The best part of being handicap chair is presenting the Most Improved Player award for the year.
The MPWGA Most Improved Player award was first presented in 2002, making this year’s winner the 23rd player to receive the award.
To qualify for the award you must be:
A paid member of MPWGA for the entire year, January 1st – December 31st
Have an established handicap as of January 1st and have played and posted at least 12 MPWGA Play Day events on the Mountain View or The Preserve courses during the calendar year.(Our winner posted 37)
Have posted a total of 48 or more 18 hole scores during the calendar year (Our winner posted 95)
Has not appeared more than once on the Failure to Post Log during the calendar year.(Our winner has never appeared on the log)
Back when I was coaching teams, I would love to hand out the award for Most Improved Player because it meant this player motivated herself to improve her skills, put in extra time to practice and may even have been receptive to coaching.This year’s player did just that.I would see her out on the range hitting balls, taking lessons to improve her swing and getting out on the course to refine her golf skills.Her handicap index started the year at 23.9 and decreased to 19.7 at the end of the year.She is one of the nicest gals in our league.She has quite a swing off the tee and I have personally nicknamed her “boomer.”
It is my honor to present the 2024 Most Improved Player award to Tracy McGeorge.Congratulations Tracy!
The winner each year is presented with a beautiful engraved crystal along with a personalized bag tag.
