MGAWC23: Know Before You Go

THE INTERNET, CA – Two rounds, in the desert with my MEDI.. MEDI.. MEDIOS!!

We’re as pumped as you are and can’t wait to see everyone this week. As always, we’ll have a mix of vets and first timers out there, but we recommend that everybody read this article.

MGAWC.com

Got a question? Look here first.

This is the one-stop-shop for all MGAWC23 information. If it’s on here, it’s kinda official. If it’s not on here, please send El Presidente a message, because he probably forgot to post whatever it is you’re looking for.

This is the place to find fields, schedules, pairings and results. Make sure to check the news feed too for the daily “Notes and info” post, which will include any late-breaking information for the day.

We recommend saving MGAWC.com to the home screen on your phone for quick and easy access.

#MGAWC23

This is the official event hashtag and Instagram is our preferred social media.

We encourage Born Hairy participants to use this same hashtag as we are all one big dysfunctional family. But if you want to be Born Hairy strong and do your own thing, we recommend #BHTC23.

INTRODUCTIONS

The proper way to introduce yourself is “I’m (insert full name) from (insert chapter)MGA.”

You should probably do this even if you’ve partied with the person at the previous 13 MGAWCs, because names are hard and Vegas memories are shrowded in a haze like no other.

THE WEATHER

It looks like it’s going to be pretty damn nice!

High 60s and low 70s for our golf, but then falling into the 50s at night (coincidentally when our Thursday Night Party and Awards Ceremony will be taking place).

AIRPORT TRANSPORT

You’ll be shocked to learn the Downtown Grand does not have a complimentary shuttle from the airport.

There is a however, a $6 bus that will drop you kinda close to the hotel. It will take a little planning on your part, but here’s the link if this sort of thing is your jam.

This bus, like everything else trying to get around Vegas right now, might be affected by the F1 track construction.

HOTEL

You will need a credit card at check-in for a $100 incidental hold, but there shouldn’t be any additional charges or fees beyond that. You will need to check in at the counter and not the kiosk, because you don’t have your confirmation number from the Downtown Grand.

You can confirm the check-in (3PM) and check-out (11AM) dates we have for you HERE. Again, the order # shown is from your Big Cartel order and is not a hotel confirmation number.

If you have any issues, please text El Presidente at (415) 215-0839 and for the love of god, tell him your full name when you text him, so he has at least one clue to solve the mystery of how you screwed things up.

TEE BOXES

The tee boxes for the field at both the WC and the Born Hairy will be marked with our own custom tee markers. They won’t be out for the practice rounds, but most of our markers will end up at the Gold tees on Revere, with a few Silvers mixed in. Medios at Arroyo will be playing the Blue tees.

SENIORS – Any medios who play from the senior tees at their home events and have their entire MGA handicap based on those tees, may move forward from our custom tee markers to the next set of marked tees (whatever color those may be) and tee off from there.

LADIES – Any ladies who play from the forward tees at their home events and have their entire MGA handicap based on those tees, may tee off from the Bronze tees at Revere or the Green tees at Arroyo.
