Fernandina Beach Men's Golf Association

  FBMGA Members:

I wanted to update you on our FBMGA Tournaments and ask your opinion on some matters:

1.    Today's Pinehurst-Chapman Tournament was postponed until January 16, 2021. Probably should have waited and started playing at 8:30 and everything would have been fine, but the forecast was not nice.

2.    FBMGA/FBWGA Christmas Tournament is Saturday, December 12 with a 12:00 PM Shotgun Start. The sign up sheet is next to the FBMGA Lock Box in the Pro Shop. Put your $25 entry fee (CASH ONLY) in an envelope clearly marked "FOR CHRISTMAS TOURNAMENT"

3.    I will be working on a January - March 2021 FBMGA Tournament Schedule. The Pinehurst-Chapman will be rescheduled for January 16.

4. Should we have a KNOCK-OUT Match play Tournament? Maybe a single elimination instead of double elimination. Let me know your thoughts. This would start early January.

5.    Super Bowl Tournament - Saturday, February 6, 2021 - We did not have any real interest last year, and that was after I lowered the entry fee to $50. Perhaps some members could step up and help me organize this tournament and really promote it. Should it be three man scramble or four man scramble? What should the entry fee be? Let me know if you would like to be on the committee and help organize this event.

6. Future Tournaments: If you have an idea for February or March, please let me know. The "BUBBA IS GOOD" came from Jim Hurley and was much fun. Maybe there is another idea that everyone will like.

I hope that Steve Murphy will join us at our Wednesday, January 6, 2021 meeting and update us on the status of the Top Tracer Project, The North Course green renovations and plans for growing grass on certain holes on the South Course. 

Please contact me with any questions, ideas, concerns regarding our FBMGA Tournaments. Thanks, and see you around the FBGC.
