MGA STAFFERS SEEN PLAYING GOLF!
As evidenced by these pictures and video acquired from an anonymous source, we have verifiable proof that some of the staff of the MGA actually do play golf. Caught playing at the local Edina CC were MGA Executive Director Tom Ryan, Communications Director WP Ryan (no relation), Regional Affairs Director Joel Comstock, Tournament Director Doug Hoffmann, Tournament Manager Adam Loch, PJ Boatwright Jr Intern Robbie Little, Meeting and Events Manager Anne Colehour and Administrative Assistant Karen Spruth.
Unfortunately, the group was forced to retreat to the safety of the fire-warmed Pub when a nasty, cold wind ladened with not-so-liquid precipitation hit the area while they were playing the 15th hole. Upon retrieving the scorecard from the trash receptical, it appears the team of WP Ryan and Hoffmann held a two-up lead over the team of Tom Ryan and Comstock after 15 holes. Hoffmann was leading the way with a two-over par score, yet Comstock was the only player to record birdies for the day (#4 & 8).
