Welcome to Michiana Seniors Golf Association
Member Notes
The Board wants to welcome you to the 2025 season for the MSGA. As you have noticed, we have completed a re-design of the MSGA website along with a new MSGA logo. Basically the new version includes similar information and history as in the past with a few revisions/additions and is much easier to navigate.
Included in this note are instructions to use this website to link to the Blue Golf System. The Blue Golf System remains the same as last year where you can renew your MSGA membership for 2025 and includes the payment system for Annual Dues and Handicap Fees (if used) and registering for Tournaments you choose to play. Your credit card information is used for all payments. Full payments for Tournament entries are charged two days before the tournament date.
To move from this website to the Blue Golf system for Membership renewals and Tournament registrations, click on the following link:

MSGA/Blue Golf Instructions:
For those renewing your membership, you will use the ID and password you used to access the Blue Golf system last year. For new members, you will need to set up a Blue Golf account with ID and Password. You will need your World Handicap System (WHS) 8-digit number, your email, phone number and credit card. After processing your Membership and Handicap fee (if used), you can start registering for tournaments. After processing your requests, you will receive emails confirming each transaction. Should you have any questions or problems, call Tom Spartz, Director of Golf at (219) 363-2534 or email Tom at tomspartz@gmail.com.
If you don’t have a WHS number, call Kevin Shidler at (317) 903-9706 and he will assist you.
Remember, there is no charge until two days before the tournament when your credit card is charged for the full entry fee. Cancelling your entry is allowed up to 48 hours before starting time. If you do not play and have not cancelled, you will be charged the full entry fee. To cancel, call Tom Spartz at (219) 363-2534 or cancel from the list of your tournament entries on the Blue Golf site.
Seeing tournament scoring on the Blue Golf system will be available through the above link also.
We are looking forward to the 2025 Season being played on an excellent list of Michiana golf courses.

Visitors and Guests:
Welcome to the website of the Michiana Seniors Golf Association (MSGA). The organization is made up of amateur senior players (age 50+) who love and enjoy the game of golf and a little competition and fellowship on some great golf courses. The Michiana area includes Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan.
If you are a senior amateur player who enjoys playing golf on some of Michiana’s premium golf courses, the MSGA is the organization for you and your golfing friends.
Tournaments are flighted by handicap, so players are competing against similarly skilled players. MSGA tournaments are played from three different tees to fit each player’s skill level.
The Blue Golf software system is used for MSGA dues payments, event registrations/payments and online scoring including automatically posting of player scores for handicap purposes.
Tournament Entry Fees include Golf with cart, lunch (unless noted), use of practice facilities and awards including Skin games. Awards are presented for flight low gross and multiple low net winners and Skins by flight based on the number of entries.
Click on the links above to see more information about the MSGA.
If you have any questions or need more information about the MSGA, please contact Tom Spartz (219-363-2534) or any of the Board of Directors.
