Our next tournament is on Los Lagos.  The team format is a two player team shamble.  We will not have the usual individual stroke play competitions (gross, net, skins), although we may have team skins.  The President's Cup matches will only need two slots at the most, as play has now progressed to round 2.  Peter Cary is the tournament director.

   

The day brightened after a foggy beginning for the early starters, who lead  in the low gross category despite that.  This was a big field today.  We ultimately had 75 players in stroke play.  The President's Cup had nine first round matches decided.  The second round is now underway.  Those results are posted on the website entry for PC brackets.

The teams of (Bob Baker / Conrad Wilson), (Rich Swingle / Arnie Aparicio) and (Kent Pfeiffer / Tim Schilling) tied for first at 6 under par.  

Our lowest gross scores of the day by flight are Steve Keith (70), Ron Plummer (80), Sean McGroarty (83) and Joe Mohney (89).  The net leaders were Steve Lyons (67), Ron Plummer & Burnie Presho (tied at 72), Christie Whittemore, King LIng Wong & Don Walls (tied at 69), and Conrad Wilson (68).  

Overall, 23 skins were awarded.  Claiming a pair each were Ryan Haeger, Burnie Presho and Gerry Schomberg.  Todd Danly captured two CTP's (#10 & #17).

Thanks to Bret Bauer for setting up and scoring this tournament.  Thanks to everyone for playing and to those who let us know when they couldn't.  We were able to offer slots to everyone who had been hanging on the waiting list until the end.  Don Wall just made it in the day before and played quite well.

The 2025 President's Cup is our only match play event of the year.  The draw and brackets have been completed.  Matches and results may be viewed through the "brackets" link below.  We have 32 players.  All players should have received an email (sent Jan 21st) regarding pre-scheduled match times in February.  Additional signups may be alternates for first round withdrawals. 

   

The weather kept a few people home today, but I'd say it was a bad decision on their part because the rain was minimal and early.  The rest of the day was fine. 

We had 13 no-shows after the cards were printed, so there was a little shuffling around of a few teams and players, but when it was all reassembled to create complete 2 person teams, we ended up 58 golfers and 29 teams.  I did have to place 3 golfers randomly to fill in a few holes even though these teams did not play together; Tom Kennedy was teamed with Anthony Baccaro, Bob Angel was teamed with Gary Bennett, and Conrad Wilson was teamed with Ed Chavez.  Below are some of results.

Today started with some wind then it went away.  We had summer like weather for the rest of the round.  We do the shamble format infrequently.  It gives some a chance to score a low round.  This round is not posted to GHIN,  

There were 7 teams that separated from the pack, scoring 23 under par or lower.  The winning foursome was the team of Skirvin, Kim, Howard, and Howard with 29 under par. The CTP winners were Klemens, Ludlow, Kirchgessner, McGroarty, McClanahan, and Schneider.  Congratulations to all of our winners today.

Our first group finished in around 3:40 with our last group around 5:10.  We had six withdrawals shortly before the tournament.  The heads up was appreciated.  With earlier notice, we may have been able to consolidate our groups to have less threesomes.

February tournaments are back to the first and third Thursday so set it up in your calendar.

Thanks to all, Ron Plummer, Tournament Director

And thanks to Ron for setting up and scoring this tournament.  Some have asked about the individual results.  We had decided during setup to only have the team competition, as the individual scores in a shamble format are not on a level playing field.  Sorry for disappointing several with outstanding individual scores.
