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. For the 2024 season, the MSGA will play from three different tees to fit member preferences. Front tees (Green markers) are played at approximately 5100 yards, Middle tees (Blue markers) are approximately 5600 yards and Back Tees (Black markers) are approximately 6100 yards. To play the Front tees, players must have an Age + Handicap Index number of 85+.
The Blue Golf software system is used for MSGA dues payments, event registrations/payments and online scoring including automatically posting for handicap purposes. Ratings and Slopes are adjusted for changes from the course scorecards per USGA guidelines.
Tournament Entry Fees include Golf with cart, lunch, 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.

The 2024 season is the 26th year for the MSGA and includes ten tournaments played from May thru September. Of the 2024 tournaments, five will be played at private country clubs and five at public golf courses throughout the Michiana area.
The season opens at Legacy Hills G. C. in LaPorte, IN on May 8th and closes at Elcona C. C. in Bristol, IN on September 16th.
The MSGA Championship will be played at Swan Lake Golf Resort in Plymouth, IN on Tuesday and Wednesday August 13th, and 14th.
There are no new courses for 2024, but we are returning to several challenging courses including Lakes of Four Seasons, Sandy Pines, Tippecanoe in Monticello and Elcona in Bristol. After playing ten events in 2024, the total number of tournaments played in the 26-year history of the MSGA will be 251 on 53 different golf courses.
The Board of Directors looks forward to another great year in 2024.
