Although the weather looks to be a question, we will still be holding our Champions Dinner get together for all MGA members starting at 4:00 PM tomorrow. We’ll be watching the 1st Round of The Masters, enjoying some hors d’oeuvres, and maybe even playing some poker. We’ll have all the 2021 MGA Champions trophies to hand out so we hope to see you there!
I am excited to join the MGA Board as the Handicap Chair. With the handicap system reopening for Maryland tomorrow, March 15th, I wanted to send a quick note out in anticipation of the upcoming MGA season. Those of you who know me know that I was living in North Carolina the past 2 years, and while I was treated to some amazing golf, my time away helped me realize just how amazing the MGA and NGC is. I am really excited to get the 2022 season underway.
The only thing I want to say is that we are going to work hard to protect the integrity of the field this year. Attached you’ll find the 2022 MGA Handicap Rules & Procedures documentation which lays out what we expect of all of you as well as a NGC Local Rules guidance outline for non-tournament, daily play to help answer any questions.
I will leave the highlights here for simplicity:
All members should be posting all rounds played, and should be playing postable formats whenever playing.
Players should post both 9 and 18 hole scores, and should do so in a timely manner.
We will maintain last year’s 2-in-30 requirement starting April 14th. See the “Season Specific Guidelines” within the Rules & Procedures.
Penalties will be given out for failure to post.
Players should post their own scores for all MGA events after the conclusion of play. MGA tournaments should be entered as tournament/competition scores.
The MGA Committee will audit player handicaps before Men’s Nights and Tournaments. Players who break any of our rules, or do not meet the 2-in-30 will not be eligible to compete in NET competitions.
If you have any questions about anything, please reach out and we will be happy to assist. Looking forward to another magical MGA season.
On behalf of the Men’s Golf Association (MGA) at National Golf Club, we’d like to invite you to join the MGA for the upcoming 2022 season. Our $85 yearly membership dues (to be billed March 31st by the club), allow the MGA to conduct organized golf and golf-related social activities for the benefit, pleasure, and recreation of all MGA members with 100% of all dues collected spent at NGC for our events. Our yearly dues also let us pay out 100% of all tournament entry fees back in credit book prizes to the field for each event. Last year, we had over 70 NGC members participate in MGA sponsored events. This year, we hope to make it 100+! With the new direction of the club, we are excited for an exceptional 2022 MGA season.
Starting in April and running through October, the MGA will host eight weekend tournaments as well as a season-long Match Play bracket. Our tournaments include prizes and food & beverages. While MGA tournaments are generally on weekends, they are open to full as well as weekday members. In addition to weekend tournaments, we conduct a robust program of 30 Men’s Nights held every Thursday and, for 2022, we hope to include dinner specials for participating MGA members and their guests. We are also looking at ways to be more inclusive of our senior golfers with special events being planned for this year.
The MGA is here to enhance your experience at NGC and we are open to more suggestions on sponsored golf or social events. For additional information, questions, or to join our MGA email list for the latest tournament and event updates, send a note to [email protected] —
We hope to make this the best year ever at NGC and hope that you will join the MGA!
Sincerely,
– Your 2022 MGA Board

With the turning of the calendar into 2022 and some beautiful weather this week, a new beginning is upon us at NGC. As we turn over a new leaf, we’re excited to share the MGA Schedule for the upcoming season which is attached and linked here!
Come Out and Celebrate Tomorrow!
To celebrate the spring-like weather and the start of this new chapter at NGC, we hope that many of our members will be able to come out to the club tomorrow, Friday, February 11th.
Rumor has it that a couple of members will even have an open bar tab up to $400 to share with fellow members starting at around 5:15. Play some holes in the 60+ degree weather, bring an appetite, order your own food, enjoy the camaraderie, and support the course we all love. Let’s show the club the business NGC membership can bring!
Swing it smooth and hope to see everyone at the club tomorrow —
