A-Team Results
In two hard fought matches over the weekend, the NGC A-Team took on Army Navy CC and Belle Haven CC in opening pool play of the WMGA Team Championship. We’d like to send out a big thank you to the NGC staff and all our members for their support throughout the weekend. Although we were unable to capture a victory in either match, it was great to see the home course advantage that NGC is all about.

RWB Results
Over the course of the weekend, we had the chance to play each hole from the red tees (odd numbered holes on Saturday and even numbered holes on Sunday) and, from all reports, some new areas of course were explored while some very good scores were recorded. In the end, even scorching feels-like temps and a burst water main on #7 couldn’t slow down our 2024 Champions.
In the Net Division, Logan Schultz recorded two stellar rounds and finished at -15 net to edge out Hassan El-Amin who finished 2nd at -13 and Micah Busbee who finished 3rd at -11. Well played Logan!
On the Gross Division side, Adam Miller put on a dominating performance finishing as the only player in red figures at 5-under par and winning by 6 shots overall. With clutch up-and-down on #15, an eagle 3 on #16, and two solid pars to finish the day, Mr. Miller closed the door on Clay Thatcher and James Hsiao who both shot under par rounds on Sunday to finish tied 2nd at +1 for the tournament.
Great playing and congrats to our 2024 RWB Champions, Logan Schultz and Adam Miller!

26 players came out for our 2nd Shootout of the season yesterday and, when all was said and done, one man stood victorious on the 18th green. With stellar play throughout the 9-hole battle, Brad Adams proved he had the right stuff and footwear to take home the Shootout win. Great playing sir!
