WCCC Senior Men's Golf Association (SMGA)
For Senior Men Golfers at WCCC.
President's Letter
I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and brought the New Year about in style. It is time to say goodbye to 2023 and welcome 2024. Now it's time to get back to golf.
Here is what we have in store for the SMGA in 2024:
Last year some of the board members talked about short golf trips and day outings that the SMGA can organize for the membership. I think that we will organize and attempt two of these outings this year. As with any new endeavor, planning will be required, so if you are interested in these events, you will be expected to sign up early.
The focus of the SMGA Board will be on ways to add value and benefits to your SMGA Membership.
To that end here is a rundown:
- We raised the Level of the Memorial Member-Member under the guidance of Tom Avery our Tournament Director. I hope that we can continue to keep it at this level. Please note that the Member-Member has been moved to the first week of October.
- The Top 30 Gifts are in and will be handed out at events starting January 11th at the Membership Meeting.
- Last year we added the Dallas Senior Interclub which allowed some of us to play other area clubs. We found the courses a little longer (like playing the Blue/White Combos here), and very challenging. Nevertheless it was fun and we (WCCC) will participate again this year.
- The SMGA Championship will be back in 2024 for year 4. The Event has been moved to the end of May. Watch for more information on the website and in emails..
- The points qualifier system will also be back. There will be some changes to accommodate for the short qualification period so look for them!
- The Tournament Directors are working on new formats that might be fun. I know the Red and White is a lot of fun.
- Guest Days will still be limited, but expect them to reappear, although with tighter controls on guest handicaps. It is a great way to bring a guest to the course.
In 2023 we had some great turnouts. We have every reason to believe we will continue the trend. I am excited to get this new year kicked off and running, and hope for everyone's continued enjoyment and safety.
May you hit many Fairways and Greens!
Michael Monroe
President
