First off, It is with great
pleasure that I once again
have been given the opportunity to serve as your MGA
President for the 2012
golf season. As most of you
know, this is not a new venture for me so
rest assured that myself and the
entire Board of Directors will
do everything in our realm to make this one of the
greatest seasons ever. The Board consists of 10
other dedicated golfers that truly care about what this
club is about - they want to be part of an exciting,
dynamic
organization and they will. My philosophy, quite simple: all
tournaments and decision I make WILL be
FAIR, CONSISTENT
and in line with our Constitution and
especially, in the best interest
of our membership. I will always
keep the entire membership in mind and do what is best
for the vast majority of golfers that play here.
Over the past
22+
years that I have been a member here I have built many
relationships and participated in many events.
Golfers play at Eagle Watch because of the quality of
the course (the greens!) and because of the people. We have many
organized groups of players and a whole array of
tournaments that we can partake in if that is where our
interests reside. Yes, we all play from different
tees and we all have preconceived notions about how the
handicap system works (or should
work) but in the long run we always
congregate at the 19th hole and enjoy the socialization
aspect of the game and talk about the skins/money we won or
lost.
The MGA approach
for this year will be diverse,
similar to last year. We will mix up the
formats of the events, some will be from tournament tees
and some will be from the tees that we normally play
from. Some events will be flighted, some will not.
There will be an equal number of Gross and Net events as
there will be an equal number of events played on
Saturdays and Sundays. Our three major events, The
Cream of the Crop (April), the
Ryder Cup matches (September) and the
new MGA Member-Member
which we will conduct in a "Creme of
the Crop" type format (October) will be two-day events with an abundance of
prizes, gifts, food and beverages. Clearly, you
don't want to miss these. Thursday Night Men's
League will kick off in March as this is always an
attraction for the members (MGA
Members Only). Two of the Thursday
nights we will add food, beverages (and maybe cigars) in
the agenda so you are assured to have a good time.
We are also bringing back our popular Night Golf events,
one in the spring and one in the fall. Anyone who
has played in these events before will tell you it is an
experience you do not want to let pass you by.
Please remember to always check our
website (www.ewmga.com)
for updates, tournament results and announcements.
This website will give you complete information on
tournaments, rules, contacts and more. We will
also use the website for spotlighting the next
tournament and will give you the opportunity to sign-up
online, along with renewing or joining the MGA
at the convenience of your office or
your own home.
Definitely good stuff.
So overall I want
to assure you that this Board will make things happen
this year. We will be proactive on all of our
communication by keeping you up to speed on tournaments,
social events and organizational updates. If you
have feedback for us, we want to hear it - all we
ask is that you keep it constructive and give us a
chance to act on it. Let's have some fun this year
- thanks!
...Gary Janos
