The 2024 Spring Opener was hosted by Class A Member Tim Topolinski at Quail Ridge Golf Club in Ada on Wednesday May 15th. In recapping his experience Tim said “When we were asked to host the 2024 Spring Opener I was a little apprehensive but working with them made the event seem seamless and easy to put on. The communication was outstanding and we ended out with a fantastic turnout as well as a lot of compliments for Quail Ridge which made the event even that much better. I’m proud to be a MiGCSA member and would recommend hosting an event for the membership.”
