Welcome to the Kingwood Men's Golf Association

 

 

We should start by thanking the 2021 MGA board for their efforts last season and welcoming the Kingwood MGA membership to the new 2022 season. Last year we continued working with many of the Covid-19 safety practices that altered many of the norms in KMGA programs. We will talk about of few of activities that have been shelved over the prior year that we are planning to re-activate in 2022. Please understand this...we will be subject to The Clubs of Kingwood policies and will conform to those policies. Since we are citizens of Harris County, we will be following a historically more conservative Covid-19 protocol.

 

We have put together a tournament schedule for this year that will feature similar formats as last year. Please see the tournament schedule for full details. Tournament registration for our MGA events will be managed through the Golf Genius website (www.golfgenius/ggid/KMGA) or App. You will find the KMGA website there along with most of the other Kingwood golf groups. We have been using Golf Genius for our tournament scoring and are happy to have the benefit of its additional capabilities in managing the KMGA program.

 

Many of us have missed the camaraderie of the luncheons after the tournaments. We are planning to start this back up on a quarterly basis with either a lunch or breakfast. We will also be bringing back the "Draft Party" before many of the Four (4) Man events...there may be a keg tapped for those occasions so get there early.

 

We completed the first year of the Medalist Program with our newest board member, Matthew Thompson, emerging as the 2021 Medalist Champion.

 

Below are some statistics on the program:

  • Average number of participants per month: 43.8
  • Number of unique participants: 81
  • Prize pool: $2,145

 

Our goal for 2022 is to increase the average number of participants to 80 players – we need your help so share the word, invite your friends and introduce new members to the program.

 

Below is a summary of the 2021 tournaments:

We have added one new board member this year. Matt Thompson will be our New Member/Young Executive Chairman for the 2022 season.

 

And a big thanks to Brett Warren, our 2021 President. Brett stays on the board for 2022 as the Past President. Rusty Rivet, Bob Joyce, Weldon Ware and Sid Labbe are leaving the Board but not the course...all have played big roles in the success of this organization.

 

Additionally, if you have any concerns about our events, please provide this feedback to either me, our tournament director, or any board member. Please do not use the golf shop for tournament feedback. They are simply working with us to implement the tournaments.

 

Thank you for your time and support of our Kingwood MGA. Invite a friend to play in our events. Let us make 2022 a memorable year for the Men's Golf Association at Kingwood.
