Men’s Night 4/23 — Tee Ladder on the Back 9 🪜
For Men’s Night this week, our Tee Ladder format is back. We’ll be playing the Back 9 and 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 Tee → White Tee → 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:
- Net scores will be calculated using players’ Back 9 Gold Tee handicaps.
- We will have both Gross and Net leaderboards using Stableford scoring:
- Gross/Net Double Bogey or higher: 0 points
- Gross/Net Bogey: 1 point
- Gross/Net Par: 2 points
- Gross/Net Birdie: 3 points
- Gross/Net Eagle: 4 points, and so on.
2026 MGA Match Play Tournament
Sign-ups continue for our season-long, NCAA-bracket-style, 2026 MGA Match Play Tournament. The bracket will be set via a random draw on Thursday, April 30th. The field will be limited to the first 64 entrants so please sign up ASAP using the online registration portal. All players will be responsible for scheduling their own match dates and times in coordination with their opponents once the brackets have been drawn.
To confirm your sign-up, please check the online registration list here.
All participants will need valid handicaps that are active within the GHIN handicap system. Additionally, prior to the start of any given 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.
