results

Onion Creek results are now available.

• CTGA welcomed New Members JED BARISH, RYNNE CRUZ and RANDALL WESTBROOK, and Special Guests LARRY KEELING and GAVIN MARTINEZ to our Onion Creek tournament.
• Because Jimmy Clay is operating with 3 temporary greens at this time, I’m looking at alternative venues to have our next tournament on Saturday, July 6. Not sure if we can make it happen, but I’m checking. We’ll let everyone know within the next few days.

As usual, Onion Creek proved to be one of the premier courses in the greater Austin area. It definitely proved that a short course (6,351 yards) can still be a daunting challenge. Their greens are arguably the best we’ve played this year.

Congratulations to our Flight winners….

1st Flight: Eddie Nunez 74 - 69

2nd Flight: Bill Lindquist 83 - 74

3rd Flight: Julie Torres 81 - 67

4th Flight: David Nardecchia 86 - 67

Also Special Congratulations to…..

• Eddie Nunez – Low Gross 74
• Jim Abrams, Rick Hall, and David Nardecchia for the only Deuces in the 2nd Flight

Results from the Team Championship are now available.

• CTGA welcomed New Members DOMINIQUE CARRILLO, RYAN LOGUE and RHETT SHUTZE, and Special Guest LARRY KEELING to our Morris Williams tournament.
• Remember, our next tournament is at Onion Creek on Thursday, June 27. Our Sign up deadline is FRIDAY, JUNE 21.
• Ezra Peterson hurt his wrist trying to hit out of a bunker on Sunday and had to withdraw, which in turn, took his partner, Charlie Wilson out of the 2-Player event as well. What looked very serious turned out to be a Grade 1 Strain and Ezra should be back playing in about a month. Get well, Ezra….we hope to see you soon.

Raves about perfect weekend weather appeared to be a bit premature at about 9:20 Sunday morning as an intense thunderstorm stopped play for 45 minutes. It rained just long enough to get all players and equipment wet. As we returned to play, the clouds parted and the sun came shining through. From that point on, it WAS a perfect weekend of golf.

Congratulations to our Team Flight winners….

1st Team Flight:

• 1st Place: The “Father-Son” team of John and Jeff Weisheit with a 2-day Net total of 198
• 2nd Place: The team of Sean Nunez and Helen Friar with a Net total of 200

2nd Team Flight:

This may have been one of the best CTGA scoring tournament ever …..

Yeh….we played from the White Tees, but we also have to remember that we still had to hit fairways and greens and put the ball in the hole. Congratulations to those of us who were in a rare “zone” and to those of you who shoot similar scores regularly.

Roy Kizer results are now available.

• CTGA welcomed New Members TOM BOLANOS, JOHN CERVANTES, JOSH JOHNSON, PEDRO MARTINEZ, and JEFF WEISHEIT and Special Guest SHANNON MARTIN to our Roy Kizer tournament.
• We understand that from time to time players get caught up in the moment after play and forget to pay their fees. Most often players will call or send an email once they remember and ask how to get the money to Sean…and we thank you for that. You can either call Sean at 656-3278 and pay with a credit card or pay at your next tournament. It does make it much easier for Sean if we all pay at the course on tournament day. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Congratulations to our Flight winners….

• 1st Flight: Eddie Nunez – 74 (-32 Points Hurdle) 35 Points made for +3 Points)

• 3rd Flight: Jason Elkins – 80 (-26) – 33 = +7 Points)
• 4th Flight: Mark Cullins – 84 (-21) – 24 = +4 Points)

Also Special Congratulations to…..

• Mike Holzmeister, Eddie Nunez and Jeff Weisheit – Low Gross Scores of 74
• Paul DeGroot and Bob Eli for the only Deuces in the 2nd Flight
• Andres Sanchez for his Eagle Deuce on Par4 #6 with a hole-out from the fairway
• Shannon Martin for his Eagle 3 on Par 5 14 by draining a 60 foot putt.

The weathermen indicated a 50% chance of rain today. Unfortunately, for once they were right. It rained hard and long enough to scrub the event by the time our 1st group reached hole #9.

It’s hard to be too disappointed as this was our first rainout of our 2013 tournament season and our 3rd rainout in the past 4 years. As much as we need it, it’s too bad the rain seemed to just hit the north side of Austin. My home in S/W Austin got no more than a few drops.

All players who started play at Teravista get credit as a 2013 tournament played.

Delaware Springs results are now available.

• CTGA welcomed New Members DOUG DAVIS, SHELLY McLAUGHLIN and JOHN WEISHEIT, and Special Guests RALPH LOUGHMILLER and JAMES RASH to our Delaware Springs tournament.
• Several members found it necessary to withdraw from this event for reasons beyond their control. Each contacted us prior to tournament time and we thank them for that. Because of this, we had to adjust the payout amount to 3 places for 1st Flight and 4 places for 2nd and 3rd Flights.
• Members Ed Hipert and Sean Nunez each had a HOLE-IN-ONE in April. Congratulations to both. We’d like all members to let us know when great feats like this happen so we can share it with everyone. Eagles, Double Eagles, Aces, Career Low Score, etc., are what we’d like to share.

Attached are the results of our Delaware Springs tournament today. The weather was nothing short of “fantastic”…probably the best so far this year. This and the great course made for a fun day. Here’s hoping the future will give us continuing great playing conditions.
