Sign-ups for the 2026 EMGA Vic Kregel Championship and the EMGA Appreciation Luncheon (Following Round 2) will open this Sunday, 23 Aug, at 1900. You’ll receive three email invites from Golf Genius on Sunday around 1900.
Three separate invites are necessary for Golf Genius to track who has signed up, who has declined, and who hasn’t responded either way for each event. Apologize for the extra emails.
YOU MUST SIGN UP FOR ROUND 1, ROUND 2, AND THE LUNCHEON SEPARATELY. If participating in all three events, you’ll need to complete three sign-ups.

You can opt to play in Round 1 only, Round 2 only, attend the Luncheon only, or any combination of the three events. If you opt to play in a single round, you will not be competing in the Kregel tournament, but you can compete for optional skins during the round you do play.
Round 1 is scheduled for TUESDAY, 1 Sep, with an 0800 shotgun start on the Silver course.
Round 2 is scheduled for THURS, 3 Sep, with an 0800 shotgun start on the Blue course.

The Kregel
The Kregel is our annual EMGA Championship tournament, and with the calendar move to just before Labor Day, it comes right after the PGA awards its FedEx Cup Champion. The Kregel is our highest paying tournament, with a budget of approximately $1.5K. Skins payouts are on top of this.
Format: 36-hole individual stroke play tournament held over 2 days.
Scoring: The Championship Flight will be voluntary and played from the White tees. Championship Flight payouts will be based on gross scores only, with no net score payouts. If you opt to play in the Championship Flight, pls let me know by sending a “Message to Manager” when signing-up, or send me an email.
Golfers not playing in the Championship Flight will be flighted by White Tee Division (White and White/Gold tee players), Gold Tee Division (Gold, Gold/Silver, and Silver tee players), and Handicap Index within each Division. All non-championship flights payouts will be based on net scores only, with no gross score payouts.
Ties are NOT retained for the Kregel If there is a tie after the second round for the gross score in the Championship flight, we’ll have a sudden death playoff starting on Blue course hole 18, then hole 10, continuing this rotation until there is a winner. Other ties will be broken by Countback (last 9, last 6, last 3, last holes).
Handicap (HC): Players receive 100% of their Course HC. Your handicap index will be updated after Round 1, and before Round 2, but you will remain in the same competitive flight over both rounds.
Closets-to-the-Pin on Par 3s: Included.
Skins: Optional skins are $5 per player, per round, which includes both gross and net skins. Gross skins will be scored by Tee across the field (All White tee players compete against all other White tee players regardless of what flight they are in; the same for Gold tee players, etc.). Net Skins will be scored by White Tee Division and Gold Tee Division.
The 2026 EMGA Champion will be recognized at the post tournament lunch. The Net winners of the other flights will also be recognized 12 days later at our Fall breakfast meeting and have their name placed on the plaque in the clubhouse grill area.
EMGA Appreciation Day
We have moved up our EMGA Appreciation Day this year from Oct to coincide with Round 2 of the Kregel and the celebration of our EMGA Champion.
As part of showing their appreciation, the Course’s staff is complementing our play in Round 2 with cart, range balls, and Hole in One costs. You must still pay your own green fees if not an Eisenhower Golf Club Annual Green Fee member.
Lunch will be a choice of the Catering Staff’s delicious beef or chicken Philly cheesesteaks. During lunch (must be present to win) the Course will be raffling off:

