2007 Golf Season News
The ED Speaks
I would like to thank each and every one of you for your participation in our 2006 events offered by the Missouri Golf Association. It was an outstanding year all the way around. We here in Missouri are very fortunate to have outstanding member clubs that allow us to use their wonderful facilities. However, our events would not be successful without your efforts.
The 2007 golfing year is just around the corner and we here at the MGA office are hard at work to make this year the best we ever had. There are some changes that we have made for the upcoming year and also some additions. I encourage you to read through this at your convenience to be brought up to speed with what is happening.
1. Entry forms: Entry forms for all MGA competitive programs may be printed from the MGA’s website (http://www.mogolf.org/) and mailed to the association office. Entries may also be done online with payment made with a credit card. Otherwise call the MGA office to have entry mailed to you (573-636-8994)
2. First day of entries: For the first time you may now enter all the MGA events that you want to play at one time. Staring March 5, 2007 every tournament will be open for players to enter. You can pay for all the tourneys at one time. No entry will be accepted prior to 9:00 a.m. on that date.
3. Senior Series: Starting new in 2007, we are beginning a new series of one day events throughout the state for golfers over the age of 50. These competitions will take place on various days of the week and will be all shotgun starts. Please check the Senior Series schedule for the tournament dates and all the series details to compete in these events you must be a member of the senior series, the cost is $65 for a membership.
4. Ozark Senior Challenge Cup: Beginning in 2007 a team of 12 members from the Senior Series will compete against a team of players from Kansas in a challenge cup. The event runs over a three-day period with a practice round. Then A.M. Four ball matches and P.M. Foursome matches. The last day will be singles matches. Four players will compete in the net division and eight players will compete in the scratch division.
5. Association Senior Cup: Beginning in 2007 also a team of 6 members from the Senior Series all over the age of 65 will compete against a team from Kansas. Two players will compete in the net and four players in the scratch. The event will be three days, with a practice round, and then AM foursome matches then P.M. four ball matches. The final day will be Single matches.
6. Electronic Measuring Distance Devices: Our experience with these devices in 2006 was positive. The players that used them found it to be very helpful and they helped the pace of play to a small degree. The MGA will continue to allow the use of EMDs in 2007 for all but junior-only competitions. If you would like to get the best price on a Bushnell (Tournament edition), go to the link on the MGA home page and click on the Bushnell advertisement.
7. Junior events: Two new junior tourneys for the 07 year are on the books. Check the Jr. Schedule for all the details about them.
8. 2007 MGA competition schedules: The sites and dates for the 2007 MGA championship schedule are up on the tournament page for your viewing. The Senior Series schedule is still being finalized, however all other events are set.
Here is to good golfing in 2007!!!!
