We offer a full tournament schedule organized and implemented by the Tournament Committee.  It consists of a faculty advisor, the MUGA Tournament Director and volunteer students who wish to gain a further understanding of the intricacies of operating successful golf tournaments. We also host two PGA Playing Ability tests; one in the fall and one in the spring.
