CMSGA is an SCGA affiliate club, with membership consisting of local seniors. Tournaments are held on alternate Thursdays of each month, on either Mesa Linda or Los Lagos - the two 18 hole courses at the Costa Mesa Country Club.
Some corrections were needed to the initial results posting. This version posted at 10:30 AM, June 20th is hopefully accurate.
The team of Andersen, Nevins, Johnson and Lencek won at 17 under par by a three stroke margin.
Individual gross leaders by flight include Jerry Vinland and Alex Cruz (tied at 72), Steve Stranak (78), Allen Sappenfield and Harlan Andersen (tied at 78) and Robert Ou (85). Net leaders are Jerry Vinland (65), Burnie Presho (64), Allen Sappenfield and Harlan Andersen (64) and Robert Our (64).
Multiple skins winners were Chris Calkin (guest of Sean McGroarty), Peter Cary and Todd Schmeider. Perhaps more significantly, Joe Mohney's solitary skin in Flight 4 captured all of the money pool for that flight.
Thanks to Bret Bauer for setting up and scoring this tournament. There are a few extra wrinkles when splitting tees that create complications. We have tried to have a few tournaments use the Mesa Linda blue tees each season for a bit of challenge.
Congratulations to all the winners!
It was a perfect golf day! We had a couple groups that slowed down the pace of play...it only takes a little extra effort to keep up with the group ahead of you; this will help everyone finish their round in 4 1/2 hours.
Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to Bret Bauer, tournament director.
Our annual 4 club tournament today was fun as always. Great weather, with 80 total players made it enjoyable for all I hope. Being limited to 4 clubs was not particularly challenging for some of us apparently, as there were some very low scores today! 6 birdies on #8, multiple skins in all flights, and a 5-way tie for 3rd place in the team event are examples of how well some adjusted to the lack of club selection available. Congrats to all the winners.
The winning team of Baccaro, Walls, Westermeyer and Kramer shot 11 under par. A score that could win with 14 clubs. The individual scores were slightly higher than our norm, as expected. The low gross winners by flight were Ned Whittemore (75), Bill Cloud & Sean McGorarty (both 82), Anthony Baccaro (85) and John Westermeyer (84). The low net flights were led by Bill Walker & Pete DeBoer (both 70), Sean McGroarty (69), Anthony Baccaro (68) and John Westermeyer (66).
The net skins stars were Bill Walker, Ned Whittemore and Leon Tomasyan winning two apiece. Ned Whittemore also claimed two CTP's (#2 & #6).
Thanks to Dan Hudgins for setting up and scoring this tournament. These scores will not be posted to GHIN. A correction to the team results was made at 10:30 on 5/23/25 showing a five way team tie for second.
Our Second Thursday tournament felt like a summer round. We had 89 players, a great turnout. One scorecard was left in the tournament box for the Costa Mesa Golf Club instead of our senior slot. We did retrieve it a couple of days late. Thanks for your patience on results.
Two teams tied for first. Both were threesomes, who tied at 18 under par using blind draws: R Wilson / Etter / Hooton / (Rustrum blind) and Munroe / Llanos / Bonnie / (Schmieder blind). Individual low gross winners by flight were Alex Cruz (67), George Fisher (76), Dan Hudgins (81) and Joe Mohney (86). Net winners by flight were Bill Walker (66), George Fisher (67), Dan Hudgins (69) and Robert Wilson (65).
28 skins were award. Flights 1 and 4 only had 4 skins worth $22 each in their flight. Flight 2 had 13 skins worth much less. George Fisher, Burnie Presho and Todd Schmieder each won a pair of skins. Wayne Rowell won two CTP's.
Congrats to our winners. Thanks to Dave Basile for organizing and scoring this tournament. Thanks to our members for playing and no unexpected no shows.
We had 4 players that did not show today and as a result I took one of the threesomes and added them to the groups without a fourth. By doing this I was able to only use one blind. We need to come up with some meaningful penalty for no shows.
Beautiful day in SoCal and the first group was a little slow taking just under 4 hours, not their usual 3:30. But all groups finished in under 5 hours today which, for our group, is pretty good.
Congratulations go out to several players today starting with Mr. Cruz with an overall low gross of 68. Mr. Barrett with an overall low net of 61, very impressive Multiple skins, 24, across all four flights. Four players had 2 skins each with one player, Mr. Nevins besting everyone with 3. And the winning Team, by one stroke, were the team of Plummer, Munroe, O Neal, and Hinson. Two of the members of that team, not me, had natural eagles on the same hole.
And for the match play semi-finals Mr. Supple and Mr. Wilkerson were victorious, congratulations to both. See everyone in May and remember the start time on May 8th is 20 minutes earlier than normal.
