Our members are welcome to attend our annual membership meeting and luncheon.  We are gathering at the Newport Rib Company, 21906 Harbor Blvd, at 12:30 pm, on Thursday, September 17th.  

The lunch will be a buffet including BBQ'd ribs and chicken.  The cost of the luncheon to members is $20.  The club is subsidizing about half of the total cost from general funds (dues).  We will likely fill the parking lot, so carpooling would help.  Bar service will be available.

We will acknowledge the winners of our 2026 Championships following the preceding Thursday tournament.  We will discuss our club's business and plans for the upcoming year and elect a board of officers.  We plan to give away an assortment of new CMSGA hats, CMSGA towels left over from last year, and a golf related raffle for attendees. 

 

Play will be on Mesa Linda.  The team format will be 4 players, scoring the 2 best balls net. There will be individual competitions by flight for low gross, low net and net skins.  

If all the times are full, please add your name to the waiting list in the last slot.

Scores from this tournament will also be used to determine our 2026 Club Champion (gross) and Club Champion (net).  We will also have Net Champions for each flight.  The championships are based on two day totals.  Flights will be assigned as the distribution of players by index falls on September 10th.  USGA tiebreaker rules will be followed.  

The Club Champion gross totals are from the scores on September 9th on Los Lagos and September 10th.  The Club Champion (net) and Flight Champions use the lowest net score relative to par from our three most recent prior tournaments and September 10th.  Eligible players must have played in a minimum of five CMSGA events since last October and have a score from one of the three prior tournaments.  All members playing on September 10th will also be in the one day team, individual gross, net and skins competitions.

Our 2025 Champions are:  Alex Cruz (gross), Dan Kim (net and Flight 3), Dave Basile (Flight 1), Bill Walker (Flight 2) and John Westermeyer (Flight 4).

The first round of the CMSGA Club Championship (gross) will be played Wednesday, September 9th on Los Lagos from the white tees.  We have five tee times starting at 8:07.  We started priority signup for our eligible players with the lowest indexes, but there may still be a few openings.  This is not a net tournament.

The Championship (gross) will be decided by the lowest two day total from this round and the Thursday, September 10th round on Mesa Linda.  The entry fee is $12 for each day.  The winner is eligible to play on one of the SCGA Tournament of Club Champions offered in December, with entry fee reimbursed (about $200).  

Alex Cruz is the defending champion from 2025.

*The Club and Flight Championships (Gross) and (Net) are decided by two rounds: Net uses a player's best of three eligibility rounds (July 23, August 6 or August 20) plus the final round on September 10. Players do not have to play all three eligibility rounds.  To qualify for the tournament, players must have participated in five club golf days since October.
