The PebbleCreek Men’s Golf Association (PCMGA) annually conducts a two-man scramble event that serves a dual purpose. It is a regular men’s day tourney, but six teams also qualify to enter the Arizona Golf Association’s (AGA) Club Team Championship. The tourney was played on Sept. 5 at our Eagle’s Nest Golf Course.
In this event, 18 teams in the Gross/Net flight played from the blue tees and 21 teams in the Super Senior flight (age 70+) played from the white tees. This was a form-your-own team event. Team handicaps were calculated by adding 35% of the A player’s handicap to 15% of the B player’s handicap.
The teams that qualified to move on to the AGA Club Team Championship Regionals were offered a choice of where to play: Oakwood Country Club Palms/Sonoran (Sun Lakes—Gross/Net & Super Seniors) on Oct. 12, Antelope Hills South Course (Prescott—Gross/Net only) on Oct. 24, Wigwam Red Course (Litchfield Park—Gross/Net only) on Nov. 13 or The Preserve at SaddleBrooke (Tucson—Gross/Net & Super Seniors) on Nov. 20. The Finals will be played at Corte Bella (Sun City West) on Dec. 3.
