Visitors and Guests:
Welcome to the website of the Michiana Seniors Golf Association (MSGA). The organization is made up of amateur senior players (age 50+) who love and enjoy the game of golf and a little competition and fellowship on some great golf courses. The Michiana area includes Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan.
If you are a senior amateur player who enjoys playing golf on some of Michiana’s premium golf courses, the MSGA is the organization for you and your golfing friends.
Tournaments are flighted by handicap, so players are competing against similarly skilled players. MSGA tournaments are played from three different tees to fit each player’s skill level.
The Blue Golf software system is used for MSGA dues payments, event registrations/payments and online scoring including automatically posting of player scores for handicap purposes.
Tournament Entry Fees include Golf with cart, lunch (unless noted), use of practice facilities and awards including Skin games. Awards are presented for flight low gross and multiple low net winners and Skins by flight based on the number of entries.
Click on the links above to see more information about the MSGA.
If you have any questions or need more information about the MSGA, please contact Tom Spartz (219-363-2534) or any of the Board of Directors.
