During the round, positive points are added on the following basis using gross hole scores:

Sign-ups continue for our season-long, NCAA-bracket-style, 2023 MGA Match Play Tournament and, with 60 players currently signed up, only 4 spots remain open!
The cost to participate is $30 and the bracket will be set via a random draw on Thursday, May 4th. The field will be limited to the first 64 entrants so please sign up ASAP using the online registration portal. All players will be responsible for scheduling their own match dates and times in coordination with their opponents once the brackets have been drawn.
All participants will need valid handicaps that are active within the GHIN handicap system. Additionally, prior to the start of any given match, competitors must meet the MGA 2-in-30 handicap posting requirement. If a participant does not meet this requirement on the date of a scheduled match, the player who has not posted two 18-hole or combined rounds in the last 30 days will play as scratch (0 handicap) for that day’s match.
Complete information and guidelines for the 2023 MGA Match Play Tournament can be found here: https://mga.golf/match-play
To confirm your sign-up, check the online registration list here. Please do not sign up twice if you are already registered and appear on the online leaderboard.
Sign-ups close tonight at 8:00 PM for our 1st MGA weekend event of the season, the 2023 Play It Again Tournament, which will be played this Saturday, April 22rd with a 9:00 AM shotgun start. All weekend MGA tournaments are open to full and weekday NGC members who have paid their MGA dues for the year.
For this tournament, each player’s handicap is used to determine how many mulligans will be allotted during their round. Using their allotted mulligans, each player records their best possible gross score, low score wins. Rule of 75 (Age + Handicap >= 75) applies for gold tee players. Please sign up using the online registration link.
Gold Tee Players (Rule of 75)
If you qualify for the Rule of 75 (Age + Handicap >= 75) and plan to play gold tees but do not have a “(gold)” designation next to your name on the online leaderboard, please send a quick reply to this email at to [email protected] so we can get you set up correctly for Saturday.
New For 2023: Addition of Net Division
For this year’s edition of the Play It Again, we are adding a Net Division for overall net scoring. All players will still play the same format, using allotted mulligans based on 18-hole course handicaps and recording gross scores in the app. The scoring app will handle all net score calculations and a net leaderboard will be live throughout the tournament — Let’s see some low numbers! Our traditional gross scoring division will still be in effect and players will place in the division (gross or net) where they rank best on the final leaderboards.
Handicap 2-in-30 Policy
For all MGA events for the remainder of the 2023 season, all participants must meet the MGA 2-in-30 handicap posting policy. If a participant does not meet this requirement on the date of an event, the player who has not posted two 18-hole or combined rounds in the last 30 days will play as scratch (0 handicap). If any MGA member is unable to meet the 2-in-30 posting requirement for reasons of travel, work, injury, sickness, or the like, they may submit an appeal in writing to the MGA Handicap Committee at [email protected] to request a temporary exemption from the requirement.
