The MGA is announcing changes to the MGA Board. With the retirement of Ed Jackson from the President’s position earlier this year, Chris Martin was officially appointed MGA President and relieved of his responsibilities as Tournament Chairman. Tom McCarthy, formally an outstanding member of the Tournament Committee, was appointed the new Tournament Chairman. Jeff Rohe has retired from his officer position as Handicap Chairman and will be replaced by a member of the Handicap Committee, Ron Morehead. The Officers would like to thank both Ed and Jeff for their service and tremendous contribution to the board and the MGA community. All changes described above will take effect immediately.
The Officers would also like to remind you that all MGA Officer positions will be up for election later this year, and the newly elected Board will assume position in January of 2010.

The Handicap Committee is working to establish a systemic link with GHIN. The reporting link would enable the Committee to more easily review rounds posted versus rounds played. We expect this link to be up within a few months. Please remember to post all of your scores and apply Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) as the Committee will be performing a review later this month. -Ron Morehead, Handicap Chairman
-Jeff Rohe, Handicap Chairman |

These new rules cover such items as the number of required posted rounds before certain tournaments in order to be eligible to play, and how which set of tees you will play from are determined in events with Mixed Tee Competition.

The Finance Committee continues to work with the club to reduce costs and determine the most appropriate way to spend our funds. During the 2009 Member Guest, the club made significant contributions to lower our food and beverage costs, and helped facilitate the incorporation of several outside sponsors during the event.
We remain on committed to our 2009 budget and to date have no significant deviations from the budget to report at this time.
