NGC Cup + After Party!

2024 NGC Cup — Saturday, August 24th

Sign-ups continue for the 2024 NGC Cup which now includes our very own MGA BYO Bar + After Party and is set to be played this Saturday, August 24th with a 9:30 AM shotgun start. Please sign up individually at https://mga.golf/ngc-cup.

All participants must have active GHIN handicaps and meet the MGA 2-in-30 posting requirement. Please only sign up if you are 100% certain you can play. If your schedule changes and you are unable to play, please email [email protected] to let us know.

For this event, the full field will be divided equally into 2 teams using handicaps for a Ryder Cup style competition. 2-man (2v2) matches will be set up for each foursome using 2 players from each team. All points earned from each 2-man match will be totaled to determine the overall winning team.

After Party — MGA BYO Bar

We have obtained a one-day license for an after party in partnership with DC’s finest music house, Songbyrd, and the Lapan Sunshine Foundation.

For Saturday morning, we ask those who’d like to join in the beverage festivities to bring a 6-pack (or more) or bottle (or mixer) to “donate” to our special guest bartenders. For your “donation,” you’ll get an equal number of drink tickets to use (to get back what you donated and sample others’ donations) throughout the day. The team with the most donated BYO may get a scoring bonus…

All cash sales will be donated to the Lapan Sunshine Foundation — let’s make it an amazing day!

NGC Cup: Saturday, August 24th — 9:30 AM shotgun start
Cost: $20 + BYO “donation”

Men’s Night 8/15 — Shootout Front 9 @ 4:45 PM

For Men’s Night this week, the 3rd edition of our 2024 Shootout series is here! For our Shootout format on the Front 9, all players meet on the 1st tee at 4:45 PM — please be a few minutes early (around the range / putting green by 4:30 PM) so we can organize everyone’s Front 9 course handicaps. 

As a full group (think 25-some), all competitors play #1 together (please mark your ball). The low 9 net scores on #1 proceed to the 2nd hole. A chip-off will be used to break any ties for who proceeds to #2 (top 9 low net from #1).

On holes 2-9, we eliminate 1 player with the highest net score on each hole: i.e. 9 competitors play #2, 8 competitors play #3…all the the way down to 2 players on the 9th hole. Chip-offs decide tied-for-high-score holes.

The last man standing after #9 has been played is the Shootout winner.

For this week’s Shootout festivities, our special guest Shootout referee is back—current Springfield Golf & Country Club member, 2019 Stearns Cup Champion, former MGA Competition Chair, fantastic match play opponent, and all-around great guy—Mr. Mike Lyons. Mike will handle all handicap calculations, rulings, and chip-off decisions for elimination.
