Members,
Please read all material, there’s a lot of information being passed out. The season-long tournament Terms of Competitions are provided for reference. Thanks.
As discussed at our Fall Breakfast Meeting, EMGA will be transitioning to a cashless system for the 2026 season. All payments sent to our treasurer will be credited to your personal EMGA account. Throughout the season, you’ll be able to monitor your balance via our online tracker on the portal page, and presumably your own tacking system for comparison. At season’s end, any remaining funds may be:
- Rolled over to your 2027 EMGA account
- Refunded to you via check
- Transferred to your EGC account as pro-shop credit
If your account balance drops to under $20, the treasurer will notify you to determine whether you’d like to replenish it or continue with your remaining balance if you know that you only have a few rounds left to play. For the 2026 season, any winnings from our tournaments/OPCs will still be paid as pro-shop credits. We will monitor how things play out and make any further changes for the 2027 season.
Payment Instructions: (you can send a check anytime but please do so before 1 March 2026, the treasurer will let you know that he’s received payment)
Please make checks payable to EMGA and mail them to:
John Hayes
5190 Farmingdale Drive
Colorado Springs, CO 80917
**Include a note specifying which season-long tournaments you wish to participate in and are paying for.
You can also still drop off an envelope at the EGC clubhouse in our EMGA box (located in the men’s locker room) with the same information. If you are paying cash, please get with John directly. There are no credit card options.
Fee Breakdown (also see attached fee sheet with draft schedule):
Annual Dues (required, non-refundable):
- $85 (pays for 11 tournaments, three meals, and administrative costs)
Season-Long Tournaments (optional, non-refundable):
- Match Play: $10
- Ike Cup: $5
- Blue Ringers: $5
- Silver Ringers: $5
Tournaments (are covered in your $85 dues, the following payments are for optional skins in the following tournaments):
- May 7 – Individual TBD: $5
- Jun 4 – Two-Man Chapman: $5
- Jun 18 – ABCD Variable Best Ball: $5
- Jul 16 – Individual Modified Stableford: $5
- Jul 30 – Two-Man Scramble: $5
- Aug 25 – Kregel Round 1: $5
- Aug 27 – Kregel Round 2: $5
- Sep 15 – Member/Member: $5
OPCs (there are 21 OPCs, pay for the number of OPCs you believe you’ll play in):
- 21 rounds at $6 each = $126
Example Total (all-in):
$85 (dues) + $25 (season-long) + $40 (tournament skins) + $126 (OPCs) = $276
Example Total (partially-in):
$85 (dues) + $15 (season-long for Ike Cup, Blue Ringers, Silver Ringers) + $25 (tournament skins) + $90 (15 OPCs) = $215
The primary reason we’re moving to a cashless system is to streamline check-in for tournaments and OPCs, making the process faster and reducing the staffing required for these rounds (an added plus is you’ll no longer have to stop by the ATM on your way to the course). You’ll still have full control over which rounds you choose to play and how much you wish to spend. If you don’t play you don’t pay.
Please note that Home and Away payments will continue to be managed separately by the Home and Away committee, just as they have been in the past.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Thanks!
Larry Walker, President EMGA
