Another nice day in So Cal to play golf.  Despite the greens being punched on Monday they were in pretty good shape.

Low Gross today goes to Alex Cruz with a 74 and overall low net went to Todd Schmieder with a 64.  

Flight A Team was won by the team of Vinland and Tomasyan with a net 62 and Flight B Team was won by the team of Green and Schmieder with net 61.

Flight A Individual goes to Vinland with net 70, Flight B to Walker net 68, Flight C to Schmieder net 64, and Flight D to Ortale net 71.  Skins today were many as there were 25 across all four flights.  The multiple winners were Keith and May with 3 each in their respective flights.  Congratulations to all the winners and hope everyone had a pleasant round.  

Again we had a few groups that were on the slow side and backed up the remainder of the tournament.  REMEMBER YOU NEED TO STAY BEHIND THE GROUP AHEAD OF YOU,  NOT AHEAD OF THE GROUP BEHIND YOU.  If you see that you are falling behind go tee off while the rest of your group finishes putting out.  For those of you who had to cancel thanks for calling or emailing to let us know it really does help.

See you in May, Ron Plummer, Tournament Director

At this year's Masters Tournament, the Costa Mesa Seniors were well represented.  Here are Bret Bauer and his boys, and Steve Keith, Mike Meissenburg and Jerry Vinland with evidence of their presence at this storied venue.  They are all back to play in Thursday's tournament.  Perhaps their games have been touched by the experience.

We snuck in a tournament before the rain. It was a bit chilly but we are very weather spoiled in SoCal! The golf was a little slow today, about a 5 hour average. It would be great if we could do what we can to complete rounds in 41/2 hours. 

We had a full tournament with over 80 golfers participating. The CTP winners were Alhandy(2), Whittemore, Edles, Johnson and Skinner. The winners of the team event at 14 under par were Cary, Peterson, Fisher, and Aparicio - 4 Team BB Net, very impressive. The winners in the Individual low net 4 flights are De Boer (net 67), Meyer (66), Wong (63), and Wilson (67). Skins winners by flight are Cary, Walls, Simpson and Rossman. Hats off to Jim Rossman for winning 3 skins.  

Special recognition to Per Jensen for his hole in one on hole #12!!  Don't forget to record the Masters next week. One last comment, please be courteous to the CMSGA members by calling or emailing if you cannot play in your scheduled time. 

Thanks, Bret Bauer, Tournament Director

The weather finally cooperated and gave us great conditions to play.  Despite an early start, every foursome was filled and every person on the waiting list had been offered a position to play.  

The shamble team format produced some unusually low scores, as shown by the winning team of Peter Cary, George Fisher, Doug Peterson and Tim Bjelland at 27 under par using 2 best balls net.  Every team was well under par, which feels good (until you compare).  The scorecards showed course handicaps.  The team handicaps were 85% of the course handicaps, so your team score could vary from what was estimated. 

The winners with their net scores on the four flights were Ned Whittemore & Alex Crux (tied at 64), George Fisher (57), Doug Rustrum (59) and Bob Kirchgessner (58).  Fortunately for their indexes, the shamble scores are not accepted for posting.  No net skins were awarded.  Closest to the pin awards are noted in the results.

Thanks to Dave Basile for organizing and scoring this tournament with 84 players (plus 4 in match play).

This coyote would not be deterred by harassment and was approaching our golfers.  It took a charge by a golf cart to move.  No injuries and it was reported.
