2024 NGC Cup: One for the History Books

What. A. Day!  💙 NGC Cup 💚

The 2024 edition of the NGC Cup is in the history books and we are certain it is one that will be remembered for years to come. Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday to make it an absolutely epic day! Our love of golf as a golf family is what NGC is all about and yesterday truly showed that. Thank you to all the pro shop, clubhouse and course staff who helped make yesterday amazing. And the biggest thank you to Joe for navigating the intricacies of MD state liquor law and Alisha for bringing the absolutely incredible energy, Songbyrd crew, and setup that made the 2024 edition our best NGC Cup ever.

The generosity and giving spirit of all our members was on full display with both the mountain of donated refreshments that brought to life the MGA BYO bar and with the cash tips for charity! In the end, we were able to collect and donate $525 directly to the Lapan Sunshine Foundation.

When it came to the golf, excitement and good vibes energized each match as players wrapped their minds around Pinehurst Scotch (while enjoying scotch?) and every hole counted towards the final Blue vs. Green tally. When all the points had been counted, Team Green reigned supreme with a final score of 109.5 to 124.5 — Green has earned its place in the NGC Cup color battle!

In the side-contests, laughs and cheers abounded! Mr. Hanpeter got us off to an electric start with a perfect cluster putt, the necessity of walkie-talkies was revealed, and a Truck Bed chip-in joined the ranks of NGC legend.

2024 Red, White & Blue Tournament Results

The 2024 edition of the Red, White & Blue Tournament is in the books and, before we get to the results, we’d like to send a huge thank you to all those who made the weekend an awesome one! Thank you to Donnee, Tiffany, Lauren, Rahel, Christine, and all the NGC staff for being the heartbeat of the club we all truly love. And thank you to all our MGA members who, through competition and camaraderie, make NGC the place we all want to spend our best days.

Happy 4th of July week to all! 🇺🇸

RWB Results

Over the course of the weekend, we had the chance to play each hole from the red tees (odd numbered holes on Saturday and even numbered holes on Sunday) and, from all reports, some new areas of course were explored while some very good scores were recorded. In the end, even scorching feels-like temps and a burst water main on #7 couldn’t slow down our 2024 Champions.

In the Net Division, Logan Schultz recorded two stellar rounds and finished at -15 net to edge out Hassan El-Amin who finished 2nd at -13 and Micah Busbee who finished 3rd at -11. Well played Logan!

On the Gross Division side, Adam Miller put on a dominating performance finishing as the only player in red figures at 5-under par and winning by 6 shots overall. With clutch up-and-down on #15, an eagle 3 on #16, and two solid pars to finish the day, Mr. Miller closed the door on Clay Thatcher and James Hsiao who both shot under par rounds on Sunday to finish tied 2nd at +1 for the tournament.

Great playing and congrats to our 2024 RWB Champions, Logan Schultz and Adam Miller!
