After a long and very white winter, we are finally seeing green and the golf season is just around the corner! With the first year under my belt as the Executive Director of the Missouri Golf Association, I am trying hard to continue the momentum of a great first year, and continue leading us to better things for years to come.First of all we are trying to make everything more User friendly for our players by moving all of our entries online for the first time, eliminating bulk mail to all our participants. So far it has been a huge success and we look forward to improving the process even more in the future.
Another new addition for the MGA this year is the Senior Series for players 50 and over. We are going to have twelve separate 1-day events throughout the state, leading up to the Tour Championship to be held in October. What makes this series so wonderful is that it’s geared to all levels of golfers. In each age group players are competing in both gross and net divisions, providing an opportunity for all players to have a chance to win. We’ve had an overwhelming response to this series so far and we are looking forward to this new venture.
The week of June 18th we are having our 100th Missouri Amateur Championship at Jefferson City Country Club. This event is rich in history with many great names in golf that have won this prestigious honor; Tom Watson, Payne Stewart, Jim Colbert and Don Bliss to name just a few. I encourage golf fans from all over the Midwest to come see some of Missouri’s best compete for this prestigious title.Last, but certainly not least, for the first time in MGA history,
young ladies will be able to compete in our one day Hieronymus Junior events. There are five of these events during the summer for kids ages 10 to 18. We also have a Junior Event in June for boys and girls under the age of 10. I can hardly wait for my 3-year-old daughter, Taylor, to become a participant! The Junior Golf program is a great place for young people to get involved with such a great sport.
As you can see, we are trying to build the Missouri Golf Association to be among the best in the country. If you like the game of golf and you like to compete, I encourage you to come out and join us. For additional information about the MGA, or specific information regarding certain events, check us out on the web at www.mogolf.org. I hope to see you soon on the first tee.
