Player of The Year Award
The top point earner for each course* will compete in the New Era Cup for the Player of The Year Award in the same group. The lowest net score that day will be crowned with the NEGMGA Player of The Year Award. If the top point earner cannot play the day of the New Era Cup, then another player will be added for that team, but they will not be playing for Player of The Year Award.
Each Course will have a team in the New Era Cup except Golf Club of Dublin & Clover Valley Golf Club will team up to make 1 team.
Points are earned based up participation and final placement for each event. Please check the bottom of each Event Page for the New Era Cup Points to be earned for that event.
Limited Members Participating in NEGMGA Events
Limited Members are eligible to compete in events with a paid Green Fee at Registration. Please look for the Limited Member Option when signing up for events. If you don’t want to pay this fee, then you must become an Unlimited Member.
Handicap Reminders
All Members are expected to post their score following their round of golf. This can be done at the handicap computer in the golf shops or online at
Active Season for Posting Scores in Ohio: March 15thto November 30th.
Speak with the golf shop staff at your home course about activating your GHIN Handicap. If you are an Unlimited Member, the GHIN Handicap Fee is included in your membership. If you are a Limited Member, you will need to pay $45 for the GHIN Handicap Fee for the season.
Tournament Scores will be posted by the Golf Staff, not the member. Therefore please do not post your scores for the NEGMGA Events.
This year the Golf Staff and Handicap Committee will be randomly reviewing daily score posting. We will compare the tee sheet with scores posted for that day. If you have any questions or concerns regarding handicaps, please email JR Borchers at .
Equitable Stroke Control (ESC)
ESC was put in place by the USGA to limit the Highest Score a player may post for any hole. It varies by handicap. The following chart outlines the MAXIMUM POSTABLE SCORE for any hole for each handicap range.
