Closing Day Stableford Results

2023 MGA Closing Day Stableford

Last Saturday provided us with an absolutely fantastic weather day and, along with the course looking awesome, our final tournament of the 2023 MGA season played out in epic style. Before we get to the results, we’d like to thank all those who made this such a tremendous year. Over the course of the season, we had 109 MGA members participate in our 9 tournaments and 28 Men’s Nights, none of which would have been possible without all the NGC staff who truly make our home course our home away from home. It’s this group and the golf family that we represent collectively that make NGC a place unlike any other.

With the last chance for glory on the line, both the Net and Gross Divisions saw some great play and very exciting finishes right down to the final shots. On the Net side, Daryl Stone collected a very impressive 40 Stableford points to take the win just edging out Adam Miller and Ed Clarke who tied for 2nd with Stableford scores of 39. In the Gross competition, 4 players — Jared Powell, Matt Doherty, Patrick Escalambre & Weston Happ — shot rounds of 72 and ended the day with tallies of 36 Stableford points to share 1st place. Well played everyone and cheers to all for a great 2023 MGA season of competition and camaraderie!
