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

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!
