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.

A huge thank you goes out to all the MGA players and NGC staff who came out yesterday to make our 1st weekend tournament of the 2023 season a great success! The course played fast and firm, and we were all able to beat the rain to enjoy some great post-round camaraderie in the clubhouse. Poker and more golf (that embraced the rain) wrapped up a perfect day at the course we all love. Here’s to a tremendous MGA year ahead!
In a very close battle that came down to the final putts in our newly added Net Division, Mike Reynard and Torey Diggs finished tied 3rd with net scores of 60. And, with impressive scores of net 59, Mel Kince and Bruce Sedlak shared the well deserved 1st place honors. Well played gentlemen!
In the Gross Division, the battle for the win came down to the last hole of the day and, in the end, Adam Miller finished with a 3-under 69 to just edge out Ed Clark who shot 70. Great playing Adam Miller and congratulations on the hard-fought victory!
Attached you’ll find the groups + starting holes for tomorrow’s Play It Again Tournament which will begin with a 9:00 AM shotgun start. Additionally, you’ll find the Tournament Rules Sheet which includes the general MGA Tee locations. Food will be served in the clubhouse at the conclusion of play.
Tournament Scoring
All tournament scoring will be handled via the NGC App. The app can be found here for iPhone and here for Android. All groups will be pre-loaded into the App and we ask that each group uses the App to track their group’s scores.

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.
