2024 Season Premier MGA Dogfight Wrap Up
The decision to go ahead and have the MGA Season Premier this Saturday turned out to be the correct thing to do. We did not get the 1 to 3 inches of rain that was forecast for Friday and the course was in good condition for golf.
The MGA provided a breakfast buffet and a hotdog lunch for all the golfers and the Alpine staff. The girls in the grille did a wonderful job.
We had 12 (4 man teams) teams to compete. The golfers were divided into four divisions depending on their handicap and then the names were drawn randomly to determine the teams. There was also a Yellow Ball competition within the dogfight.
Immediately after the results were in, we took the five golfers that were most over their dogfight points in the tournament and had a shootout. There was a tie for 5th so we had six golfers in the shootout.
Results:
DOGFIGHT RESULTS: We had a tie for 1st place at +11 points between the teams of (Ray Ferguson, Cory Baird, Jimbo Williams & Mathu Travis) and ( Harry Gaither, Jim Gorman, John Harris & Chris Palmer). These two teams split 1st & 2nd place money. 3rd place went to the team of Moses Ngirailab, Mike Sweatman, Andy Payant & Steven Powell. Their team finished at +9 above their point quota.
YELLOW BALL RESULTS: Yellow Ball winning teams were 1st place (Gaither, Gorman, Harris & Palmer) 2nd place (Jeff Bullen, Jimmy Ray, Craig Herrod & Jamie Kimberly) and 3rd place was (Ngirailab, Sweatman, Payant & Powell).
The shootout was between (Moses Ngirailab, Mike Sweatman, Doug MacMurdo, JImbo Williams, Harry Gaither and Skeet Harper). The shootout takes place exclusively on hole #18 so that the gallery on the porch can watch and cheer. Skeet and Moses were eliminated in the 1st round. Doug was out on the 2nd round and Sweaty was eliminated in the 3rd round. Jimbo and Harry had to play two additional rounds before Harry was able to take the overall shootout championship. Harry received $300 for 1st and Jimbo received the $200 2nd prize.
The entry fees totaled $940.00. Our payback total was $1820.00. That is a 193% payback. Thanks to the MGA, we are able to have these tournaments at the beginning and at the end of the year as well as provide financial relief and assistance to some local charities or families.
If you are a member of Alpine Bay, we would like for you to join our MGA (Men’s Golf Association) and take part in our tournaments and dogfights. The cost to join is $25 annually.
2023 MGA SEASON ENDING DOGFIGHT WRAP UP
We had 48 members to play in our year end MGA dogfight. The weather cooperated and we had a really nice December day to play.
The MGA provided a breakfast buffet before the MGA meeting and dogfight. The meeting brought about a couple of proposed rule changes and two new persons on the tournament committee. Max Whitfield and Bobby Denty were the members added.
The winners in the dogfight were as follows. 1st place went to Tony Evans. Tony was 6 points above his quota. 2nd place went to Moses Ngirailab at +5. There was a tie for 3rd place all at +4. They were Jimmy Brasher, David Mills, Steven Powell and Eric Smith. Cory Baird and Jim Gorman finished at +3 each to get in the pay back. Finishing out the pay back was Ray Ferguson, Terry Pruet, Brian Galloway, Harry Gaither and Jim Brown all finishing +2 above their quota.
We had a closest to the pin on all four par 3s. Andy Payant was closest on #4 (1’6”), Moses on #8 (8ft), Jeff Ingram on #14 (5”8”) and Terry Brown on #17 (1” 7”).
The top six dogfight finishers advanced to the $1000.00 ($500 cash/$500 Charity) shoot out that took place exclusively on hole #18. Two were eliminated during the 1st two rounds and it came down to Moses and Steven Powell. Moses outlasted Steven after a couple of rounds to take the 1st place prize in the shoot out.
This dogfight and shootout paid out a total of $1960.00. That is a very impressive pay back for a $20 entry fee. The only way we can continue this is through each of you participating in our regular dogfights whenever you have an opportunity. Two dollars from each dogfight participant goes to the MGA. This amount along with the $25.00 annual dues is how we hold these events as well as make contributions to local charities.
Congratulations to all the prize winners and thanks to all the 48 members that participated. A special thanks to the staff here at Alpine for their effort to assure that this event was enjoyed by all that participated.
