Men's Golf Association
The $70 MGA fee will primarily be used for hosting a Men’s Kickoff event and a season ending Golf Event & Awards Banquet. Also, $10 of the $70 fee is allocated to the Hole-in-One club. The money collected for the MGA will be used by the discretion of the Men’s Golf Committee and is not a club fee. The MGA not only begins and ends the year with a bang but will instill a sense of commitment and camaraderie by the men who frequently participate in events and those that may only play a few times. We can all share in the excitement of the “club experience” through a season opening and season closing party.

The Men’s Golf Schedule is comprised of 5 "Majors": The Black & Tan, The Legacy(s), The Club Championship, The Shield & Stone and The Tradition. A Legend golf member must be a member of the MGA to participate in any of the 5 “majors”.

The Men’s Program also includes: Thursday golf (Noon and 6:00), PGA RSM Team Championship, Mercedes Dealer Championships, and weekly Saturday morning tee events.

The Club Championship
Saturday, July 12th
8:00 a.m. Shotgun – First Round Matches
Every club has a champion... we now have 6! The club championship is put into 6 flights aptly named after "Legends of Golf": Payne Stewart, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead, Ben Crenshaw and Gene Sarazen. The player's handicap ultimately decides which flight they will compete in and each twosome plays match play off the low handicap (except for the Stewart Flight). However, anyone may play in the Championship (Stewart) Flight... they just need to understand that it is gross golf... no handicaps! So, tee it up and become part of history as a Club Champion no matter what flight!
