2026 GKGA Spring Medal Final Results

We’re back.

For those of you with short memories, let me remind you what the 2025 Spring Medal looked like. No power. Bad weather. Golf played in conditions that could generously be described as apocalyptic. It was the kind of day where you questioned your life choices.

Sunday at Indian Run was the exact opposite of that.

The weather showed up. The course showed up. The lights stayed on. Nobody had to navigate by vibes and instinct.

This is what we built this organization for. Days like yesterday. Competition in conditions that actually let you play golf ; not survival golf, not dark ages golf, not what-is-happening golf.

Thank you to everyone who played. Thank you to Indian Run for having us.

Results are below. Congratulations to the winners

Open Division – Jared Lyons

The rest of you have a couple of months to sort yourselves out before the next one. Lick your wounds from some pretty tragic scores, OB’s, 4 putts and some ridiculous birdies (we’re not going to out the person). Ok, yes it was me and it was downright embarrassing.

If you’re a senior (50+) the next tournament is

– 6/8 – GKGA Senior Strokeplay – One Day – Lake Michigan Hills

For all come play the KMGA’s Kalamazoo County Amateur (6/27-6/28)

See you there
