You must love the month of October. College football, NFL, MLB
playoffs, and the start of NHL! I hope we all find time to play a little golf.
Speaking of golf if you are in the Wesley Chapel area I highly
recommend you try Pop Stroke, miniature golf at its finest. A Tiger
Woods creation it gives you the feel like you are on a real golf course.
You can eat, drink, and play golf all right there, give it a try. As most of
you were at our last golf scramble and lunch, I would personally like to
thank on behave of our board Mr. Tom Bisanti for giving us insight on
the first tee program of central Florida he works with in helping kids get
started in golf as well as building character and values. Tom and the first
tee greatly appreciate the generous donation of $500 our board
president Bill Gurbisz presented to Tom on behalf of our CHMGA!
Congratulations to both Larry Smallwood for eagle on 8-27 and Paul
Siders who made eagle on 9-4. Let’s us take a look at some recent
results from league play.

your pocket.”-Lee Trevino

Tom Bisanti and Bill Gurbisz

Welcome to the heat, July has arrived. For you snowbirds who headed
back north and cooler temperatures enjoy those golf days in the 70’s.
Your board met on June 6 th but I could not attend as I have undergone
rotator cuff surgery and will be sidelined until late fall. Hope to be
ready to play in the cool fall weather. I believe our membership is right
at 170 so again thank you all. Please keep in mind we will be looking at
tee box assignments in July so if you qualify for a shorter tee box,
please fill out request form in golf shop and drop into our lock box on
side of shop. I again would like to remind all golfers that carts need to
remain 30 feet from all tees and greens and this includes those with a
handicap sticker too. If anyone has new ideas on the games, we play
please talk to one of us and it will be discussed. Here are some of our
past tournament results. Best ball A/C and B/D

I leave you with this. “You swing your best when you have the fewest
things to think about”-Bobby Jones.

With the start of February finally here let us all forget about the chilly December and first couple weeks of January that we have had to played in.  I have had to buy additional pants since it has not been short either.

Let me start with a couple of housekeeping items that we need to bring up. I wanted to make sure you are all aware of our hole-in-one club we have for league play. It is $5.00 and you can print the form from our website which is www.chmga.org. If you are fortunate enough to get an ace you will collect the pot of money. Just fill out the form and leave in our drop box or take in to golf shop. We currently have around 60 members in the club. We did have a hole in one couple months ago and the member was not in the club at that time.

If during play outside of league and you do not get to finish the last few holes you need to put your hole by hole in our USGA GHIN handicap system. The system will then generate the remaining holes based on your handicap. We are working hard in trying to make all golfers get every score in the system that they play to be fairer and more equitable to all golfers. Speaking of handicaps as promised your board reviewed around 8 request to allow members to move up to a new shorter tee box so they could enjoy this wonderful game better. All requests were honored and the golf staff has made the appropriate changes going forward. We will again look at the request in July after our board meeting and adjust as necessary. Remember the formula for tee box assignments can be found on website as well. For some of our newer members it is based on adding your age and handicap index together and that number will assign you to the proper tee box. Your board is always looking for ways to make our association even better so if you have any ideas that you think we should investigate please grab a board member and have a chat. The board members can be found on the website as well so do not be afraid to ask. While you are on the site you can also visit the past months minutes as well. Keep your schedule open for February 6 as this will be our scramble and lunch event which is a way of thanking all our members. We will again run a 50-50 raffle as it was a big hit at our annual meeting. Let us look at some of our recent winners during league play.

As you can see, we have a lot of different winners who not only win a bit of shop credit but more importantly play with members whom they may not know. Play golf, meet new members, a little social hour afterwards you cannot beat this on a Tuesday morning. In closing I will leave you with this quote from one of the best to ever play.

“I never rooted against an opponent, but I never rooted for him either”—Arnold Palmer
