PCMGA Conducts 4-Man Scramble as Final Major Tourney of 2022

Howie Tiger

The PebbleCreek Men’s Golf Association (PCMGA) conducted its final major tournament for the 2022 season. The format for this three-day event was a 4-man scramble where the members chose their own teammates. There was a 3-drive minimum for each player. The tourney was held on Dec. 1, 3, and 8. This is a very popular PCMGA event, as sign-ups were completed in just hours.

The field consisted of 64 teams that were separated into six flights. One flight played from the blue tees. Five flights played from the white tees. The Blue Tee flight and White Tee flights 1 and 2 played the Eagle’s Nest/West/East rotation. White Tee flights 3, 4, and 5 played the East/Eagle’s Nest/West rotation.

After play on the final day, players gathered in the Tuscany Falls Ballroom for lunch, beer, and soda. Director of Golf John McCahan announced the winners.
