The CMGC's 19th Annual Myrtle Beach Adventure has been in the books for nearly a week. I'm enjoying the last of the Fat Tires I brought home from South Carolina while typing up this report. This morning I finished assimilating the many photos from everyone who brought a camera. Much like MB10, it is among our best work. The 2010 trip lacked two of our regulars, but what it lacked in attendance it more than made up for in entertainment, good times and harmony.
MB10 got stirred up right off the bat with a venue change to the Tropical Breeze. After several years at the big condo in North Myrtle Beach, we got a last minute upgrade to a house in Cherry Grove when Jeff pushed the hot tub issue. "Would any of these suit you?" asked from Elliott. Why yes, this one would be fab. Private house, private bathrooms for (almost) everyone, huge kitchen, great veranda overlooking the surf, easy access, and the hot tub worked. Home run. Nice job Jeff.
Pre-trip deals with Mother Nature paid off and rewarded us with possibly the best weather ever. The golf wasn't bad either. There were several sub-par net rounds, a round in the 70s, birdies and dogballs, and the final round in Jeff's quest to play every course on the Grand Strand.
The Competition Committee has finalized the tournament structures and stakes. Par 3s will still be $8, but other things are a little unusual with only seven competitors. Every Man Is A Diamond will still determine the pairings for days 1-3 with the winning team splitting $40 each day. The last day will pay $20 to the low net in each group reverse seeded by current winnings. Low net for the trip will still get first choice of rooms in 2011 with subsequent choices made by ranking. There may be no repeat winning Best Ball teams and all redraws will be from scratch. Best Ball Tie Breakers will be played on course if possible, and regression from 18 based on net scores if not. Par 3s will carry over to next day except on Day 4 where cash distributed among that day's Par 3 winners. If a round cannot be finished, results will be calculated based on last universally completed hole. Simple, eh?
Welcome to the new home of the Columbus Metro Golf Club. After years on Geocities, the CMGC has moved to a new home. The CMGC is a group of guys in Central Ohio who have played competitive golf for going on twenty years. Thanks for reading.
