This year’s President’s Cup, Annual Meeting and Luncheon will be held at Morris Williams Pavilion on October 21st. Here are some details of the event.
PRESIDENT'S
CUP (MATCH PLAY)
 |
| The President's Cup |
As
we do each year, today’s event will be match play, with a shotgun start at 8:00AM. All players must be in carts by 7:45. You MUST rent a cart for this event.
(You do not have to use it—if you don’t, please advise your opponent IN ADVANCE
of heading to your starting tee.)
Past President Greg Marshall will lead Team Blue along with his Assistant Captain Jim Sallade, our current Handicap Chairman.
Lewis
Howell, a former ASGA president, last year led the 45-person RED team to
a close 24-21 victory over Team Blue rival leaders Sam Mihalik, a
former president, and Jim Sallade.
This year current President Allan
Myers will captain Team Red, along with Bruce Jones as Assistant Captain.
The four leaders plus Shawn Higgins, Event Chair, will meet
Saturday morning the 18th to draft this year’s teams.
How do you get to be selected to play Oct 21? It is simple. Sign up or have your usual person sign you up to play in the event. The sign up will be open Wednesday the 15th until 4 o'clock Friday the 17th. No need to select a time as the event is a shotgun start (appx. 8:00). You must sign up by Noon Friday. Maximum number of signups 144, first-come-first-served. Friday afternoon Bruce Jones will compile the list of signups and forward it to the Captains and Event Chair so they will have time to prepare for Saturday morning's draft. You will see on Sunday the 19th at the usual time which team you are on and who you will compete against in net match play.
If for some reason you need to cancel after signing up, send an email to Bruce Jones so another opponent can take the missing place.
On Tuesday morning you will pay your usual fees at the
course. A special scorecard will be handed out for each pair of matches,
showing stroke differences, if any. The winning President Cup team members will
win $14 whether they won, lost, or tied their individual match.
THE ANNUAL MEETING
At
the meeting we will elect Association Officers for the upcoming 2025-2026
season. In addition, door prizes will be provided for those with luncheon banquet
tickets, along with announcements of the Grand Prix winners, and of course the
President's Cup. There will also be members recognized for special awards.
MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE ELECTION OF
OFFICERS.
