Maple Ridge Golf Club

Men’s Golf Association (MGA)

      The Maple Ridge MGA is a great group of dedicated golfers who gather twice a month for tournament activity and social interaction. A year-long race for the “Maple Cup” matches MGA members, flighted by handicaps and chosen tees, in standings based on points earned each month.

      It costs only $25 to join for the year. MGA Sponsor Brent Burns Re/Max Prime Realty will pay that fee for all new Maple Ridge members joining the Club between October 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010, as well as buying their first Thursday MGA dinner.  Brent Burns, himself an MGA member, also has purchased $30 golf shop certificates for "closest-to-the-pin" winners on all Par 3's during these fifteen months of MGA tourneys!  This is a tremendous sponsorship that really enhances what the MGA stands for -- Thanks, Brent!

       On tournament day, MGA members pay $25 to enter.   $15 cart fee and an optional $5 “skins” game are additional. Most of this money is returned in prize money. Some is used for an annual “Legacy Gift” to the Club (such as past gifts of flat-screen TV’s, blinds and ceiling fans for the grille, ball-washers and benches for the par 3’s). A substantial gift is made at year’s end to the First Tee of Columbus to support youth golf.

      The MGA works like this: each tournament, 1st place winners in each flight earn 100 points, 2nd place earns 90 points, down to 10 points for 10th place. At the end of each three-month session, prize money will be distributed to the top four cumulative point winners as follows: 1st – $120;  2nd – $90; 3rd – $60;  4th – $30.

      At the end of the third session, totals from all nine points events are tallied. Payouts range from 18% of the Maple Cup prize fund for 1st place all the way down to 5% for 10th place. The Player of the Year also receives the Maple Cup trophy and a reserved parking space for a year.
