2022 NORTHERN VIRGINIA RETIRED MEN’S GOLF ASSOCIATION (NVRMGA)

Don’t miss out on a great experience competing against other country clubs and playing a variety of local courses. If you are 50+ and retired from at least one occupation, you are eligible to join the league. ANCC fields two teams which are very competitive in league play - one at ARL and one at FFX. During the season, each team plays 12 other clubs twice, once at home and once at their course, for a 24-match season. The home club provides practice balls and waives green fees. The home club also provides morning pastries, coffee, and a sit-down buffet lunch afterwards. The league’s season runs from early April through early October. Play is on Thursday mornings and is four-ball match play with a 3-point Nassau, combined with a sweepstakes competition. We use handicaps in all matches and our team members have handicap indexes ranging from the single digits through the thirties. As a team member, you will be assigned to play in 8 or more matches during the season and may volunteer to play any matches to which you are not assigned. The 2022 Army-Navy teams will be put together within the next few months and eligible members can sign up for either team. Visit the teams’ web pages on the website for signup instructions. Signups are open from now until 31 January for the ARL Team and until 1 March for the FFX Team. The pages for the two teams can be found on the ANCC website here. The team captains for 2022 are Mike Downs (703) 317-1822 or mpdx2@ hotmail.com, Jim Schroeder (703) 237-1939 or jms.3821@gmail.com, and Frank Kyle (703) 405-4703 or frankakyle@msn.com for the ARL team; and Mike Golembieski (703) 855-7580 or mpgolem@cox.net, Dennis Bruns (703) 534-7913 or dennis.r.bruns@verizon.net and Russ Powers (571) 643-2908 or ricmp@verizon.net, for the FFX team.

Congratulations goes out to Susan Walthall and Barbara Lancaster for winning “Most Improved Handicap” for low handicap and high handicap respectively. We would also like to congratulate the CWGO Match Plan Champions: Championship Flight 1st Place: Emily McGee, 2nd Place: ER Anderson; First Flight 1st Place: Margaret Ann Connors, 2nd Place: Bev Winston; Second Flight 1st Place: Emily Graves, 2nd Place: MaryAnn Cronin.

Until then, have a wonderful holiday season!”
