A BIT OF HISTORY

Shown below is CCMGA’s first logo as it appeared on the first bag tag. 
It featured what at the time was thought to be the world’s largest green.  
It was used for holes 1, 5 and 10.  The logo was created by Roger Pattee, 
VP of the association's first Board of Governors. More about Mr. Pattee 
in the December newsletter.



AND THE NOMINEES ARE.. 

For a two-year term on the Board of Governors 
beginning in January 2003: Gary Applegate, Don Chambers, Denis Johnson, 
Ken Kerner, Bill Mrozek and Connie Richey. Current board members seeking 
re-election are Don Henkel, Dick Higgins and Tom McConnell. Six seats on 
the board need to be filled in this election. Ballots will be distributed 
at the November 15 Annual Meeting or you can vote by proxy.  Proxy ballots 
will be available later this month in the pro shop, from Dick Higgins at 
the Thursday Razz, or on ccmga.net. To be valid, proxy ballots MUST be 
placed in the slot in the lower locked drawer of the CCMGA Box in the pro 
shop by the computer.  Ballots not signed or properly filled out will not 
be counted. The deadline for receipt of a proxy ballot is 
Monday November 11 at 5:00 PM. 

IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO IN NOVEMBER

As always, some serious golf will be played in the Two-man Team 
(gross and net) Championship on Saturday and Sunday, November 16 and 17. 
On Saturday the front nine will be a scramble, the back nine a modified 
Chapman Scotch.  Sunday will feature one best ball on the front side and 
both balls will count on the back side. All players will tee it up from 
the Blues. The maximum difference between handicaps is 10 strokes. The 
team entry fee is $50 with the field limited to 132 players. The entry 
deadline is 5:00 PM Sunday November 10. 

DECEMBER BRINGS OUR MEMBER GUEST

Introduce a friend to the CCMGA and our course at the annual Member-Guest 
Tournament on Saturday December 21. It’s an 18 hole best ball, gross and 
net event.  Remember your guest must have a current USGA handicap or play 
at scratch.  Play will be from the white tees. The entry fee is $40 per 
team and includes a gift for you and your guest.
The entry deadline is 5:00 PM, Sunday December 15.

HAVE PLAQUES NEED NAMES

We are still looking for the names of the early winners of the Club 
Championship and the President’s Cup.  We believe these events were first 
held in 1984 or 1985. If you know who these winners were, or know someone 
who does, please give the names to President Jim Denmark or any board 
member. We want the names on the two plaques to be as complete as possible.  

SIGN UP NOW FOR '03

Yearly CCMGA dues will remain at $70 for 2003. Application blanks will be 
available at the banquet or you can pick one up from the CCMGA Box in the 
Pro Shop. Completed applications with your check for $70 payable to CCMGA 
can be given to Tom McConnell at the banquet or deposited in the locked, 
lower slot in the CCMGA Box.

YOUR WERE RIGHT, WEREN'T YOU?

A foursome is a match in which two play against two, and each side plays 
one ball. A four-ball is a match in which two play their better ball against 
the better ball of the other two players.
