• If you love golf, friendly competition, and socializing with others who share your passion for the game, then you'll fit right in at the PHMGA. We welcome golfers of all skill levels and offer a wide range of tournaments and events.
• The PHMGA board takes great pride in organizing top-notch tournaments, which is why we're known as one of the premier golf associations in New Mexico. Our members can look forward to participating in well-run events that are enjoyable and competitive.

At the PHMGA, we strive to provide a balance of individual and team tournaments for our members. This allows them to experience the best of both worlds: the opportunity to showcase their individual skills against similarly skilled competitors, team up with friends, and compete as a group. Whether you prefer to go it alone or join forces with others, we have something for everyone.

If you cancel before the registration deadline you will receive a full refund, if you cancel after the registration deadline there will be no refund but we will apply your paid entry fee towards a future event of your choice.

• No, while we encourage membership for the benefits and discounted tournament fees, anyone can play in a PHMGA event as a guest if they have a current GHIN handicap.
Guest tournament fees are $110 and member tournament fees are $95.

• Yes, our tournaments are flighted as we want to ensure that you are competing against competitors of similar skills.
• Flights are determined first by the number of competitors. We will have a minimum of 15 individuals/teams on each flight. There is no minimum number of flights, but we will have a maximum of 4 flights (Championship, Presidents, Governors, and Mayor).
• To determine flights, we will group competitors based on their Handicap Index. We will try to make the groups as evenly sized as possible. For example, if we have 76 entrants in a tournament, we will create 4 groups of 19 players each. We will start with the group for the Mayor's flight, which will consist of the 19 players with the highest handicaps. Then we will repeat this process for the other three flights
• Understand that flights are determined based on Handicap Index and not Playing Handicap, someone could have a 10 handicap index that puts them in the presidents flight but because they play from the silver tee's end up with only a 4 playing handicap. Or the opposite is true, a person could have a 5 handicap index that puts them in the Championship flight, but if playing the blue tees they would have a 7 playing handicap
