MSGA’s 2025 Golf Season is Arriving Soon!!!

We will open the season at Beechwood G. C. in LaPorte, IN on Wednesday May 7th.  The tournament is Opening Day of the 2025 season for the MSGA and the first of ten tournaments from May to September.  

As this is the Home page of our new and redesigned MSGA website, we invite you to explore all the pages shown at the top.  Much of the information is similar to the prior website with some additions and in an easier format to access.  Historical information is included.

As in prior years, we are using Blue Golf system for 2025 Annual Dues payments, tournament registrations, payments, online scoring via the internet and providing initial tournament results.   Official results with awards are posted on this MSGA website after results are confirmed and awards are calculated.

Each player has an account on the Blue Golf system with ID and password.  You may see the results of each event for all players whose scores were posted online during the tournament.  Preliminary results shown are Gross and Net scores and Skin awards by Flight.  The link to Blue Golf is:

If you need to create a Blue Golf account, you will need your World Handicap System number (8 digits). 

If you have not yet registered for the 2025 season call Tom Spartz at 219-363-2534 and he will assist you for any of the early season events. 

If you are not a current member but are looking to join the MSGA, review the FAQ above and click on the “Join MSGA” link above, fill out the application, submit and mail a check for Annual Dues of $75 to MSGA, P.O. Box 162, Valparaiso, IN 46384-0162.  If you are looking to play in the first events but have not registered, call Tom Spartz at 219-363-2534.

After we receive your application, we will add you to our membership list.  After your Blue Golf account is set up, you will be able to register for any or all of the events. You will be charged the event fee two days before the event via you credit card unless you have cancelled by communicating with Tom Spartz.

The interest level this spring has been good with most early season events already at 80+ entries but there are still plenty of spots open for all events. We expect that the average will be 90-100 players per event.

Each Tournament day includes lunch, golf, prize fund and skins pool. Email Tom Spartz at tomspartz@gmail.com  if you want to play with other specific members or just sign up and Tom will place you in foursomes. It’s a great way to meet others who also enjoy the game of golf on very competitive courses.

Innsbrook C. C. in Merrillville IN is on Monday May 19th. Entries are due by May 15th. The following event is at Knollwood C. C. – (West Course) in Granger, IN on Monday June 2nd. Entries are due by May 27th. 

For the 2024 season, we will continue with three sets of tees for players to choose from to match their skill levels. We have defined them as Front Tees (5100 yards), Middle Tees (5600) and Back Tees (6100). Tee lengths are approximate based on the course. The rule of 85 (age + handicap index) is required to play the Front Tees. All players may play the Middle or Back tees if they choose. Players may change their selected tee to better fit their skills at any time during the season. There are two flights within each Tee Group. Course handicaps are assigned based on a player’s handicap index and the tees they choose.

Players are encouraged to continue playing with their regular groups even though players may be playing from different tees.
