Welcome to the Men’s Golf Association Website for the Year 2009!

 

As we get ready for the New Year I would like to remind everyone of our Mission Statement:

 

“To promote fellowship through activities and events which create participation, interaction and friendly competition among MGA golfing members of Walnut Creek Country Club.”

 

The new MGA Board is busy preparing the schedule and tournament guide for 2009.    We appreciate everyone’s comments and suggestions that we have gathered and we will be conducting an on-line survey in the near future. Our goal is to provide the best tournaments that can be enjoyable and competitive across all handicaps and playing ability.  If there is anything we can do to improve please let us know, we value your opinions and ideas.
