Men’s Night 6/2 — Best Ball with Bailey on the Back 9

We hope that everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! 

For Men’s Night this week, to celebrate Bailey’s opening round at the 2022 Women’s US Open and to have some fun, we’ll be playing a Best Ball “team” round with her Back 9 score at Pine Needles on Thursday.

For each hole on the Back 9 at NGC this week, you and Bailey will be partners. Whichever is better, your net score on a hole or Bailey’s score on the same Back 9 hole (relative to par) during her 1st round at Pine Needles, will be your team score. Low with-Bailey best ball total score for the Back 9 wins.

Thank you again to all those who contributed to the Go Bailey fund! We were able to deliver the collection to her father which will help cover the costs of lodging which was facilitated in large part thanks to MGA member Will Keyes and our former pro Ed Collins set up Bailey with a Pine Needles local caddy who currently caddies on a professional women’s tour in Florida.

7:48 AM tee time on Thursday. Go Bailey!
