Anybody here a member of the MGA Tour?

Mediocre Golf Association - Amateur Golf Tournaments | MGA Tour

We have the world championships coming up in a few weeks with around 400 guys / gals registered.

 

 

Here's a video from the 2017 event.

Wow, mediocre is right. I looked at the Grand Rapids Chapter results and they were ... well... mediocre. Anyone scoring in the 80's is going to be a winner and pickup "money" in the area of $1.13 or so.

So if someone "good" joins and they shoot 79, do they get kicked out?

If you break 80 in any MGA event you are disqualified.

I'm a member in Florida.  I'll be at the WC!  Are you headed there?

Yep. I got one of the bronze tickets after winning the Brattish open.

So having the round of your life can get you kicked out.  Seems a bit arbitrary.  If the person has multiple good rounds (in the 70's) then it might be appropriate

Not kicked out, just disqualified from that event.

This will help explain it a bit.

Very nice!  One of our guys got a bronze ticket last year.  Unfortunately, he caught Covid and couldn't go.  Our chapter leader spoke to Jon and he's been allowed to cash it in this year.  Are you going Wednesday or Thursday?  I'm flying in Wednesday afternoon for the 3 rounds.

I'm driving up Thursday. Only playing the two rounds for the tournament. This old body can't handle three days in a row.

The last time I looked our chapter is bring 23 guys. It blows me away that the Yellowknife chapter is bring 21 guys or so from Northern Canada.

Wow, 23!!  I know, Yellowknife always brings a large group and they bring the party!  We're only sending myself and 2 others.  Our average age in the chapter is ~65.  Our outgoing CL, and 6 other members, all live in the same 55+ community!  LOL

Great idea.  Almost started a chapter.
