UPDATE 9/6/22 9:45PM

Bill Cloud and Gary Bennett have added their names to the competition. We now have a full slate of 16 competitors. Currently the highest index competitor is, well, me, sporting a 15.5 index. If you have a lower index feel free to bump me! No hard feelings. And if you are higher than a 15.5 you can add your name to the waitlist, in case there is a cancellation. 

We will close this sign up list this Friday, September 9th at 5 PM.

On September 14th and September 15th, CMSGA members will be competing for what is the most prestigious golfing title afforded to a CMSGA member:

🏆 CMSGA Club Champion 2022 🏆

Folks - this is a big deal.

Recently I had the opportunity to *interview two of the prior CMSGA Club Champs who are teeing it up again this year, and here is what they had to say:

2021 Champion Dave Kent

"People I don't know say 'Hi Champ' to me, which is nice, and also kind of weird"

2017 Champion Mike Edles

"Seriously? I won? Was not aware of that. Cool"

Along with Dave defending his title and Mike hoping to remember one, we have a handful of members who have come up short in the past, but are giving it another go. For the past seven years Don Spreeman has competed (and came close!), while David Basille, James Meyer, Dave Wilson, and Rusty Hendrix hope the 3rd time is the charm.

My question to the membership is:

If you can play back-to-back rounds on Wednesday and Thursday, why aren't you playing in this? Add your name to the list! It's true that if we get more than 16 players signed up, the lowest index players will have priority, so you could get bumped. 

As of this writing (9/5/22 3PM) there are still two spots open, with yours truly sitting on the bubble to get bumped. I'm ok if I get bumped. There are 69 members who are carrying a better index in the club than me, and I would love to see some more of them competing.

And remember, there is no index limit on competing - just the 16 player max. So grab a spot if you can play. If you aren't bumped, then know that you are indeed one of the 16 best CMSGA members competing for the title. That means something.

Good luck to all competitors!

Jeff
