The FMMGA was formed to promote fellowship between players. We all have unique backgrounds and most have moved to Fort Mill from areas near and far. The association affords the opportunity to meet and play with players you would most likely never encounter.

You're also likely to find a comfortable level of competition. Check out our calendar of events and see if one or more events sounds interesting to you.

President's Message

 

2026 will be another great year for the Fort Mill Men's Golf Association (FMMGA) at Fort Mill Golf Club!! Our membership continues to be as strong as ever, supporting our goals of Golf, Fellowship & Charity. A look back at 2025, before we get into 2026.

• 2 new tournaments were introduced in 2025, The Eclectic and a new version of The Challenge. Both have received glowing feedback and will remain in 2026!!
• Fort Mill was able to gain back the SpringMill Cup after our first ever defeat in 2024. Retaining it in 2026 on Springfield's home course will be a difficult challenge!!

Fort Mill Men's Golf Association Code of Conduct

 

We, as an association, follow a code of conduct that promotes the professional and courteous manner upon which the association was founded. Obviously, with any code, enforcement is vital. Violation of these codes can result in suspension or termination of your association membership based on review by the board.

USE OF FOUL LANGUAGE
During play, foul language should be held to a minimum. Your voice should not carry further than within your own foursome. If you have playing partners to whom this is offensive, please refrain altogether. While on the deck around the scoreboard, please refrain from the use of foul language altogether. Voices carry off the deck and can be heard for a good distance away from the clubhouse.

POSTING ALL YOUR SCORES
If we are to have fair tournaments, all scores played must be posted according to USGA rules. Accuracy of scores will also be followed. The association reserves the right to change a players handicap during our tournaments to ensure fairness. If you are not clear on what USGA rules are as to posting, please ask or refer to guidelines at the posting computer.

CHEATING DURING A TOURNAMENT
If anyone is found to deliberately cheat during a tournament, you will be asked to resign your membership permanently. If you are not sure of a rule, refer to the USGA rule book, ask your playing partner or play a second ball and get a ruling from the rules committee. Deliberate cheating is firmly against the spirit of fair competition and will not be tolerated to any degree.

ABUSE OF ALCOHOL
For most of our tournaments, we furnish beer and sodas after the tournament. We value the fellowship between players after each event. However, this benefit cannot be abused. We and the pro shop personnel reserve the right to say when you have had enough. You will simply be asked to leave. Feel free to join us at the next tournament.

GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
The reason this association was formed was to promote fellowship between players. We all have different backgrounds and many come from different areas. The association is a great way to meet players you would not otherwise get the chance to meet. When playing in our tournaments, playing with good golf etiquette is a must. Please keep pace of play, be courteous of players lines of play and be courteous of your playing competitors. A handshake at the end of your round is strongly suggested. BE A GENTLEMAN!
