Congratulations to all our Fall Classic competition winners.  I won’t even try to list all our weekend winners here, so enjoy all the Results attachments.

As I do every year, I have to single out several important members who are the backbone of our league and who helped make our Fall Classic another great success…….

• Kevin Lowe, Scott Preece and Steve Barnes, our At Large Directors, who were the ones who made all our tournaments run like a Rolls Royce machine.  We’re glad they’ll be back again in 2017.
• Sean Nunez, who has the responsibility for managing all the aspects of our finances every tournament.  It’s his commitment that ensures the success of our annual Fall Classic.
• Mike Cearley and John Vayo for their volunteer help to ease the burden of all that needed to be done during these 2 days;
• To our members who took it upon themselves to chip in with assistance on Saturday and Sunday;
• To our Catering Crew for the timely arrival and set-up of our ood
• And finally, to the 64 CTGA members who joined us on this picture perfect weekend.

As with every year after our Fall Classic, there’s no rest for the weary…..Our first official 2017 tournament is on Saturday, October 15 at Roy Kizer.  Format will be our 4-Player Team 6+6+6 event.  To those not familiar with this format, the 1st 6 holes will count the two Low Net Scores of the Team, the 2nd 6 holes the 3 Low Net Scores and the last 6 holes will count all 4 player Net Scores.  A fun format that gets all Team players involved.  Sign up deadline for this event is Monday, October 10.

Classic pairings are now available.

2016 Fedex Finals

• Start time for both days is an 8:00 SHOTGUN START

• 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 12:30 as they have a member shotgun event starting at 1:00.  Please work hard to ensure your foursome completes play in 4:30 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 has strongly requested 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 beer this year, so if you want beer, 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.

• We will accept Classic Teams until 7:30 Saturday morning, so if you know you want to be on one or two Teams, please let us know at your earliest convenience.
