FBMGA Members:
First thanks to all of the FBGC staff for their help to make our FBMGA Club Championship a success.
I am happy to report that after two rain delays, we have our White, Gold and Red Champions. Congratulations for repeat OVERALL LOW GROSS winner Joe Parrish, Gold Tee LOW GROSS winner Allen Sage and our Red Tee LOW GROSS winners John LaFear and Terry LaCoss. The parking space for those two will read Lafear/LaCoss.
The first tee time was scheduled for 8:52, but after much discussion among 33 golfers we decided on a Shotgun start at 10:00 AM. All was good until 12:30 when the steady rain pulled most of the field into the FBGC Clubhouse (Doc Johnson, Barry Innes and Dan Rainwater continued play and finished all 18 holes). After much discussion and looking at radar screens, we decided on a restart at 2:00 PM. All was good after that - the FBGC really does drain well. We did have nine players withdraw for multiple reasons.
Here are the winners of the $1,640 prize package (the FBMGA contributed $200 to the overall package).
OVERALL LOW GROSS (White flight only) Joe Parrish 81/78 - 159 $200
OVERALL LOW NET Ron Ferrell 71/71 - 142 $200
White Tee Low Gross Price Poole 83/80 - 163 $100
Gold Tee Low Gross Allen Sage 86/84 - 170 $150
Gold Tee Low Net Jim Hurley 74/75 -149 $100
Gold Tee 2nd Low Gross Marc Spindler 88/83 - 161 $75
Red Tee Low Gross Jeff Humphrey 77/67- 144 $150
Red Tee Low Net Tie Jim Raffone 74/72 - 146 $90
Lee Murray 74/72 - 146 $90
Red Tee 3rd Low Gross Charlie Kicklighter 79/82 - 161 $80
Red Tee 4th Low Gross Larry Brauda 84/80 - 164 - $55
Red Tee 4th Low Net Kent Johnson 77/71 - 148 $55
Thanks to all the players. Our next FBMGA Tournament is a TWO MAN BEST BALL on Saturday, May 15. A shotgun start at 9:00 AM. This will be a handicapped and flighted tournament.
See you around the FBGC.

FBMGA Tournament Director

4/20 This will be short and sweet.
This Thursday April 22 at 10:00 AM Kent Johnson and I will start marking and painting the FBGC North Course. The FBMGA will be supplying the paint and the FBGC will be supplying the PVC pipe to mark hazard areas and OB. We certainly would like some others to help us. Please let me know if you can make it.
The handicap committee has reviewed all the GHIN entries from last weekend's Club Championship. Over one third of the field (14) players entered their scores in the handicap computer (or their phone/ipad) incorrectly.
I will be sending emails to those who mistakenly entered, or didn't enter.
In future, your tournament rounds are entered as Competition rounds.
Finally, after spending time and money to get the FBGC looking better with new paint and markers, it has occurred to me that there should be a beautification effort for the FBGC. If you have any interest in being involved in starting a Beautification Project for the FBGC, please let me know. I will be contacting the FBWGA to discuss their involvement in this effort. Nothing has been done to this point. I am just finding out who may be interested in an exploratory group to discuss the best way to proceed.
Thanks for reading,
Lee W. Murray
