Closest to
the
Pin is part of the Skins Game.
In order to claim a skin, you
MUST put your name on the proximity marker. If
the marker is picked up and there is no current name on the marker,
then a skin will not be paid for that hole. NO EXCEPTIONS. So
do not forget to put your name on the marker when you make a good shot
and are the closest. It will cost you money if you make the shot but
your name is missing from the marker.
SLOW PLAY REMAINS A Very REAL
PROBLEM - PLAY READY GOLF -- PLAY CONTINUOUS PUTTING --
A foursome should be able to complete the round in no longer than 4
hours and 15 minutes. Otherwise the course gets backed up and there are
problems for all. If you have
an open hole
in front of you and players are waiting behind you, let them play
through and invite them to play through. Doing the following will speed
up play --
1) Play Ready Golf - That means the first one to the tee hits. Do not wait for an honor system. That means the first one on the fairway or in the rough who is ready to hit goes ahead and plays and does not wait for someone who is not ready just because they are away. The same goes for putting. The player who is ready first regardless of who is away goes ahead and putts. Practice continuous putting without waiting between putts for someone else to putt. 2) The biggest problem is looking for balls. -- The rule is three minutes but is most often ignored. If you hit the ball somewhere where you should not hit it such as deep in the trees or into heavy rough or into a ditch, do not waste time looking for a ball that cannot be found within the 3 minute rule or even if found with prolonged searching cannot be played anyway. Just take your penalty and drop another ball and play on.

Handicap Revised
Continuously on a Daily Basis (WHS)
Last Revision Posted On-Line 16 JAN 2025 10 DEC 2019 -- Our CMGA club handicap system is an internal club system based on the new World Handicap System (WHS) but is meant for local use only for the benefit of our members in our own events. Events outside our club may use the handicap at the discretion of the event committee, but they are not required to do so. The program has been updated to the new WHS club system. The members are not permitted to enter their own scores. The handicap is referred to as a "Club Handicap" and is no longer designated as a "USGA Handicap." *******************************
1)
For new members, an initial handicap can be established based on 3
rounds played with the group instead of the previous
5 rounds.2) The handicap is based on
the best 8 differentials of the last 20 scores.
Previously the handicap was based on the best 10 differentials of the
last 20 scores.
3)
The handicap Index is revised continuously when each new score
is
recorded. Index adjustments are built into the system. You will have an
updated current handicap each time you play. 4) There is now a small index adjustment penalty for exceptionally low scores built into the handicap program. The program is automatically updated whenever changes are implemented. 5) Weather conditions are not used in the WHS club system. 1 JAN 2025 — The following 6 players have been removed from the active handicap list and placed on inactive status for non payment of the handcap fee. Any player on the inactive list can be reactivated to actve status when the handicap fee ($20.00) is paid. No pro-rating the handicap fee for reactivation. Jerry Bailey, Bill Capshaw, Ron Hoover,
Larry Loomis, Larry Redman, Aris Sunio ************************************************************************
Quite a number of rule changes went into effect on 1 JAN 2019. Below is a YouTube video link which explains the 20 most significant rule changes (opens in a new window or tab). No significant rule changes since then for the amateur golfer. No significant changes are expected for 2025. Home Course Designation — The designated Home Course for all the golfers in the CMGA system is Whitestone Golf Club (Red Tees). The handicap reflected on the listing is the Whitestone handicap from the Red Tees. Handicaps can be adjusted for other tees and courses by the Index. There are currently 20 active CMGA Golfers on the Handicap listing. Departed But Not Forgotten

Current Mini-Tournaments - Monday and Wednesday, (Thursday by Advance Sign-up Only) (CMGA Members). The mini-tournaments are played using the Stableford point system. The ball is played up Through-the-Green which means the ball can be bumped a grip length. The maximum score recorded per hole for handicap purposes will be triple bogey. The points required for each player to pull is determined by his handicap using the 54 point total. For example, a player with an 18 handicap will be required to pull 36 (54-18) points. Stableford Points are as follows: Eagle 5, Birdie 4, Par 3, Bogey 2, Double Bogey 1, Triple Bogey 0. Since we play triple bogey maximum and the Red (Forward) tees, the maximum allowable playing handicap is 30 for the Stableford low net game. 1 JAN 2025 -- Note the weekly schedule at the top of the page as tee times and show times are changing and will continue to be somewhat variable for the immediate future. Players coming late may not be allowed to play with the group because tee times cannot be held up in order to reshuffle playing groups to accomodate latecomers.
