August 4th Tournament Results

These results are preliminary, pending review.

Another beautiful day to play golf in Costa Mesa!  Some very good scores were recorded.  Here are some of the highlights:  In Flight A, Gary Bennett was the winner with a gross 76, net 69.  One shot back in second place was Mike Edles with a gross 73, net 70.

In Flight B, Bill McCrea won with a gross 86, net 70.  In second place was Burnie Presho with a gross 80, net 71.

In Flight C, Bob Simpson shot a gross 78 with a 17 course handicap, giving him an easy win with a net 61!  In second place was Russell Barrett with a fine gross 85, net 66.

The best gross scores for the day were from Don Spreeman and Alex Cruz, both with 72's!  

There were five skins in both Flights A and B, and six in Flight C.

Thanks you all for playing - see you next tournament.

July 21st Results

July 21st Tournament Results Here 

Another beautiful day for golf, some great scores.  Alex Cruz went low for a gross 65 but took a net 67 and finished 2nd to Ron Plummer who had a net 66.

Last group finished in 4 hours and 15 minutes which is surprising since it seemed like there were a number of gaps.

This club exists because of volunteers and not just minimum effort slackers (like me) but with top level professionals such as Bill Cloud, Ron Plummer,  Jim Meyer,  Peter Cary, Abe Pearlman , Gerry Schomberg, Jeff MacCarter, David Basile, Rich Clause and especially yours truly.

So if you want to help keep this club at this high level of organization think about helping or at a minimum show your appreciation with words when you see these guys.

One group forgot to sign score card not a major deal but it is a formality that is done at all legitimate clubs. We may institute a hundred dollar fine.

Ken Otsubo, Tournament Director

Thanks to Ken for setting up and scoring this tournament.  Our club tournament payouts are all about the net results.  To have Alex shoot a gross 65, then give two strokes back to net seems punitive.  Our one gross tournament is our annual Club Championship, which should be interesting this year.  

In addition to Ron's low net of 66 to win the low handicap flight, Tom Ebert won his flight with a net 66 and Russ Barrett won his flight with a net 65.  These low nets put them in great position for our net Championships in September.

Scotch Cup - This is really happening!

While I'm at the Old Course at St Andrews trying to win The Open, the Scotch Cup between CMSGA and LGWMC is what I am focused on - Justin Thomas

Did JT really say that?  (Probably not).

Let's Go CMSGA!

July 21st Tournament

 July 21st Tournament Tee Times and Payment Status

Our Third Thursday Tournament will be on Mesa Linda. Your lowest net score from July 7th, July 21st, August 4th or September 1st tournament is combined with your net from September 15th in the competition of Club Champion (net) and Flight Champions.   Club Champions (net and gross) and Flight Champions must have played in 5 events since 10/1/21.  Members may play in any of these tournaments regardless of prior event play.

The format for this tournament (July 21st) is individual low net and net skins by flight.

Our Friday sign up sheet openings have become quite competitive.  The demand for tee times is likely to exceed the number of spots available for our next tournament.  We have been able to find spots for every person on the waiting list up to this point.  On our last tournament, we had placed 92 players at one point, but ended up with only 81 players by game time.  

Persons signing up using a computer browser and refreshing it at 9:30 have the best success to early access.  Being flexible in choosing the times and partners which are available is another option for success.   

Our system of sign up is challenged by multiple members accessing the same spreadsheet cells at the same time.  We are looking at other systems, that might lessen this problem.  In the meantime, a cell that looks empty when you open it may have data entered before you close it.  Please do your entries as quickly and accurately as possible.  We can mediate how was in the cell first by viewing the version history of the spreadsheet.  

Browser refreshing is usually all that is needed to have access, but some have had problems doing this.  You may have to close the browser and then re-open it to access the website.

The group emails will usually follow the browser opening shortly.  Our last group email was delayed a few minutes by a number of distractions at the time.  

Sorry in some ways for what has become a stressful event.  At the moment, it seems to be the most equitable and transparent way to allocate our limited resource.
