If you don't like the weather...wait 5 minutes

Boy, is it cold out today! We are just about wrapping up the 34th MGA Four-Ball Championship. After what felt like July weather yesterday, we are now in the arctic. Kidding obviously, it's not THAT cold out...but I think the 40 degree temperature drop and whipping winds really threw some people for a loop!

Nonetheless, we had a fantastic tournament and saw some great golf. Alex Stimpson & James Kroeger, who were the 2012 Four-Ball Champions, posted a ridiculous round to take home the 2014 title.

That's a lot of birdies
These guys also happen to be employees of our valued Patron, Titleist! So not only do we congratulate them, but we also thank them for all they do for the MGA. 

Additionally, we have to extend our sincere appreciation to our two host sites, Ferncroft CC, and The Golf Club at Turner Hill for helping us put on our largest event of the year, with nearly 400 golfers...that is a LOT of people. Especially impressive is the fact that this part of the state had a horrible winter, and these two courses put in a lot of work to get ready to host us.

Also, I didn't hate hanging out in a turn of the century mansion for two days...if you haven't been to Turner Hill, the place is pretty sweet. I took the opportunity to wander around the mansion for a minute - you know, because it was so cold out and I just had to stay inside - and it's pretty impressive. No wonder so many people I know got married here!

Anyway, back to golf. Another thank you has to be extended to our Rules Officials. These guys kill it out there! It's easy to do what they do on a day like Monday, when it was perfect and summery. But today, they were out there too. It was not quite as pleasant outside today, but they went out there with a smile on their faces because they love the game of golf and love the MGA. Couldn't ask for anything more!!

We're off and running with the 2014 season! Next week, the Senior Four-Ball down the Cape. Keep up with us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter!
