From the desk of the VGA President, Jim Cox.

During the Q4 2023 board meeting, the board elected Ben Hughes as the new Vice President of our club. The board also approved a $5.00 increase in the tournament fee for each event. This increase will take effect in Q2 2024, specifically on April 3, 2024. The increase will be allocated as follows: $2.00 for Net Score, $2.00 for Gross Skins, and $1.00 for the Treasury for Special Tournaments. This includes the new TPO Memorial Weekend Tournament and the VGA Club Championship, for which details will be provided later.

Due to the excessive heat last summer, the event schedulers will be arranging for the earliest possible tee times for the 2nd and 3rd quarters. The schedule for the First Quarter Two-Man Best Ball Tournament is Saturday, February 17th at Encanto and Wednesday, March 13th at Aguila.

Thank you, Jim Cox 1-28-2024
