The CVGA

On Tuesday April 2nd the CVGA played a Modified Stableford tournament. Players earned 1 point for a bogey, 2 points for a par, 4 points for a birdie and 8 points for an eagle. Handicaps were taken into account at the end of the round and the player with the highest score at the end won.

It was a breezy but sunny day, and the greenskeeper had the course set up easy due to the Sheraton tournament that happened on the weekend. There were some good scores as a result.

With 14 players we split the group into two flights: handicaps of 22 and lower, and handicaps of 23 and higher. 1st place in each flight earned c23,000 and 2nd place c13,000.

Hole in One!

On Hole #7, Mickey van Waasbergen hit one of her usual low, straight tee shots. It landed on the front of the green and kept rolling, rolling, rolling to the yellow pin at the back right corner of the green until it dropped gently into the hole, without even hitting the flag stick - a Hole in One!

Mickey's birthday is today (Wednesday) and she turns 81. Congratulations Mickey, and Happy Birthday!

Closest to the Pin

Bobby Locke hit his ball closest to the pin on hole #5 and won c6000 as a result.

Closest Chip

Chuck Colton hit his chip on Hole #18 closer than anyone else, and also won c6000.
