Advance Payments Required for Golf and Banquet

Everyone should have received the below email from Bill Cloud. Just reposting it here for added visibility.

Our current arrangement with having the pro shop collect our tournament green fees and cart fees will not work for our 7:15 AM shotgun start tournament on September 15th.  We need to collect the green fees and cart fees now.  We have updated the sign up sheet on the web to include payment status for each of the possible four items due that day.  We will write one check to the course covering our green fees and cart fees.

A few people need to let us know whether they will take a cart or not. Those names are in red and have red question marks.

If your CMSGA balance has enough money, we will use that for all the fees.  If your name is in red,  You can find the amount needed to cover all due fees next to your name.  The full details of how we got that number is shown on the CMSGA member balance spreadsheet (on our website - right column - CMSGA member balances).  We have made over a thousand entries to this spreadsheet.  If you suspect an error, please let us know.  

You may make a payment to us by PayPal or by check.  There is a variable payment link on the website and sign up sheet to either pay the minimum, or a little more for upcoming tournaments if you choose.  Couples may make a combined payment and we can pool the funds.

There are still a few openings and a chance to add yourself to the banquet list.  We will need to give a head count to Newport Rib in a few days.

Thanks, Bill Cloud

September Championships

We need to collect green fees and cart fees now!

The sign up process for the September Championship Events is different from our usual monthly tournament.  You will be signing up for a tee group and not a tee time.  The September 15th tournament is a 7:15 modified shotgun start on Mesa Linda.  We should have space for everyone who wants to play that day.  The 1 pm banquet at the Newport Rib Company will offer a separate sign up sheet.  You may sign up for the banquet on the same sheet where you sign up for the tournament.  You may sign up for the banquet separately, whether you play in the tournament or not.  We will transfer the names from the tournament sign up to the banquet sign up, if the player indicates they want both.  Although it is optional, please consider taking a cart for this day to expedite an on time start.  We are asking to indicate whether you are attending the banquet or intend to take a cart on the sign up sheet.   

Pairings, Starting Holes & Payment Status for Thursday, September 15th 7:15 AM Shotgun Here

 Also review your low prior net data and let us know if you plan to take a cart (recommended).

Expected Attendees for Thursday, September 15th 1 pm Banquet at the Newport Rib Company Here

The competition for Club Champion (gross) is limited to 16 players with priority to those with the lowest indexes.  The first round is played Wednesday, September 14th, with tee times starting at 8 AM, from the white tees on Los Lagos.  The player with the lowest combined gross from the Wednesday and Thursday tournaments will be the 2022 Club Champion.

We have a new PayPal payment option on our website (and on the sign up sheet).  Through the "Make Variable Payment to CMSGA" link, you may enter the amount your want to pay.  To pay for the September 15th tournament and banquet, you could enter $24 as the payment amount.  To pay for two players for both, you could enter $48.  If you are competing for the gross championship, you could enter $36 for September 14th, September 15th tournament and banquet.  You can also use your CMSGA balance to pay for a custom amount, just let us know what it is your are wanting to do.  The new link is untested, so there may be some troubleshooting involved.  Thanks for your patience.

September 1st

September 1st First Thursday Tournament Results

Thanks to Abe Pearlman for taking care of organizing and scoring this large tournament.

August 18th Tournament

August 18th Third Thursday Tournament Results Here

The weather was a bit warm yesterday at times, but overall it was great golf weather!  I saw a lot of happy faces at the bar in the afternoon, so I think everyone enjoyed themselves as usual.

In Flight 1, Bill Walker took home 1st place honors with 47 points, followed by Peter Cary in 2nd with 45 points, Mike McClanahan finished 3rd with 43 points, Gene Ramirez claimed 4th with 42 points, and there was a 3-way tie for 5th place at 41 points between Steve Stranak, Joe Edles, and Gary Bennett.

In Flight 2, Chris Aasland took 1st place with 44 points, Marrietta Payne was in 2nd place with 43 points, there was a tie for 3rd place between Jim Alhandy and Tom Ebert with 42 points, and a 3-way tie for 5th at 41 points between Dean Skinner, Sean McGroarty, and Tom Kennedy.

In Flight 3, Jim Rossman came in 1st with 50 points, Kevin Dreiling was in 2nd place at 47 points, there was a tie for 3rd place at 40 points between Julie Chien and Hank Lopez, and a 3-way tie for 5th at 39 points between Neil Slater, Richard Palmer, and Kent Cowgur.

Skins winners were as follows:

Flight 1 - $24/skin

Jim Meyer had 2 skins with Eagles on holes 2 & 14 (nice job Jim!)

Bill Walker had 1 skin with a Birdied on hole 10

Dave Basile had 1 skin with an Eagle on hole 15

Mike Edles had 1 skin with a Birdie on hole 5

Flight 2 - 0 skins awarded

According to Bill, this is situation is as rare as hens teeth!  It has never occurred in Bill's time with the club that he can recall.  After hearing that, I went back and rechecked all of the scores I entered for everyone in flight 2 to ensure the were no entry errors, I found none, so it looks like we have club first!  

Flight 3 - $15/skin

Hoyt Etter had 2 skins with Birdies on holes 2 & 11 (nice job Hoyt!)

Kevin Dreiling also had 2 skins with Birdies on holes 3 & 14 (nice job Kevin!)

Jim Rossman (Birdie on 4), Julie Chien (Birdie on 5), Neil Slater (Birdie on 12), and Bruce Green (Par on 9) each had 1 skin.

CTP winners - 5$ each

Mark Spreeman on #4

Joe Chien on #7

Paul Hennessy on #11

David Basile on #15

Rusty Hendrix on #17

Congrats to all winners.  This was my first tournament, so please feel free to offer suggestions for improvement!

Dan Hudgins, Tournament Director

Thanks to Dan for taking on this tournament.  Dan mentions the unusual results in the Flight 2 skins.  Every single hole was matched by another player, so no skins were won.  Our plan is to credit back the portion of the entry fee used to cover skins ($5) to the 24 golfers in Flight 2.  Apologies to Jim Meyer for the extra accounting.  Scores from this tournament do not apply to our September 15th Championships.
