The most anticipated date of the entire golf year is nearly upon us…the 1st Men’s Night of the MGA season!
Match Play vs. Tiger’s Opening 9 at The Masters on 4/7
For our 1st Men’s Night of the 2022 season and in celebration of Tiger teeing it up at The Masters (we hope), we’ll be playing match play vs. Tiger’s opening 9 at Augusta on Thursday, April 7th. For each hole on the Front 9 at NGC this week, you’ll compare your net score to Tiger’s on his Front 9. Each time you tie him, you’ll earn 1 point. Each hole you beat him you’ll earn 2 points. When Tiger’s score (relative to par) is better than your net score on a hole, you get 0 points. Points will be awarded using 100% of individual Front 9 handicaps — Play well!
The example below shows the breakdown of points earned vs. an example Front 9 for Tiger:
In this example, a net par on the 1st hole would earn a tie with Tiger for 1 point. A net par on the 2nd hole would gain you 2 points. And a net bogey on #3 would be worth 0 points. If for any reason Tiger does not complete the Front 9 holes at Augusta on Thursday, we’ll use his opening 9 from his first round in competition at The Masters in 1996.
Ball Skip on #12 — Closest to the Pin
We’ll also be holding an additional side-competition with a Ball Skipping, Closest to the Pin contest which will be setup across the pond on #12. Each Men’s Night competitor may take 2 chances to skip their balls across the lake from the teeing ground we will have set up — closest to the pin wins $50 credit book provided by the MGA.
Our Closest to the pin winner and Men’s Night Top-3 will also receive a Masters ball marker donated graciously by our very own Masters insider, Mr. Matt Doherty. Mr. Doherty can be seen here demonstrating how to perform the #12 skip shot flawlessly.
Men’s Night rounds may be played at any time on Thursdays with an accompanying MGA member, please check in with the Pro Shop beforehand. All players play from white tees and Rule of 75 players (age + handicap >= 75) may play golds. Record gross scores for all holes on scorecards with names clearly marked and turn in completed cards to the Pro Shop.
Champions Dinner after Men’s Night Rounds
And finally, a reminder that we’ll also be serving a Champions Dinner (hors d’oeuvres buffet) from 4:00-7:00 for everyone to enjoy after their Men’s Night rounds. We’ll have all the 2021 MGA Champions trophies to hand out that night so we hope to have a great turn out!
