The BMGA
is a non-profit organization that strives to improve the conditions and
enjoyment of golf at the Braintree Municipal Golf Course to include
sponsoring events and tournaments at the course on a weekly
basis. All BMGA members receive a USGA handicap via the
Massachusetts Golf Association (MGA) which entitles a golfer to compete
in all BMGA Tournaments and other publicly offered amateur tournaments
throughout the United States.
Handicap Services
An initial handicap is assigned after 5 scorecards have been submitted
to the Association’s Handicap Chairman or through the MGA GHIN Handicap
System. Scores can be posted via the Internet, as well as through
the BMGA computer system, located within the course clubhouse.
Tournaments
All BMGA members are eligible and invited to participate in BMGA
tournaments which are scheduled every weekend day and holiday from
April through October. Additionally, tournaments are run on
Wednesday mornings throughout the golfing season. Tournament
information and a schedule of events are available in the Pro Shop, on
our association bulletin board in the clubhouse, and on the
Association’s website. Sign-up sheets for all tournaments are
located in the Pro Shop. Tournament entry fees are generally $5 -
$8 with tournament prizes awarded in the form of chits redeemable for
merchandise in the Pro Shop. To be eligible to participate in the
Club Championship, BMGA members must participate in five BMGA
sponsored tournaments.
Thursday Night League
The BMGA sponsors a men’s league for members on Thursdays from May to
September. League dues are $25 per half and the format for the
league changes from year to year. There is an award banquet at
the end of the season. More information about the league can be
found on the BMGA bulletin board at the golf course or on the
Association’s website. Sign up for the league usually starts in
April and must be done in person.
Meetings & Association Governance
BMGA member meetings are held three times a year at the clubhouse
during the evening. Notification of meetings is posted in advance
on the association bulletin board, the clubhouse, and on our
website. Every member who attends is welcome to participate in
the discussion and vote on any motion. Attendance is voluntary,
however, it is suggested that members attend to stay informed of
upcoming events and rules changes that may affect play at the
course. The on-going operation of the Association is maintained
by various elected officers serving 2 year terms.
