Our fourth Thursday tournament is a team shamble on Mesa Linda.  Ron Plummer is the tournament director.  The Sign Up sheet is currently full with a substantial waiting list.  Tee times have been adjusted slightly with a reduced group interval to accommodate several requests. This tee time list is view only.  Contact cmseniorsgolf@gmail.com for any questions.

The 2025 President's Cup is our only match play event of the year.  Sign Up will close at noon on Tuesday, January 21st. Sign up will also be capped.  The first 32 players will fill the field.  Additional signups would be alternates for first round withdrawals. 

  

 

It turned out to be a pretty good day to play golf.  The winds were kind to us and the sun came out.  

This is the first tournament that I can think of in the 15 years I have been doing this that we could not accommodate all that wanted to play.  We had 3 players still on the waitlist at tee time this morning.  We still had one member who did not show up and did not message anyone as to his absence.  Please, Please let Bill and the tournament director know as soon as you decide if you are not playing.  

Now the winners. Team First Place Honors were shared by two teams. Basile, Stranak, Willis, and Kirchgessner  and  Fitzgibbons, Kearns, Ludlow, and Schilling  both teams had a 121 net for 19 under.

Low Net:

Low net in Flight A goes to Ludlow  net  63

Low net in Flight B goes to Stranak net 67

Low net in Flight C goes to Thornton and Baccaro each with  net 71

Low net in Flight D goes to Lopez net 67

Low Gross:

Low gross in Flight D was Lopez with 88

Low gross in Flight C was McGroarty with a 86

Low gross in Flight B was Jensen with a 76

And the overall low gross was Mr. Ludlow with an eye popping 66.

Multiple skins (27) were won today.  Steve Stranak, John Westermeyer and Sherry Howard were winners of two.

Congratulations to all the winners.

On a sad note I was just advised that one of our members had their childhood home lost in the devastating fires that we see every night on TV.  We extend our condolences to him and his family.

See you in two weeks,  Ron Plummer, Tournament Director

And thanks to Ron for organizing and scoring this tournament.  What a difference a day makes.  Wednesday would have been unplayable.

We ran into several conflicts when limiting ourselves to First and Third Thursday's.  We had to use a number of Second and Fourth Thursdays to avoid days with holiday rates and less rounds on Mesa Linda.  The months of February, March, June, August, November and December are still First and Third Thursday tournaments.  The months of January, April, May, July, September and October are now Second and Fourth Thursday tournaments.  The spacing between tournaments remains at either two or three weeks.
