February Season Opener

Teams are still registering, we had over 25 Wednesday.  Please come by the pro shop to sign in!  Mr. Jimmy will be cooking Chicken Spaghetti for everyone to enjoy, and we have recieved a generous donation of a G20 driver which we will raffle for $5 a ticket.  We will also be selling mulligans for $5 a ticket.  100% of the proceeds from both the raffle and mulligans will go directly to the purchase of chemicals for Randy to continue improving our course.  This is one of the many small things you can do to help keep our dues down and the course in great shape!  I hope to see you all on the course!

Also, if anyone would like to purchase sponsor signs for the 2012 tournament season, please contact riverlands.mga@gmail.com

2012 Events Calendar

I hope everyone is looking forward to the 2012 golf season at Riverlands!  The MGA Board met January 31st to start plans on our 2012 calendar.  We solidified dates through August and scoped tenative dates from September on.  Those dates will become more concrete after the football schedules are finalized.

We will open our season again with two person Best Ball Invitational event on February 26th.  This event is open to any MGA member and guest, although MGA members with little or no friends willing to tolerate 18 holes with them may play with another lonely MGA member.  The entry fee for this will again be $35 per player and we will use full handicaps for all players.  This will be a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m. so we can hustle up all the late minute additions/changes/deletions that will inevitably occur Saturday evening.  We will provide a lunch after play (included in your entry fee.)
