2023 MGA Play It Again

A huge thank you goes out to all the MGA players and NGC staff who came out yesterday to make our 1st weekend tournament of the 2023 season a great success! The course played fast and firm, and we were all able to beat the rain to enjoy some great post-round camaraderie in the clubhouse. Poker and more golf (that embraced the rain) wrapped up a perfect day at the course we all love. Here’s to a tremendous MGA year ahead!

In a very close battle that came down to the final putts in our newly added Net Division, Mike Reynard and Torey Diggs finished tied 3rd with net scores of 60. And, with impressive scores of net 59, Mel Kince and Bruce Sedlak shared the well deserved 1st place honors. Well played gentlemen!

Another New Year’s Day in the History Books at NGC

The 1st day of the New Year and the 2023 golf season at NGC got off to an amazing start yesterday with a tremendous edition of the Mike Miller Tournament. In its 11th annual playing as the Mike Miller and with a half century of playings in the history books, the ritual of January 1st golf at NGC is a tradition that we all truly love. Champagne was popped (and used as a tee), warmth and cheer filled the air, our shoes got a little wet, and some very good golf was played.

Thank you to all the members, former members, guests, and especially all the NGC staff that made yesterday such a great success. Thank you to Norm Brunelle for opening the season in style and to Maureen Brady & Carolyn LeCrone for providing some great NGC history. Also a huge thank you to Betty Sussmann and all those who brought food to share after the round! We are so excited for what the New Year has in store for the club — can we place an order for this warm weather to carry on straight through to April?

In the Team Net competition, the team of MORE CHAMPAGNE PLEASE  — Jim Prendergast, Matt Nolan, Eric Fleming & Bruce Sedlak — shot a very impressive 52 to capture victory. Well played gentlemen! And, with a score of 59, the team of Average Drive: 238 yards — Weston Happ, Patrick Escalambre, Will Keyes & Calvin Harkless — took home the team win in the Gross Division. We heard they made 18 birdies as a team!

In the individual competition, 18 holes were not enough to determine Gross or Net champions and playoff holes ensued. After 2 shamble playings of #18 to break the ties, Victor Grinev edged out Travis Handerson to take the Net Championship. For the Gross Championship, Matt Hollerback was able to go back-to-back and defend his 2021 title defeating Weston Happ in a sudden death chip-off that followed the 2 playoff playings of #18.

Congratulations to all our 2023 Mike Miller Champions!

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.

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!
