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.

2nd Flight:  Nathan Neal (6 Points)

3rd Flight:  Chris Toombs won Playoff with Steve Barnes (both -2 Points)
