WELCOME TO THE 2012
MGA GOLF TOUR
HIGHLIGHTS
PLAY FROM THE TEE OF YOUR CHOICE
The MGA Board of Directors and the MGA Tournament Committee desires that every MGA member regardless of age or ability have the opportunity to enjoy competing in our tournaments.
The majority of our tournaments are flighted based on handicap independent of tees played; accordingly the MGA Tournament Committee encourages all of our members to choose the tee that affords them the best opportunity to both compete and have an enjoyable round.
The MGA Tournament Committee conducts all of our tournaments in accordance with USGA rules and regulations; a member may choose the tee he wishes to play when he signs up for a tournament and he will be assigned the appropriate handicap in compliance with USGA regulation.
The MGA Tournament Committee attempts to maintain the narrowest possible handicap differential within each flight in order to maintain the competitiveness of the flight.
