Lions results are now available.

• Pulling the plug on the Lions Muny tournament was almost assured until I got to the course at 9:00.  Although a bit colder than normal, the wind was calm and the sun was out and that gave the green light to play.  By 11:00layers were coming off and the day turned out great.

Congratulations to Adam Sinclair who recorded a Hole-In-One on hole #13.  It was CTGA’s first ACE since October 27, 2016 and only the 9th since 2003.  Now, to replenish our Hole-In-One pot, all members will be assessed an additional $2.00 at your next tournament.

Our Lions Muny Pace of Play on Saturday was excellent as our first 5 foursomes finished within 5 minutes and the last 6 within 14 minutes of the foursome in front.  Thanks to all for your efforts.

In addition to our Team Winners, special KUDOS to the following:

• Sean Nunez with both Low Gross (71) and Low Net (68) Rounds of the Day
• Closest Par 3 shots of the day:
  • 1st Trash Flight:    Sean Nunez – 12’ 4” on #17
  • 2nd Trash Flight:   Adam Sinclair – 0’ 0” on #....HOLE-IN-ONE
• Jeff Rogers for his Eagle 3 on #12
• Adam Sinclair again for his Hole-In-One Eagle on #13
• Sean Nunez and Scott Preece for the only Deuces in the 1st Trash Flight
• No Deuces in the 2nd Trash Flight which means the Deuce Pot will be a hefty one next tournament.

Lions pairings are now available.
