Happy New Year from the PMGA. I want to pass along some important information to all our members.

The 2020 Camp Pendleton Commanding Generals Cup schedule of over 40 events includes a Golf Tournament on May 5th, 2020. As your President I was approached last year about having the PMGA sponsor this Tournament. After discussing this with the Board of Directors we agreed to be the 2020 Sponsor. Only Active Duty members can participate in any of the CG’s Cup events, and we feel that this event deserves our support. Therefore, the club will be committing $2,000.00 in 2020 towards our support and sponsorship of this tournament that will be held at Marine Memorial. Please attend on May 5th and support our active duty members in their participation in this tournament.
