Starcke Park results are now available.

CTGA welcomed New Member CHRIS SAPUPPO and Special Guests JAY CROWELL and KENS SEKULA to our Starcke Park tournament.

We unfortunately had a disqualification yesterday due to a wrong score recorded on a specific hole.  It’s important to remember that all players are responsible for the hole-by-hole scores on our official scorecard.

Pace of Play on Saturday was outstanding with the exception of one foursome who was noted as being 2+ holes behind the foursome in front.  We hope all foursomes will be totally aware of the distance between them and the foursome in front.  We are all responsible for maintaining an acceptable pace on the course.

In addition to our Medal Play winners, Special KUDOS to the following…..

• Rick Spigarelli with Individual Low Gross Rounds of the Day – 75
• Scott Preece with Individual Low Net Round of the day – 63  (Scott likes this golf course)
• Closest Par 3 winning shots of the day in each Trash Flight:

1st Trash Flight:  Brian Melnyk – 11’ 9” on # 2 and Julie Torres – 11’ 10” on #13 (too close to not recognize both)

2nd Trash Flight:  John Cervantes – 7’ 9” on # 6

• Steve Barnes, Sean Nunez and Julie Torres with the only Skins in the 1st Skin Flight
• Chris Reid, Rick Spigarelli and Julie Torres (2) with the only Deuces in the 1st Deuce Flights.
• John Cervantes with the only Deuces in the 2nd Deuce Flight.

Starcke Park pairings are now available.

All players should be at the course, signed in and ready to play no later than 8:00 as we’ll be going to our starting holes at 8:20.

Steve Barnes, Scott Preece and John Vayo will be the Directors in charge of this event, assisted by Eddie Nunez.  Please direct tournament day questions or concerns to them.

REMINDER:  CTGA continues to expect an acceptable play time for all our tournaments, which is within 4 hours 30 minutes.  The best way to measure how you are doing time wise is to always be waiting for the foursome in front of you to clear before you can play your next shot.

Starcke Park has no specific dress code, however, CTGA requests all players to dress consistent with Country Club attire.  They are a Soft Spike facility.

SATURDAY WEATHER FORECAST:   Although I hesitate to make reference to the weather, it looks like a good day for CTGA golf other than the normal seasonal breeze.  If the weather does get bad, Eddie will send a note on REMIND and email after 6:30 Saturday morning (512-797-0566) as he’ll be in touch with the course by then.
