely fantastic weather day and, along with the course looking awesome, our final tournament of the 2023 MGA season played out in epic style. Before we get to the results, we’d like to thank all those who made this such a tremendous year. Over the course of the season, we had 109 MGA members participate in our 9 tournaments and 28 Men’s Nights, none of which would have been possible without all the NGC staff who truly make our home course our home away from home. It’s this group and the golf family that we represent collectively that make NGC a place unlike any other.
With the last chance for glory on the line, both the Net and Gross Divisions saw some great play and very exciting finishes right down to the final shots. On the Net side, Daryl Stone collected a very impressive 40 Stableford points to take the win just edging out Adam Miller and Ed Clarke who tied for 2nd with Stableford scores of 39. In the Gross competition, 4 players — Jared Powell, Matt Doherty, Patrick Escalambre & Weston Happ — shot rounds of 72 and ended the day with tallies of 36 Stableford points to share 1st place. Well played everyone and cheers to all for a great 2023 MGA season of competition and camaraderie!
The 2023 edition of our MGA Match Play tournament is now officially in the books. A big thank you to all the competitors who participated this year and did a great job of getting matches completed by the deadline dates. We had a full field of 64 players to start the tournament making the Match Play our largest tournament field of the season and, in the end, 2 men stood atop their respective brackets.
On Saturday, October 28th, Torey Diggs took on Jack Sullivan in the Wildcard Bracket final. When all was said and done, Jack Sullivan put together a great round and took home the 2023 Wildcard Bracket win. Well played Jack!
Yesterday, Calvin Harkless & Scotty Kimmel squared off in the Main Bracket final to decide this year’s Match Play Main Bracket champion. A tip of the hat to both our finalists for their great (and entertaining!) play throughout the tournament. Congrats to Scotty Kimmel on completing the run to stand alone as our 2023 MGA Match Play Champion!
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.
All groups for tomorrow’s round were determined by the current 2023 Points Chase Standings so that all participants have a chance to battle their direct competition in the final event of the season.
Food will be served in the clubhouse at the conclusion of play.
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.
