CMSGA is an SCGA affiliate club, with membership consisting of local seniors. Tournaments are held on the first and third Thursday of each month, on either Mesa Linda or Los Lagos - the two 18 hole courses at the Costa Mesa Country Club.
Another nice day in So Cal to play golf. Despite the greens being punched on Monday they were in pretty good shape.Low Gross today goes to Alex Cruz with a 74 and overall low net went to Todd Schmieder with a 64. Flight A Team was won by the team of Vinland and Tomasyan with a net 62 and Flight B Team was won by the team of Green and Schmieder with net 61.Flight A Individual goes to Vinland with net 70, Flight B to Walker net 68, Flight C to Schmieder net 64, and Flight D to Ortale net 71. Skins today were many as there were 25 across all four flights. The multiple winners were Keith and May with 3 each in their respective flights. Congratulations to all the winners and hope everyone had a pleasant round. Again we had a few groups that were on the slow side and backed up the remainder of the tournament. REMEMBER YOU NEED TO STAY BEHIND THE GROUP AHEAD OF YOU, NOT AHEAD OF THE GROUP BEHIND YOU. If you see that you are falling behind go tee off while the rest of your group finishes putting out. For those of you who had to cancel thanks for calling or emailing to let us know it really does help.See you in May, Ron Plummer, Tournament DirectorComplete Results with Hole by Hole Data *Here*
We snuck in a tournament before the rain. It was a bit chilly but we are very weather spoiled in SoCal! The golf was a little slow today, about a 5 hour average. It would be great if we could do what we can to complete rounds in 41/2 hours.
We had a full tournament with over 80 golfers participating. The CTP winners were Alhandy(2), Whittemore, Edles, Johnson and Skinner. The winners of the team event at 14 under par were Cary, Peterson, Fisher, and Aparicio - 4 Team BB Net, very impressive. The winners in the Individual low net 4 flights are De Boer (net 67), Meyer (66), Wong (63), and Wilson (67). Skins winners by flight are Cary, Walls, Simpson and Rossman. Hats off to Jim Rossman for winning 3 skins.
Special recognition to Per Jensen for his hole in one on hole #12!! Don't forget to record the Masters next week. One last comment, please be courteous to the CMSGA members by calling or emailing if you cannot play in your scheduled time.
Thanks, Bret Bauer, Tournament Director

Per's first Hole in One, using a gap wedge on #12, playing about 110 yards.
The weather finally cooperated and gave us great conditions to play. Despite an early start, every foursome was filled and every person on the waiting list had been offered a position to play.
The shamble team format produced some unusually low scores, as shown by the winning team of Peter Cary, George Fisher, Doug Peterson and Tim Bjelland at 27 under par using 2 best balls net. Every team was well under par, which feels good (until you compare). The scorecards showed course handicaps. The team handicaps were 85% of the course handicaps, so your team score could vary from what was estimated.
The winners with their net scores on the four flights were Ned Whittemore & Alex Crux (tied at 64), George Fisher (57), Doug Rustrum (59) and Bob Kirchgessner (58). Fortunately for their indexes, the shamble scores are not accepted for posting. No net skins were awarded. Closest to the pin awards are noted in the results.
Thanks to Dave Basile for organizing and scoring this tournament with 84 players (plus 4 in match play).

