Morris Williams Tournament Specifics

Morris Williams pairings are now available.

  • CTGA welcomes 2015 returning Members, New Members and Special Guest to our first official tournament of 2016.  2015 was an absolute banner year and we are confident 2016 will be even better.
  • We will be implementing our 2016 Pace of Play initiative beginning with Morris Williams this weekend.  We’re confident all players will do what’s needed to ensure a sub-4:30 round.
  • Rain is in the forecast for most of the latter part of this week.  We’re asking all players to PLEASE don’t just decide not to show up without calling if it looks like we won’t play.  We’ve had threats in the past where the clouds parted and we were able to play.  We have committed 36 players to Morris Williams for Saturday and, if the weather does allow us to play, we should all be there to play.

Fall Classic Results

Classic results are now available.

If CTGA could fingerprint a perfect day for every Fall Classic, it would have to mirror this weekend.  Unlike past events where rain was either the norm or threat, this year was just shy of perfect.  The only thing that could have made it better for me was my golf game.  Ah….but there’s always next year to look forward to.

 

  • Your Directors thank all our Members for your 2015 support, great sportsmanship, uncompromising dedication, and commitment to help make CTGA the best golf organization in the greater Austin area.
  • Several CTGA milestones were realized this year…several of which we mentioned at our Annual Meeting on Saturday.  A full 2015 recap will be sent out soon.

I will, however, single out several important people who helped make our 2015 Fall Classic one to remember…….

  • Kevin Lowe, Scott Preece and Steve Barnes, our At Large Directors, who, as with all our 2015 events, were the ones who helped make our pre-start and post-play activities flow smoothly.  These guys are the cornerstone of our tournament day activities every event;
  • To Sean Nunez who has the responsibility for managing all the aspects of our finances every tournament.  It’s his commitment that ensures the success of our annual Fall Classic.
  • To Mike Cearley and John Vayo for their volunteer help to ease the burden of all that needed to be done during these 2 days;
  • To our members who took it upon themselves to chip in with assistance on Saturday and Sunday;
  • And lastly, to our Catering Crew….

1     Cathy Lowe for the timely arrival and set-up of our Saturday food

2     Leigh Nunez and Kristi Rosselot for the timely arrival and set-up of our Sunday food

3     Sean Nunez and his “Green Egg” for the great brisket on Sunday

4     Leigh Nunez again for Salsa and our Sunday chocolate chip cookies

5     To our Suds & Soda crew of Kevin, Scott and Mike Cearley for having our brew, sodas and water on ice and ready to quench our thirst

6     To Josh Lockhart, Legacy Hills Tournament Director, for his great help to make our day at Sun City one to remember

7     And finally, to the 70 CTGA members who joined us on this picture perfect weekend.

 

And finally, there’s no rest for the weary…..Our first official 2016 tournament is on Saturday, October 24 at Morris Williams.  Format will be our 4-Player Team 6+6+6 event.  To those not familiar with this format, the 1st 6 holes will count the two Low Net Scores of the Team, the 2nd 6 holes the 3 Low Net Scores and the last 6 holes will count all 4 player Net Scores.  A fun format that gets all Team players involved.  Sign up deadline for this event is Monday, October 19.
