Pairings for the Fall Classic are now available.

Cowan Creek has given CTGA the entire course both mornings so we’ll be starting every group on holes 1 thru 17.  It’s important that we complete our tournament by  as they have a member shotgun event starting at .  Please work hard to ensure your foursome completes play in  or less.

Pace of Play will be enforced this tournament.  If your foursome gets more than a hole behind the group in front, makes no effort to close the gap in reasonable time, and it’s obvious that you are causing excessive delays to the foursomes behind you, all players in your foursome will be penalized for Excessive Slow Play.

• Cowan Creek requires that all players MUST KEEP THEIR GOLF BAGS ON A CART.  A player can walk, but cannot use a pull cart or carry his/her bag.  CTGA is obligated to comply with this policy….so any player who might decide to pull his/her bag off the cart once on the course will be disqualified.  Please comply!!!!
• Our post-play refreshments will not include drinks (beer, soda, etc) this year, so if you want drinks, you can BRING YOUR OWN COOLER.
• We will be sending out our PAY ONLINE information later tonight and are encouraging all players to pre-pay before Saturday to avoid a long line after play.  This is optional, but we encourage it.
• Last call for Classic Teams will be during Saturday’s Pre-Start Announcements before start of play.  If you want in this competition and haven’t identified a partner, we’ll try to make it happen at this time.

Post play activities will be at the Legacy Hills Pavilion across the street from the course.  Please leave your cart at the course and drive to the Pavilion.  Make sure you bring your official scorecards.

Attached is the full agenda for our 2017 CTGA Fall Classic, including our Medal Play and Trash competitions, FedEx Cup Finals, Kodak Challenge Finals, our optional 2 Player Team competition,  and an insight to our post play activities both days…..

Our yearly Annual CTGA Member Meeting will be held on Saturday, October 14 after the first round of our Fall Classic.  This important meeting is to address any issues our members may have, possible 2018 By-Law changes and the election of our 2018 Board of Directors.  Our 2017 Directors will be elected by member vote.
