Annual Champion Recognition Changed to a Gross and Net Winner

(from an earlier post in May)

     The ASGA Board of Directors voted to change the way the ASGA Annual Tournament Champions will be recognized. The Annual Champions will be determined in two categories. The ASGA champion will be the player with the lowest gross score in the tournament. A tie for the championship will be settled between the players by having them immediately engage in a sudden death playoff.
     A new Net Champion will also be named. The Net Champion will be the player with the lowest net score in the tournament. A tie for the net champion will be settle by a Western Scorecard Playoff beginning with the 18th hole.
     This is a big change from the previous method. The ASGA will no longer award a runner-up and instead crown a Net Champion. This means that every player in the association will now have the opportunity to be named the ASGA Net Champion and like the Gross Champion collect a lot of monetary awards. 
     For all other players, net scores will be used to determine the flight winners.

Sobremonte Captures HIO With Ace at Clay's #2 Hole

     Mike Sobremonte, playing in the Select Shot Tournament held Tuesday at Jimmy Clay, hit his wedge 101 yards to the #2 green and scored a Hole-In-One. It was the first hole-in-one for Sobremonte and he was ecstatic when asked about it. "My first hole-in-one after fifty years of playing this game" said Sobremonte. Sobremente described the shot, "It was a high shot that hit in front of the hole and with one bounce it went in the hole."The HIO will proved to be more than an exciting happening for Sobremonte as he will pick up a cool $425 from the pot which he had joined with the ASGA. 
     Although this was a happy occasion for Sobremonte as we all congratulate him, it means that the rest of us will have to come up with an extra $5.00 at the Lion's tournament this next Tuesday to get in the next HIO pot. A sign-up station will be at or near the tournament desk at Lions for those of us who would like to have the same feeling as Sobremente on Tuesday.
