The Legend at Bristle Cone Pines

Men's Golf

The $80 MGA fee will primarily be used for hosting a Men's Kickoff event and a season ending Golf Event & Awards Banquet. Also, $10 of the $80 fee is allocated to the Hole-in-One club. The money collected for the MGA will be used by the discretion of the Men's Golf Committee and is not a club fee. The MGA not only begins and ends the year with a bang but will instill a sense of commitment and camaraderie by the men who frequently participate in events and those that may only play a few times. We can all share in the excitement of the "club experience" through a season opening and season closing party.

The Men's Golf Schedule is comprised of 10 "Majors": Mercedes Dealer Championships, Black & Tan, President's Cup Member/Member, June Legacy, Match Play Club Championship, Shield & Stone, August Legacy, Stroke Play Club Championship, The Tradition, & Adams Cup.A Legend golf member must be a member of the MGA to participate in any of the 10 "majors".

The Men's Program also includes: Thursday golf (12:30 and 5:30), and weekly Saturday morning events.
