The PebbleCreek Men’s Golf Association (PCMGA) annually conducts a two-man scramble event, which serves a dual purpose. It is a regular men’s day tourney, but five teams also qualify to enter the Arizona Golf Association’s Club team championship. The tourney was played on Thursday, Sept. 5 at Eagle’s Nest.
The senior qualifying teams (age 70+) advancing to the regionals will play at Arrowhead Country Club on Nov. 18. The other qualifying teams have a choice for the regionals to play at either the Arrowhead Country Club (Nov. 18) or at the Wigwam (Nov. 19). The finals will be played at Moon Valley Country Club on Dec. 9.
In this event, two flights played from the blue tees, and two senior flights played from the white tees. This was a form-your-own team event that required the two players to have no more than a ten-stroke handicap difference. A total of 41 teams participated.
