May 13, 2008 - CVGA Texas Scramble

Today, the Central Valley Golf Association played a three-person Texas Scramble and we had seventeen teams.  In today’s event, two opposing teams played together to insure that the rules were followed, the minimum numbers of drives per player (five) were met, and the proper scores were recorded. 

Net scores ranged from –15.0 to –5.6, and the best gross scores were –11, -10, and two   -9’s. 

Today’s results (gross, net, and points towards team of the year) are:

 1^st- Dos Perros (-11, -15.0, 150 points)

2^nd- Chau (-9, -14.4, 90 points)

3^rd- Cuban Boys (-9, -13.1, 80 points)

4^th- Kick-Ass Coffee (-10, -11.3, 70 points)

5^th- Hurricanes (-6, -11.2, 60 points)

6^th- Jalapenos (-5, -11.0, 50 points)

9^th- Time-Out Tavern (-3, -8.8, 20 points)

10^th- Guanacaste (-4, -8.7, 10 points)

 All other teams received ten points towards “team of the year”.  Each member of the first place team was awarded a free round of golf, compliments of Valle Del Sol.  Each member of the second place team received a voucher for an Executive Lunch, compliments of Tony Romas.  The third, fourth and fifth place teams also received a voucher for a free lunch at one of our sponsors (Big Dog’s, Wendy’s, Mac’s American Bar, Time-Out, Tequila Joe’s and/or Rock & Roll Pollo).

 Next week’s format

 Tuesday, April 8, we will be playing a two-person best ball.  In this format, each player plays his/her own ball from tee to green, using 100% of his/her handicap as a reduction on each hole (if applicable).  The better net score of the two partners is recorded on each hole.   Players can choose their own partner, but the twelve-stroke rule is in effect. 

 This tournament will be flighted and the first group will go off #1 at 6:15 a.m.  The last group will go off no later than 7:15 and all players arriving before then will be allowed to join us.
