Using their allotted mulligans, each player records their best possible gross score. Net scores will also be calculated by the scoring app for a Net Division. The Rule of 75 (Age + Handicap >= 75) applies for gold tee players. Please sign up using the online registration link. All participants must meet the MGA 2-in-30 handicap posting policy.

What an amazing day yesterday and a perfect way to kick off the warm-golf season. Thank you so much to all our members and guests who came out to make our Jack Brady field the largest in recent memory — a shotgun using all 18 holes! Thank you to Donnee, Rahel, Pete, Tiffany, Tsehaye, and all the NGC staff who made the day a great success. So so well done to everyone wearing their green — Masters caddies and an inflatable leprechaun?! What other course had that yesterday? 💚
And especially, thank you to Mrs. Brady for the tremendous legacy and history that you and Jack have brought to the club we all love. Jack was for sure smiling along with us yesterday!
And some great golf was played too!

With the handicap system reopening for Maryland tomorrow, March 15th, I wanted to send a quick note out in anticipation of the upcoming MGA season. I am really excited to get the 2024 season underway and we are going to continue to work hard to protect the integrity of the field for all MGA events. The 2024 MGA Handicap Rules & Procedures documentation lays out what we expect of all of you.
I will leave the highlights here for simplicity:
All MGA members will need a GHIN handicap and should be posting all rounds played while playing postable formats.
Players should post their scores whenever playing 9 or more holes, and should do so in a timely manner.
We will maintain the 2-in-30 posting requirement for 2024 starting April 15th. To compete in MGA net competitions with your GHIN handicap, players must maintain 36-holes of posted scores (either full 18 or 9-hole scores) from NGC in the last 30 days. See the “Season Specific Guidelines” within the Rules & Procedures.
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.
Penalties will be given out for failure to post.
Players should post their own scores for all MGA events after the conclusion of play unless instructed otherwise. MGA tournaments should be entered as tournament/competition scores.
The MGA will audit all player handicaps for Men’s Nights and Tournaments. Players who do not follow the posting guidelines or do not meet the 2-in-30 will not be eligible to compete with their GHIN handicaps in net competitions.
If you have any questions about anything, please reach out and we will be happy to assist. Looking forward to another magical MGA season.

Jack, who passed away on February 21, 2023, was a long time NGC member and, alongside his wife Maureen who you’ll often see out hitting balls, was a stalwart of our golf club. He was a wonderful friend to all those who had the privilege of knowing him. His interest in his fellow members was sincere, he would make useful suggestions on the practice range, and he had great stories with a tremendously sharp wit.
Saint Patrick’s Day was Jack’s favorite holiday and, to honor him, let’s have a great day of camaraderie and celebration! A scramble bonus will be available for all those who proudly wear their green ☘️
