TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR’S REPORT
We had a good turnout for the member-member tournament with about 70 players. Congratulations go out to the winners of Flight A, John Jurczak and Larry Pagel with a combined net score of 55 and to our winners of Flight B, Don Miyada and Ed Chavez also with a combined net score of 55. This was also our tournament where we awarded a couple of turkeys to two of our closest to the pin winners. This years turkey winners are Tom Thomas and Jim Shampine. With such a high number of players in the skins competition we had many holes on which we had multiply net ones, thus cancelling each other out.

HANDICAP REPORT
Taking Relief from Staked Trees:
Many golfers are under the assumption that they may take relief from trees that are staked. This is only true when there is a local rule affording relief.
If such a local rule exists, you MUST take relief if any part of the tree interferes with the lie of your ball, stance or area of your intended swing.
If there is no local rule regarding staked trees, you are not entitled to relief from the tree. If, however, there is an artificial stake that supports or did support the tree, this is an immovable obstruction from which relief is available under rule 24-2. The relief is only available if the stake (not the tree) causes the interference.
For the record, CMSGA does have a local rule for its tournaments that provides relief (nearest point of relief plus one club length) from staked trees.
Mike Supple
Tournament Chairman
