Thank You All for a Tremendous 2024 MGA Season

Another fantastic October weather weekend gave us the perfect backdrop for the conclusion to our 2024 MGA season. Before we get to Saturday’s results for our Closing Day Stableford, a huge thank you goes out to all the NGC staff who made this year an amazing one! Additionally, thank you to all our MGA members whose competitive spirits and camaraderie make this group and our club truly special. Over the course of the year, we had 111 MGA members participate in events and we are all already counting the weeks until April 2025 and next year’s season!
