The PebbleCreek Men’s Golf Association conducted its final major tournament for the 2019 season. The format for this three-day event was a 4-man scramble where the members chose their own teammates. The tourney was held on Dec. 5, 11, and 12.
The field, which consisted of 47 teams, was separated into six flights. All flights played from the blue/white combo tees. The course rotation for flights 1, 2, and 3 was Eagle’s Nest, then Tuscany Falls East, then Tuscany Falls West. The rotation for flights 4, 5, and 6 was Tuscany Falls West, then Eagle’s Nest, then Tuscany Falls East. The weather was clear, but cool being an 8:30 a.m. shotgun each day.
After play on the final day, players gathered in the Tuscany Falls ballroom for lunch, beer, and soda. A vote was taken to approve the changes to the Bylaws. The most active PCMGA player for the 2018-2019 season was announced. Jim Seith took this honor, now three years in a row. Prizes were awarded in each flight for Low Net (3 places).
