Quill & Tee Golf Club Membership – 2021
From: Chuck Stogel, MGWA Activities Committee
To: All MGWA Members
It is Signup Time for the MGWA’s Quill & Tee Golf Club!
The Quill & Tee GC is the MGWA’s exclusive "Club Without Real Estate," offering all our members the opportunity to join, participate in Q&T-only events and receive various benefits, such as MGA-GHIN handicapping services and The Met Golfer magazine.
All MGWA members are eligible to join the Quill & Tee GC, including those who may be members at other clubs.
The MGWA Activities Committee has confirmed Tuesday, May 4th, for our season-opening meeting and golf outing with a visit to Pound Ridge (NY) Golf Club.
Along with Pound Ridge, the MGWA Activities Committee is finalizing dates for five more visits to area clubs and courses in 2021. Our next confirmed date is Wednesday, June 9th, at historic Pelham (NY) CC, which has received substantial renovations and a rerouting crafted by architect Mike DeVries. Following that, we’re confirmed for Thursday, July 8th, when we will get one of the first opportunities to preview an “all-new” The Summit Club at Armonk (NY), which plans to open this spring and should be in super shape in July. The site of The Summit previously was known as Brynnewood CC, and before that the Canyon Club. The course at The Summit has undergone major renovations and new construction under the guidance of well-known architect Rees Jones.
Also on tap, with its date to be finalized shortly, is North Jersey CC in Wayne, which also is implementing a renovation program, and which has been named our MGWA Club of the Year for 2021. Further, stay tuned for announcements about a pair of exciting and notable venues being lined up for visits in the fall.
Exact venues for our exclusive Quill & Tee and MGWA competitions will be announced soon. Our schedule will include a variety of activities, including special presentations by guest speakers and competition exclusively for members of the Quill & Tee GC, with prizes awarded.
In addition to our Quill & Tee qualifier for the men’s and women’s MGA/MetLife Four Ball Championship (a two-person better ball formerly known as the Met Net), other Q&T competitions include an individual President’s Cup (with handicap), and a men’s and women’s Club Championship. Our season-ending event each year is the MGWA Team Championship.

The Quill & Tee dues fee for 2021 remains at $55 per golfer.
