Weather played a key role in the outcome of this year’s PebbleCreek Men’s Golf Association Member-Member Golf Championship. Unlike last year when foul weather forced a change in format for the final round, this year we had beautiful sunny skies that encouraged super low scores. The annual event was played over three days, March 9, 10 and 17 utilizing both Eagle’s Nest and Tuscany Falls Courses.
A total of 114 two-man teams competed in eight flights. Flights 1 through 4 played the Eagle’s Nest/Tuscany Falls/Eagle’s Nest rotation. Flights 5 through 8 played the Tuscany Falls/Eagle’s Nest/Tuscany Falls rotation. A scramble was the format for round one. One best-ball net was the format for round two. Two net-aggregate was the format for the third round.
A delicious lunch was served in the Tuscany Ballroom after play on the final day. The annual PCMGA member meeting was then held to discuss pending issues. Officers for the 2016-2017 season were elected. Congratulations to Jerry Monk (president), Bud Held (vice president), Mike Der Manual (secretary) and John Stergulz (treasurer). They take office on June 1.
