Changes for 2020

Message from BGA Staff

This has already been a strange year for the golfing community, as well as almost every other industry in this country so far this year. That being said, we also as an organization must adapt and do the things we are asked by the city to make sure we can have a safe and successful first tournament. As follows:

Application deadline is June 19, 2020
Tournament Proper
- Friday June 26th 1st Round, Brockton Country Club
- Saturday June 27th 2nd Round, DW Field Golf Course (cut determined by tournament committee)
- Sunday June 28th Final Round Thorny Lea Golf Club

Please sign up on the website, checks to be mailed no later than 5 days please to hold for tournament interest:

There is going to be a limit on how many participants that can be taken for the tournament. Right now that amount is 60, if we can take more than that we definitely will look into. With this possibly being one of the first tournament of the year for many of us in this area, decisions are going to need to be made if we have an overflow of applications. As a board, we feel that this could be a very popular event. All decisions will be made by the BGA Board of Directors after the deadline has passed. As always, we would love to have you all play but that may not be possible for 2020 and the restrictions that we are working with.

How we will come up with the field in this order after the deadline:

Brockton CC, DW Field, and Thorny Lea GC members that have proper index for tournament participation
Past Open and Four Ball Champions, pro or amateur
City of Brockton residence that have supported the BGA and the events it conducts on a yearly basis with proper indexes.
Past participants that have supported the BGA and the events that it conducts on a yearly basis
Indexes that fall in line with proper membership application for tournament participation

Finally, we must follow the guidelines stated to us by the state of Mass and the City of Brockton. Many of us feel lucky to be able to actually have the approval to conduct this event and a lot of behind the scenes discussions have taken place to make it all happen. At all 3 courses, we may or may not have:
