2023 Match Play Bracket

Gentlemen —

Our 2023 Match Play Main Bracket has been set by random, blind draw and attached here. For the first time in recent memory, we have a full 64 player field and, consequently, no Round 1 byes. All players who do not win their Round 1 match in the Main Bracket will form our secondary Wildcard Bracket which will be drawn after all Round 1 matches have been completed.

2023 Main Bracket: https://challonge.com/2023_MGA_Match_Play

The deadline for Round 1 matches in the Main Bracket is June 11th. Please be in touch with your Round 1 opponent ASAP about scheduling your match. Contact [email protected] or call the Pro Shop (301) 292-1100 if you need your opponent’s contact information.

Match Play Competition Notes

  • Match scheduling should be determined via direct communication between opponents.
  • Matches are to be played using standard, 18-hole, match play format.
  • All Match Play matches should be played from white tees. Rule of 75 players (age + handicap > 75) may play gold tees.
  • Prior to the start of a 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.
  • Please check in with the Pro Shop before starting your match so that handicap strokes for the match can be determined and finalized. 
  • Please report final results of all matches promptly to [email protected]

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.

A-Team Wrapup

Over the weekend, both the A-Team and Senior A-Team had matches which were competed both home and away. On Saturday, the A-Team took on Brenton Bay in a 1st round matchup of the MSGA bracket and earned 6 points in a hard fought 6-12 loss. We’re already looking forward to our Summer A-Team matches which start July 8th.  

In the WMGA Senior A-Team Tournament, coming off a fantastic 6.5-5.5 win last weekend over Fort Belvoir GC, the NGC Senior A-team took on CC of Fairfax on Sunday. After an epic showdown that ended 6-6, a 3-way tiebreaker in the group advanced our Senior A-Team into the Final 8 to take on Belle Haven CC next Sunday. Well done Senior A-Team — Keep it rolling vs. Belle Haven!

Thank you to all the NGC staff who helped to make the matches we hosted at home a great success!