Good morning, CMSGA. Some of you made it to yesterday’s mudfest, thanks
to those who did and my understanding for those who didn’t! Below are
some of the results:
I
don’t think anyone was surprised by the conditions at yesterday’s
tournament, and as the morning progressed the weather just got sunnier,
but we all had to slog through some sloppy spots. I know I personally
had to fish my ball out of multiple puddles! Considering the
conditions,I was pleased that we had as many players as we did, 43 in
all. Bill and I decided on Wednesday afternoon that it made sense to
add a team competition (4 player team, 2 best net balls) to the mix
because we had exactly 72 players and 18 foursomes, at the time. The
rain on Wednesday night changed all that of course, but after collecting
the hodgepodge of scorecards yesterday afternoon and discovering that
there were 7 complete foursomes, I took the stragler cards with 1, 2, or
3 players and and made foursomes out of them. It was difficult in a
few cases to tell who actually played with who, so my apologies in
advance if you aren’t happy with my random groupings for 4 of the
groups. With that said, here are some of the highlights from yesterday:
Lets
start with a fun one - Burnie Presho had a hole-in-one on #8! That’s
his second one in the last couple of years, nice going Burnie! (amazing
fact: that’s the third hole-in-one on #8 from our club in 2024 alone!)
Team winners were:
First place - Mohney / Spreeman / Presho / Spreeman with -16 to par
Second place - Andersen / Collins / Ned Whittemore & Christi Whittemore with -13 to par
Third place - Meissenburg / Keith / Vinland / Tomasyan with -10 to par
Individual winners
Flight 1
Peter Cary - net 67
Bill Walker - net 69
Tied for third - Jerry Vinland and Dave Klemens - net 70
Flight 2
Bret Bauer - net 69
Tied for second - John Westermeyer and Mark Spreeman- net 71
Robert Kirchgessner - net 73
Skins Winners - 2 flights
Flight 1
Dave Klemens had 2 skins, and four others had 1 each, all paying $14 each
Flight 2
Joe Chien and Joe Mohney both had 2 skins each, and 6 others had 1 each, all paying $8 each
Thanks
again to all who made the effort to participate in less than ideal
conditions, and congrats to all winners. And a special shout out to
Burnie!

Tournament Director
The golf course was closed to carts due to the overnight rain. Originally we had 72 players signed up for the First Thursday Tournament, plus 16 players hoping to play their second round of President's Cup match play. Although the weather was fine, the course was quite wet. We ultimately had 43 players for the Tournament and 8 players completing their PC match.
The scoring assigned handicaps as shown on the scorecards, with lower handicap players assigned to the blue tees. We have clarified the tees used by players originally in match play, not on a preprinted scorecard, but added to the tournament. Please let us know if you happened to play the white tees, but were assigned to the blue tees.
Burnie Presho knocked in his second lifetime Hole in One during the tournament, on Hole #8 from the Blue Tees. Congratulations Burnie!
We dodged the weather and had a great day to play
golf, albeit around some very wet areas. Winners in the Flights were A
Flight DeBoer with 43 points, B Flight Kennedy with 44, and C Flight
Westermeyer with 51 points. We also had multiple skins in each flight
with each paying about $14-$16.
The bright spot was that Anthony
Baccaro scored a “hole in one” on #8. Low Gross today was a 73 carded
by Tim Schilling. Congratulations to all of the winners and to all the
players competing in the Match Play Event who won their match today. I
was not one of those.
February has 5 Thursdays so it will be 3 weeks before our next tournament so relax and read a good book. See you all in March,
Ron Plummer, Tournament Director
Thanks to Ron for organizing and scoring this tournament. The results of the President's Cup match play can be viewed on this website in a separate post. Anthony Baccaro will receive a $100 credit to his CMSGA balance for his Hole-in-One during one of our regular tournaments (a few members were hoping to see him at the 19th hole to congratulate him).
Weather was not a problem for our Thursday tournament on Mesa Linda. Team scramble scores were quite low. At 20 under par, the team of Walls, Westermeyer, Kramer and Baccaro won the event by one stroke. Dan Hudgins gave his team a boost with a Hole-in-One (his first) on #8 from the blue tees. Dan wins $100 (plus $10 for a CTP) for doing this during one of our regular tournaments. Thanks to Dave Basile for organizing and scoring this tournament.

We had a wonderful
day to play golf. Scores were as expected with the wet conditions but
Lift, Clean, and Place I think helped a bit.
There was a tie for first
place in the Team Event where we saw the
team of Miller, Jones, Cruz, and Haeger tie with Cary, Peterson,
Bjelland, and Greenberg each team shot a 2 best ball score of 130.
Low
gross today goes to Tim Bjelland with a 70. Low net today was a 68
shared by Bjelland, Miller, and Kim with 68.
Flight
winners are as follows, A- Bjelland, B— Chavez and Presho, C— Miller
and Kim, and D— Westermeyer. We had a total of 27 skins with Presho
getting the most with 3. Congratulations to all the winners.
A couple
of players elected not to show up and that is never
good. Please let us know as much in advance as possible to fill the
positions. I also noticed that there were more addition errors than
normal and almost, if not every case, the real score was less than the
player added.
Also, if you did not see the notice, starting this tournament the CTPs are worth $10. See all in two weeks for the annual Shamble event.
Ron Plummer, Tournament Director
