MGA Penultimate Tuesday Tidbits

Men’s Night 10/23 — Tee Ladder with Chicago scoring on the Back 9

For our penultimate Men’s Night of the season this week, we’ll be playing Tee Ladder with Chicago scoring on the Back 9. Here’s how it works:

All players start on the Red Tees for Hole #10. If you make a gross par or better on a hole, you move up the tee ladder for the next hole:

  •  The “tee ladder” progresses from Red Tees → Gold Tees → White Tees → Blue Tees 

If you make a gross bogey or worse, you reset and return to the Red Tees for the next hole.

Progression Example:

  • Make gross bogey on Hole #10 → Remain on Red Tees for Hole #11
  • Make gross par on Hole #11 → Move to Gold Tees on Hole #12
  • Make gross par again on Hole #12 → Move to White Tees on Hole #13
  • Make gross bogey on Hole #13 → Return to Red Tees for Hole #14
  • Make gross birdie on Hole #14 → Move to Gold Tees on Hole #15
  • and so on…

Rule of 75 Players (age + handicap index ≥ 75): The highest tee you can reach is the White Tees. Even if you continue making par or better, you will not move back to the Blue Tees.

Scoring:

  • We’ll be using our Chicago scoring system: Players start with a negative number of points (based on 18-hole course handicaps) then add positive points during their round. The idea is to get from the negative to the positive, clearing your “hurdle” by as many points as possible.

2025 Stearns Cup Results

Thank You Donnee and All for a Weekend to Remember!

Over the weekend, we had tremendous weather and an even better celebration of a true NGC legend — our Referee-in-Chief, Mr. Donnee Gray. It was a perfect day to honor someone who has given so much to the club over the years — his humor, his steady hand, and his genuine care for the game and our membership. Thank you, Donnee, for all you’ve done (and continue to do), and thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate.

When it came to the golf, we saw some outstanding play across the board — with a few clutch birdies and eagles down the stretch that made for a dramatic finish. In the Net Division, it all came down to the final holes before the team of Surf and Turf, Leo Goff & Chuck Roster, sealed the win. And in the Gross Division, with a blistering 7-under-par 65 on Sunday, the dynamic duo of Parski and Clutch, Brad Adams & Calvin Harkless, took home the Gross title in style.

Gross Results
​ 
1st – Adams/Harkless (-11) – 110 Chase Points – $75.00 each
2nd – Armstrong/Bowmer (-7) – 95 Chase Points – $60.00 each
3rd – Escalambre/Sussmann (-4) – 80 Chase Points – $48.00 each
4th – Happ/Hsiao (-1) – 65 Chase Points – $37.00 each
5th – Burgess/Krukowski (+6) – 50 Chase Points – $30.00 each
