24 players took to the Front 9 last night for a classic Stableford battle and one man who finished at twilight came out ahead of all others. With a very impressive gross 37, Travis Henderson collected 23 Stableford points and took home the W this week. Well played sir!
Thank you to Jada and Basil for keeping the bar open while we hung out and shuffled up & dealt the new cards generously provided by the ultimate MGA poker contributor, Mr. Adam Miller. We’re glad that Men’s Night nights are once again rolling strong at NGC!

For our 2-Man Shamble format, both players tee off, pick the best tee-shot, and each man then plays their own ball into the hole from the chosen tee shot location. Individual best ball scoring determines your team score for the hole for both gross and net.

For Men’s Night this week, we’ll be playing our Stableford format on the Front 9. Points will be awarded based on the standard Stableford scoring breakdown using 100% of individual Front 9 handicaps.
Net Double bogey or higher: 0 points
Net Bogey: 1 point
Net Par: 2 points
Net Birdie: 3 points
Net Eagle: 4 points, and so on.
All players play from white tees and Rule of 75 players (age + handicap >= 75) may play golds. Please record gross scores for all holes on scorecards with names clearly marked and turn in completed cards to the Pro Shop.
Competition Rules for Men’s Night 7/7
For this week, all Men’s Night competitors play the Front 9 using 100% of their Front 9 course handicaps.
Men’s Night rounds may be played at any time on Thursday with an accompanying MGA member. Please check in with the Pro Shop before you tee off. All players play from white tees and Rule of 75 players (Age + Handicap >= 75) may play golds.
With the possibility of rain in the forecast, an overall assessment of course playability / availability throughout the day will be used to determine if there has been enough time for Men’s Night play to count submitted scores for an official result.
We will be playing the ball down EVERYWHERE. As the exception, all bunkers will be played as Ground Under Repair. If your ball ends up in a bunker, you may either play your ball as it lies (rake and place) or take free relief. To take relief, you must find the nearest point of complete relief outside the bunker and play from within one club-length of that point, no closer to the hole.
All recently seeded and re-sodded areas, drain trenches and exposed rocks added as topper for drainage systems should be considered Ground Under Repair from which free relief may be taken, no closer to the hole. Additionally, tire tracks, bare areas immediately adjacent to cart paths, and bare areas larger than a club length should be considered Ground Under Repair. DROP within one club-length of the nearest point of relief, no closer to the hole.
Any player who does not meet the MGA 2-in-30 handicap posting policy or has not submitted a written appeal for exemption prior to play to [email protected] if they are unable to meet the requirement, will automatically play as a 0 handicap for Men’s Night.
This week’s format allows for the completion of a 9-hole round that is valid for handicap posting purposes. Men’s Night scores must be posted promptly to your handicap account. Any player who places but has not posted will have their score disqualified from payout and placement consideration.

The 2022 edition of the MGA Red, White & Blue tournament is officially in the books. We’d like to thank all the NGC staff who helped to make the weekend a great success. Thank you to all the players who came out to both compete and take part in the camaraderie that makes the MGA the great group that it is.
To turbocharge the weekend, on Saturday, Mike Helmer made a hole in one on #15 from 178 yards with a 6-iron. Cheers to you Mike!
After surviving white & blue Saturday and an all red tee Sunday shootout, when all was said and done, Jack Sullivan and Patrick Escalambre stood alone as our 2022 RWB Champions. In a dominant performance, with accurate drives and precision iron play, Jack Sullivan took the win in the Net Division at -25. In the Gross Division, after an exciting final few holes, Patrick Escalambre took the well deserved major victory at a very impressive score of -1 overall for the tournament. Well played!