Members,
Effective September and October, the OPCs will utilize Stableford scoring instead of standard stroke scoring. Please refer to the following instructions for clarification:
1. The maximum strokes allowed on any given hole is a net double bogey. A net double bogey is defined as a double bogey plus any handicap strokes incurred on the hole. For instance, on a par four, a double bogey would be a 6, and any handicap strokes (indicated by a dot or two dots in Golf Genius) would be added to this score.
2. The member responsible for electronic scoring on Golf Genius will inform all members of their net double bogey score prior to teeing off on each hole.
3. If you have not holed out by a Net bogey, retrieve your ball, proceed to the next hole, and mark the score for that hole as an “X.” Please do not continue to play if someone in your group has said “pick up.”
4. Stableford scoring is as follows:
* Net double bogey: 0 points
* Net bogey: 1 point
* Net par: 2 points
* Net birdie: 4 points
* Net eagle: 8 points
* Net double eagle: 10 points
5. The highest score for posting in GHIN can only be a net double bogey. Therefore, all scores will continue to be posted in GHIN for handicap purposes.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Larry Walker, President, EMGA

EMGA Members,
Thanks to the 86 members who came out this morning and participated in the ABCD Shamble Tournament.
The results are attached and available through the EMGA Portal Page.
Pace of play was excellent. Most groups finished in 4:15 or less. Thank you!
Our next tournament is the EMGA Championship Event, the Kregel Tournament. This is a two-day event and includes a luncheon after the second round. Payouts for the Kregel are the highest of the year, with a budget of $1.5K; optional skins payouts are on top of this. Round 1 is scheduled for TUESDAY, 1 Sep, with an 0800 shotgun start on the Silver. Round 2 is scheduled for THURSDAY, 3 Sep, with an 0800 shotgun start on the Blue.
Sign-ups for all three events (Round 1, Round 2, and the luncheon) will open on Sunday, 23 Aug, at 1900. You must sign-up for all three events if attending all three events. To qualify for the Kregel Championship, you must play both rounds. However, you may opt to play in only one of the two rounds and compete for optional skins during that round, but you must play both rounds to be eligible for Kregel tournament payouts.
You’ll receive an email detailing the Kregel format and rules on Fri, 21 Aug, prior to sign-ups opening on Sun, 23 Aug, at 1900.
Thanks,
Your Tournament Committee

Attached are the Tee Sheet, Alpha List, and Rules for tomorrow's ABCD Shamble, Thurs, 13 Aug, with an 0800 shotgun start on the on the Blue course.
We are short one “D” player. If your handicap index is 21.0 or higher and you want to play, please send me an email.
Your Foursome GGID is: (If no number, you are NOT on the Tee Sheet)
Please review the full rules carefully—there are some changes from last year. The team score is a combination of the best two net scores of any of the team players, based on the format outlined in the rules. A key change this year is each team will have a Team Captain. The Team Captain is the A Player. If any team player reaches the point on a hole where his ball cannot be one of the two best net scores, the Team Captain will ensure that player picks up. For example, the B and C players have putted out and have net pars. The A and D players are putting for net bogey. Since the A and D players cannot have one of the two best net scores, they will pick up, record an “X”, and the team will move to the next hole. The Team Captain will also ensure no more than 3 minutes is taken to look for a lost ball. Since this is a Shamble format, no scores will be posted to GHIN.
Unregisted Walk-Ups:
On the day of the tournament, since this is an ABCD event, we will only add walk-up players to the tournament if there is an open slot within the range of the walk-up player’s HC Index. For example, if an A player walks up with a HC Index of 8, and the only open slots are for D players where the range of HC Indexes is in the upper 20s and 30s, we will not field the A player.
Range Opens: 0630
Sign-in: 0645-0730
Call to carts at 0745
Shotgun start at 0800
If you are scheduled to play and can no longer make it, please let the Tournament Committee know as soon as possible. If you want to play, please send us an email and we will see if there’s an opening.
The Sign-In tables will be in The Grill and open at 0645. Please ensure you sign in before 0730 if you want to participate. The members manning the sign in tables are volunteers and need time themselves to hit the range before call to carts.
Also, if you have not signed in by 0730, you do run the risk of losing your slot to a walk up. We strongly recommend all players focus on pace of play. Our goal is to complete the round in less than 4.5 hours.
A TC member will be in the Silver dining room on the second floor of the club house to receive your score cards after play.
Thanks,
Your EMGA Tournament Committee
