2009 Is Here

Well the 2009 MGA season is just around the corner now and before we know it this cold winter weather will be gone and golf balls will be flying through the air. It can’t get here fast enough for me. I am excited about the upcoming year and the great venues where our tournaments will be held.

The 2009 schedule is out and you can see it at www.mogolf.org, also keep watching the web site to see when you can start entering the 2009 events. That date and time should be published soon.

In 2009 we are going to try some new things to better your experience. First off we are going to offer text messaging of your tee time to you. This will require you, the player, to add your cell phone number and cell phone carrier in your player profile when you log in. This new feature is going to be handy because instead of having to find a computer each night to get your tee time for the next day, now your time will be sent directly to your phone.

The other new feature that the MGA is excited to offer in 2009 is a partnership with Drury Hotel Property’s, they will be the official hotel for the Missouri Golf Association. This new partnership is going to allow you, the players, to get discounted room rates where a Drury Hotel is located in city that our Championships are being held in. Also, a MGA code is going to be available that will allow you to get discounts at Drury hotels all over, even when not participating in one of our events. I want to thank Drury for stepping up to the plate and helping us and you out in the upcoming year and years to come.

Keep watching the MGA webs site for new stories about the golfing world and also tips on how to get your game and body ready for the upcoming year. Also, I will be sending out some more blogs in the upcoming days to keep you informed on what is going on.

Until I see you on the first tee!

Scott
