Mike Miller Team Sign-Ups

11th Annual Mike Miller Golf Tournament at NGC

We hope that everyone had a great holiday and, as we count down to the new year, team sign-ups continue for the Mike Miller Tournament which is set for this Sunday, New Year’s Day, January 1st, 2023.

About the Mike Miller January 1st Tradition

A famous line in golf, “A tradition unlike any other,” has been coined for the Masters, but the same can be said for the playing of New Year’s Day golf at National Golf Club. For years, players of all ages and abilities have taken to the course on January 1st to ring in the New Year with a fun 18 holes. There are stories of shoveling the driving range and impromptu get-togethers just to say golf was played on January 1st at NGC.

Mike Miller was an ambassador of the January 1st tradition and would host a party at his home following the event. Mike left us January 24th, 2013 but we continue the tradition in his memory. 

This year we celebrate the 11th annual playing of the Mike Miller Tournament. We hope you can join us for a great day of team shamble golf— all NGC members, previous members, and guests are welcome!

Sign up with your team online here.

Match Play Final Results

2022 MGA Match Play

The 2022 edition of our Match Play tournament is now officially in the books. A big thank you to all the competitors who participated this year and did a great job of getting all the rounds of matches completed by our deadline dates. We had 59 players to start the tournament making the Match Play our largest field of the season and, in the end, 2 men stood atop their respective brackets.

On Saturday, October 22nd, Phil Martin & Matt Doherty took to the course to play the Main Bracket Final. In another epic match, Matt birdied the 16th hole to bring the match to all square. This also meant the match was guaranteed to go all 18 holes and, on the 18th green, Mr. Doherty captured the victory and is our 2022 MGA Match Play Champion. Well played to both our finalists and congrats to Matt Doherty on completing his 6-0, six-win run to stand alone as our only undefeated Match Play player of 2022.

And in the Wildcard Bracket Final, Jim Sussmann took on Erik Rosales to determine the final MGA tournament result of the season. When all was said and done, Erik Rosales put together a great round and took the 2022 Wildcard Bracket win.

MGA Closing Day Stableford Results

Thank you all!

With the final tournament of the 2022 MGA season in the books, we’d like to thank all those who made this a fantastic year. Over the course of the season, we had 88 MGA members participate in our 9 tournaments and 30 Men’s Nights, none of which would have been possible without all the NGC staff who truly make our home course the place we all love. Thinking of where we were last year vs. where we are today should bring a smile to all! And finally, thank you to all the MGA members for always bringing the competition and camaraderie on (and off) the course.

Closing Day Results

31 players came out for our final Stableford battle of the season and we couldn’t have asked for better weather or fellowship. Thank you to John and all the grounds crew for all your hard work getting the greens rolling fast and true for our final event!

In the Net Division, Matt Nolan ended his 2022 season in style with a stellar 38 Stableford points, collecting the win and 1st place points (as well as big $ for a skin on #1 — one of only 2 skins on the day with the other being Ed Clarke on #3). Well played Matt! With very solid 36 Stableford points Micah Busbee finished 2nd and Carl Ford & Kevin Gates ended T-3rd at a tally of 34 — great playing gentlemen.

In the Gross Division, a very close leaderboard throughout the day came down to the final holes where Patrick Escalambre, who played the final 8 holes at 1-under, got up and down for 2-point pars on both #17 and #18 to secure the victory at 33 Stableford points. Finishing 2nd was Jared Powell at 32 points and Dave Krukowski was 3rd with 31 — a fun battle all the way to the end!

Gross Results

1st – Patrick Escalambre (33 Stableford) – 80 Chase Points – $60.00
2nd – Jared Powell (32 Stableford) – 70 Chase Points – $47.50
3rd – Dave Krukowski (31 Stableford) – 60 Chase Points – $40.00
4th – Jim Sussmann (30 Stableford) – 50 Chase Points – $32.50

Final Men’s Night 10/27 Results

E9 Team Scramble on the Front 9

In a very fitting end to our Men’s Night season, a classic E9 with 20 players and 4 5-man teams reminded us all why NGC is such a special place. Thank you to all the players who participated last night and in all our Men’s Nights throughout the entire year!

When all the scrambling was completed, 2 teams reached impressive E9 scores of -9. A chip-off on the 9th green ensued and, as the sunlight dwindled, Andy Westerkom’s chip just edged out the effort of Brian Carlstrom giving the team of Armstrong, Harkless, Westerkom, Nolan & Nichols the final Men’s Night victory of 2022.

1st – Armstrong, Harkless, Westerkom, Nolan & Nichols (-9, won in chip-off) – 30 Chase Points – $40 each
2nd – Powell, Carlstrom, Bowmer, Martin & Sedlak (-9) – 25 Chase Points
T-3rd – Happ, Miller, Sussmann, Stone & Dove (-7) – 20 Chase Points
T-3rd – Escalambre, Hsiao, Prendergast, Clarke, Zoski (-7) – 20 Chase Points

Poker Wrap-Up

In the final table of the Men’s Night season (but certainly not the last of the year), Colin Zoski highlighted a great night with a straight flush and Calvin Harkless proved poker-Russian-roulette is the best way to play a final hand.

MGA Closing Day Stableford Tomorrow

We look forward to seeing everyone in the morning for our final tournament of the season, our Closing Day Stableford. NGC will be providing coffee & donuts prior to our 9:30 AM shotgun start.
