This email announces the start of the 2026 EMGA Home & Away (H&A) season. Each year your H&A Committee coordinates with other golf clubs to set up friendly matches on courses we might not otherwise have the opportunity to play. We encourage you to review the below schedule and sign up to play in the matches you are interested in. Please review the schedule carefully because there is both a “Home” and an “Away” match, and when you sign up, you are committing to play in both rounds. We will create 12–20-man teams for each match from those that sign up and play a Home match at Eisenhower and an Away match at the hosted course. During the matches, we try to all wear the same color shirt so we will be identified as a team. There are three EMGA colored (red, white, and blue) shirts available for purchase through Don Becker, another longtime member of the EMGA. It would be nice if we all have the EMGA logo shirts, but they are not mandatory. You can wear whatever shirt you have, but please try to wear one in the same color as the rest of the team.
Typically, the host team pays all the costs to play at their club. The cost to play in each match (both at Eisenhower and the Away club) should be around $155, but the costs have not been finalized yet this year and may vary a little. This fee covers the cost of both you and your guest and pays for your guest’s green fees, the cart, range balls, breakfast snack, lunch, prize money, hole-in-one, and your entry in the Skins competition both Home and Away. If you are not an Annual Green Fee Member, you will also need to pay your green fees prior to the match. There will usually be some sort of light breakfast snack provided and range balls will be available at the course prior to play. After the match, the host club will provide lunch while the scores are tabulated, and winners determined. At the end of the lunch, prizes will be awarded for match play and skins winners. Points will be awarded to the teams based on play and these points will determine which club wins the match.
Signups for these matches are now open in Golf Genius. If you’re interested in playing, please go to the EMGA H&A Portal Page https://egc-2026emga.golfgenius.com sign in with your username and password, and select the H&As showing on the left-hand side of the opening page under Upcoming Rounds. By selecting the Home date for that course, you’re signing up for both the Home and Away dates. You may notice some of our matches are on the same dates as our OPC matches and you can receive “credit” for the OPC, the appropriate Ringer and the Ike Cup when you play in the H&A match too, so don’t let these conflicts deter you from playing in the H&As. During Home matches you will be able to play from any of our Tee configurations. Please note there are two matches that are slightly different. The “Away” Heritage Eagle Bend match, scheduled for Tuesday, 26 May, will be a Shotgun start at 1230. Also, regarding the Broadmoor match on 27 May, this event is the Away match with the same players from our 2025 Home match.
We will also send reminders/invitations for the individual H&A matches 6 weeks ahead of each match, so you will have more opportunities throughout the season to sign up. The H&A Committee will select the team members and alternates (used in cases where a selected team player must drop out) 4 weeks before the match.
