NGLGCSA CHAMPS!!!!!

It is Official, team MGC #1 just defended our home turf and won the NGLGCSA crew tournament!!!!!!

Myself, Dennis Kargela, Andy McCormick and Ryan Daust played lights out golf to shoot a (-13)58 in the heavy fog where visibility was about 50 to 70 yards.

When we started I thought a 6 under round might win the event with our given climatic conditions but we made every makeable putt today. Congrats guys, a job well done!!!!!

Frost

Our first Big Frost of the Fall this morning. More are sure to follow.

Cooler weather and a little bit of rain, our turf is happier now!!

Many of you I am sure have notice the bird houses Scot and I built this winter and put out around the course. I donated the wood and my time for this project because I really wanted to help the Bluebird population in our area. Open fields make a golf course an ideal habitat for these birds. The program was a complete success as our blue bird population exploded!!

As you see in the picture above, it becomes difficult for birds to nest in these boxes when they are vandalized. Please help us and our wonderful ecosystem by just enjoying the beauty of these birds with their bug eating habits. Actions like these are counter productive and disheartening.
