White Wing pairings are now available.

• Completing our 2016 CTGA Tournament Schedule was more difficult than any previous year, due mainly because most courses have had marginal increases that weren’t approved till after the new year.  It looks like we’re set now and I’ve attached the schedule for your review.

• Stay on Williams Dr for 5.1 miles, then
• Right onto Del Webb Blvd for 1.9 miles

Jimmy Clay results are now available.

• CTGA welcomed New Members BUBBA BOYD, STEVE DOBSON, TYLER MILES, PAUL WANG, AND TED WILLIAMS to our Jimmy Clay tournament.
• Our tournament finish time as we progressed through our event was longer than our expected target time.  Although high winds contributed, in part, to the delays, I’m sure that most, if not all, will agree that the extremely unusual putting on hole #13 was the major problem that created a bottleneck all the way back to hole #11.
• Looking at our finish times, all but 1 foursome finished within 8-14 minutes of each other.  The one group who finished 27 minutes after the group ahead were penalized 1 stroke each for their excessive delay.

Make sure your old clubs are cleaned up and ready to fire and/or your new club(s) have been well tested since Christmas.  2016 looks to be a banner year for CTGA.

We have 4 dates yet to be confirmed for our 2016 CTGA Tournament schedule.  I’m working on these now.  I’ve attached the schedule for your review and will send out the completed version soon.

2016 will also be the start of our “no reminder” PACE OF PLAY.  Last year was the year of constant reminders that our expectations are to play CTGA events within a 4:30 pace, from first tee time to last.  Attached is our 2016 Pace of Play Policy. Please review and be ready to do your part to help make this a successful CTGA Pace of Play year.
