A majority of the tournaments are ABCD level team selection with pairings done by the professional staff. This provides a wide participation by all levels of players and a congenial relationship among all members.
MGA Cost
The annual fee to join the MGA is $60. Each tournament is efficiently priced at an average of approximately $35 for one day events.
Benefits of MGA Membership
Each Saturday tournament is preceded by a Friday late afternoon social gathering. This includes putting contests, hors d’oeuvres and beer keg hosted in the Plantation Club’s Tournament Plaza. All MGA members are welcomed to join the social gathering regardless of their tournament participation.
Tournament day features a beer keg and lunch for all participants followed by prizes rewarding the day’s winners.
A byproduct of MGA tournaments is that new residents often become assimilated into the Plantation membership where they can learn of other existing golfing groups that focus on their playing preferences.
