The BMGA is proud to support four different traveling teams, including the 12-Man Team, the 8-Man Senior Team, and two teams in the fully handicapped Metro Seniors League.
Always contact your team captain for the complete schedule.
12-Man Team
The 16-man team plays five matches with divisional teams either at Brookview or at opponents’ courses before the playoffs. The format of play is similar to the Ryder Cup: two players from each team play a non-handicapped 4-ball match for 3 total points: 1 point for the front nine, 1 point for the back nine, and 1 point for overall. The team with the most points wins the match.
12-man team this year is competing under Captain Richard Brynteson.

- 16-Man Team Moving On (6/10/2019)
- 16-Man Team off to a Hot Start (5/6/2019)
8-Man Senior Team
There is also an 8-man senior traveling team available only to seniors that play matches similar to the 16-man team.
Players must be an amateur, a member of the MPGA member club they are representing and have a Handicap Index for the current season. Players must be at least 55 years of age or older at the time of the competition. Note: all players must play from the same tees.
For 2024 there is no Senior 8 man team due to lack of interest and lack of a Captain.
- Senior 8-Man Team Ends Season With Loss (8/1/2019)
- 8-Man Senior Team Victorious (7/23/2019)
- Senior 8-man Team plays to a Tie (6/4/2019)
Metro Seniors League
Additionally, Brookview has two teams entered into the fully handicapped Metro Seniors League and competes with other courses in the metro. Any BMGA member with a current handicap and who is over 50 during the year of competition can participate. The rounds are on Friday mornings at area courses. For each team, Brookview sends 4 players per round (A,B,C,D). For more information check out the league website at http://www.metroseniors.org or contact one of the Team Captains for 2023, Roger Hamm or Sheldon Silberman.
