2026 Red, White & Blue 🇺🇸

First and foremost, we’d like to offer a heartfelt thank you to all of our MGA players, markers, and NGC staff who came out this weekend and helped make the 2026 Red, White & Blue Tournament a success. We’re truly grateful to everyone who continues to show up for the competition and camaraderie that our group — and our little course — can create on weekends like this. That enthusiasm gives us hope that tournament weekends will remain an MGA tradition for many years to come.

On the course, Saturday’s strong play set the stage for a thrilling finish in the net division. In Round 1, Kristian Lacot fired a career-best 77, an outstanding performance that ultimately earned him second place overall on our net leaderboard. Then, on Sunday, Andrew Gosman delivered a career round of his own, shooting a personal-best 73 to surge to victory and capture the Net Championship. Two career rounds on the same weekend—what a tremendous display of golf. Fantastic playing, and congratulations, Mr. Gosman!

The gross title brought drama all the way down to the final holes — and ultimately to the final shots and putts of our runner-up and champion. Playing his final hole of the day at #16, Matt Doherty hit a fantastic drive, followed it with a terrific second shot, and calmly converted a five-foot eagle putt to close his round in spectacular fashion.

But our overnight leader, Jim Sussmann, would not be outdone and had the final answer. On #18, Jim knocked his tee shot tight and rolled in the birdie putt for a closing 2 and an unforgettable finish. It was a clutch ending to a tremendous weekend of golf and a very well-deserved victory for our 2026 RWB Gross Champion, Mr. Jim Sussmann!

Congratulations to both of our champions — and thank you again to everyone who helped make this year’s RWB an awesome weekend.

2-Man Team Shamble — June 20, 2026

Fourteen teams, plus two marker teams, came out on Saturday for a little Shamble camaraderie and competition. Once again, team golf ​(and the occasional premium tee shot!​) proved to be about as fun as it gets, with birdies, eagles, and even a net albatross lighting up the scorecards.​ A special thank you to Tiffany​ and Meilani for helping make the day run smoothly!

In the Net Division, two teams rose all the way to the top with tremendous scores of 57 (-15). Very well played to the dynamic duo of Spray and Pray — Julian Castro & Kyle Whitehead — who came flying out of the gates at six under through their first five holes, and Biers, Bourbon & B**** — Mike Hanpeter & Torey Diggs — who closed in spectacular fashion with a net eagle, birdie, eagle, birdie finish!

In the Gross Division, Left of Center and Right Down the Middle — James Hsiao & Calvin Harkless — lived up to the name, came out firing, and posted a smooth 68 to take home a two-shot victory. With stellar touch ​o​n the greens early and clutch putts late, it was a true team performance and a very well-deserved win.

Well played, gentlemen, and thank you to everyone who came out for a great day of team golf!

Memorial Cup

Over the weekend, this year’s edition of our Memorial Cup turned out to be a great one. Before we get to the results, we’d like to thank Tiffany, Meilani, and Danny for their help in the Pro Shop, and all of our MGA members for coming out and making the weekend a success.

Most importantly, we play this tournament as a way to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day and to honor the women and men who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. We hope everyone is able to enjoy the holiday with the people they love. 

Our course may be far from perfect, but the little things like E9s after tournament play and “No Wake” zones are the kind of things you just can’t find anywhere else. And that’s something worth remembering, too.

Tournament Results

On the Net side, 36 holes were not enough to crown our champion, and an exciting 3-hole playoff followed regulation play. Chuck Roster and Andrew Neill, who both finished at -4 net, headed back out to #1 with a very interested gallery in tow. After tying the first two holes, Andrew was able to secure the victory on #3 and take home the championship. Well done, Mr. Neill!

In the Gross competition, Jared Powell started the day with a one-shot lead and left no doubt by the time he was done. Jared fired a stellar 2-under par 70 on Sunday, turning a narrow advantage into a dominant 7-shot victory. It was an impressive closing round under tournament pressure and a well-earned win from start to finish. Well played, Jared, and congratulations on capturing the 2026 Memorial Cup Gross Championship.

2026 Play It Again Tournament​

On Saturday, the MGA weekend tournament season officially opened with the 2026 Play It Again, and it was a terrific way to kick things off. Thank you to all the MGA members and NGC staff who helped make the day such a success. Special thanks to Tiffany and Meilani for all of your help setting up and holding things down in the Pro Shop, to Christine for her support, and to Kim for the excellent work on the outside grill.

On the course, two very deserving champions emerged with commanding performances. In the Net Division, Torey Diggs posted an outstanding 55 net — matching the famed double-nickel total of another well-known golf obsessive — to cruise to a 5-shot victory. Not to be outdone, James Hsiao delivered a standout round of his own in the Gross Division, firing a 3-under 69, the only sub-par round of the day, to win by 5 shots himself. A great start to the tournament season, and well played by both our champions!
