Jack Brady Saint Patrick’s Day Open: Tournament Rules & Starting Holes

Ladies & Gentlemen —

We have reached the eve of the Jack Brady Saint Patrick’s Day Open and, thanks to all of you, we have an amazing turnout of 73 players! The festivities will start with a 10:00 AM shotgun tomorrow, Saturday March 16th and attached you’ll find the tournament rules sheet as well as starting holes for each team.

🍀 Wear Your Green: An important rules note for tomorrow!

  • Each player on each team receives 1 mulligan for each article of green clothing or apparel they are wearing for today’s round with a maximum of 3 mulligans added per individual player.

Skins & Team Prize Pool: For any team that would like to enter the optional Skins / Teams Prize Pool, Venmo $40 per team to @Weston-Happ (please include your team name with your single $40 Venmo payment). We’ll be playing for both gross & net skins!

Morning Snacks & Beverages: will be provided by the pro shop before the round.

Teams with Guests: please check in with the pro shop when you arrive so we can note how guest charges should be applied.

Tournament Scoring: will be handled via the NGC App. The app can be found here for iPhone and here for Android. All teams will be pre-loaded into the App and we ask that one player from each team uses the App to track their team’s score.

Online Leaderboards:

We look forward to seeing everyone in their green tomorrow — rumor has it that there may be a leprechaun onsite in the morning too!

2024 MGA Handicap Rules & Procedures

Players,

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. I am really excited to get the 2024 season underway and we are going to continue to work hard to protect the integrity of the field for all MGA events. The 2024 MGA Handicap Rules & Procedures documentation lays out what we expect of all of you.

I will leave the highlights here for simplicity:

  • All MGA members will need a GHIN handicap and should be posting all rounds played while playing postable formats.
  • Players should post their scores whenever playing 9 or more holes, and should do so in a timely manner.
  • We will maintain the 2-in-30 posting requirement for 2024 starting April 15th. To compete in MGA net competitions with your GHIN handicap, players must maintain 36-holes of posted scores (either full 18 or 9-hole scores) from NGC in the last 30 days. See the “Season Specific Guidelines” within the Rules & Procedures.
  • If any MGA Member is unable to meet the 2-in-30 posting requirement for reasons of travel, work, injury, sickness, or the like, they may submit an appeal in writing to the MGA Handicap Committee at [email protected] to request a temporary exemption from the requirement.
  • Penalties will be given out for failure to post.
  • Players should post their own scores for all MGA events after the conclusion of play unless instructed otherwise. MGA tournaments should be entered as tournament/competition scores.
  • The MGA will audit all player handicaps for Men’s Nights and Tournaments. Players who do not follow the posting guidelines or do not meet the 2-in-30 will not be eligible to compete with their GHIN handicaps 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.

-William Keyes
