One step closer!

Well unless you've been living under a rock the last few days, you know what's coming. While you're stuck in the house starving to death because the supermarket shelves were bare by the time you got there, why not plan out your 2015 MGA competition season?

Online registration for 2015 MGA Championships will open a week from Thursday. That's right. A. Week. From. Thursday. Can you believe it?! (Because we kind of can't.)

And the lineup of Championship Proper and qualifying sites we have is a little ridiculous. We spend a majority of the season in Central Mass - with highlights being a trip to the historic Oak Hill CC for the Amateur Championship, and the Amateur Public Links Championship at the scenic Red Tail GC. Mid-Amateurs will face the challenging greens of Marlborough CC, and the Juniors will be tested on Hopkinton CC's layout.

The courses that have stepped forward to host qualifying rounds aren't too shabby, either! We've got Willowbend, Tedesco, Dedham C&PC, Plymouth, Concord, Brae Burn, and Turner Hill, just to name a few.

But before we even get to these sites, we have something pretty cool lined up for the Four-Ball Championship. We will spend two days in the city of Boston at George Wright and William J. Devine! This will be a great way to kick off the 2015 season in the greatest city in America.

And the biggest development of all - starting this year, the Open Championship will be truly OPEN. Now, amateurs from ANYWHERE (as long as you have an active USGA GHIN number and meet eligibility requirements) can try for their shot at the historic Massachusetts Open title at Black Rock Country Club.

So while you're snowed in the next few days, get excited! Plan out your 2015 golf schedule! Click here for the complete 2015 Championship Schedule
