FRIDAY NOTES AND INFO

The time has come!!! Make sure you not only make the bus, but that you get on the right bus. It should be easy, since the early birds in the Born Hairy will be hot on the worm’s tail long before the MGAWC busses leave.

MEDIOCRE ELEVATORS

Give yourself enough time to deal with the shit show that is the elevator bank in the Grand tower. Personally, I take the stairs down everytime at the end of the hall. It lets you out directly across the street from the bus pickup!

TAG YOUR BAG

Before you put your bag on the bus, make sure you have a name tag on it. When you get to the course, the staff will be unloading the bags and putting them onto your cart for you.

BUS PICKUP

The busses will all pick up on 3rd street, at the hotel exit by the front desk. There will be many, many golfers there, so it will be hard to miss.

There will be two 56-passenger busses taking you Born Hairy-ers to Arroyo Golf Club. They will leave a 6:30 AM.

BORN HAIRY -entry list-

There will be four 56-passenger busses taking MGAWCers to Revere. They will leave at 7:30 AM.

MGAWC -entry list-

PAIRINGS

Pairings for round 1 were set using your Global Money List position.

The pairings will be on the carts and there will be course staff to help you to your cart, but you can also check them out at the bottom of this page to see who you’re playing with.

Both tournaments are shotgun starts. The Born Hairy starts at 8 and the MGAWC starts at 9.

REVERE COURSE LAYOUT

In case you missed last year, we now play Lexington and Concord straight through instead of mixing nines. You’ll play each course once.

TEE BOXES

The tee markers for the field on all of the courses are custom made MGA tee markers. Play from those markers and curse El Presidente all you like as you struggle to cover the short-as-reasonably-possible forced carries.

As a reminder, anyone whose entire MGA handicap and competition history for 2023 is based on senior tees, may play up at the next set of tee markers in front of the MGAWC and Born Hairy markers.

Any ladies whose entire MGA handicap and competition history for 2023 is based on ladies tees, may play the Bronze tees at Revere and the Green tees at Arroyo.

FOOD

At both courses, you will get a boxed lunch and two drink tickets (stapled to your scorecard at both courses).

POST ROUND

When you finish your round, make sure the two scorecards in your group match and then hand them to the soberest person to deliver them to our volunteers. Put the most legible one on top.

After the round at Revere, we will hold the Kinda Long Drive and Kinda Close to the pin challenges. If you won a sticker this year at either of those, you’re in the competition.

Those will take place right behind the clubhouse, just like last year.

Arroyo is going to try and let us do a standalone Long Drive and CTP challenge after our round there, but it’s not guaranteed since we don’t have the whole course rented out. If we can’t do it, we will need to hold the competition during the Saturday round instead.

CLUB STORAGE

Both courses will allow you to leave your clubs with them overnight.

If you do leave your clubs, you are leaving them at your own risk. If they disappear or you don’t show up the last day to take them home, the MGA is not responsible. We learned that one the hard way…

BUS BACK

The busses will load up and head back to the hotel once everyone gets off the course. That should be around 2:30 at the Born Hairy (damn well better be) and 3:30-ish at the MGAWC. We give lots of warnings before the last bus leaves, but if you’re still out on course, you won’t hear them.

No SLUUUUGGGGSSSSS!

AFTER PARTY AND GO-TO HANG SPOT

It’s free-range Friday, with no planned events after the round. Have a great fucking time, tag your pics with #MGAWC23 and upload your best MEDIO: THE SONG video clips here.
