Fernandina Beach Men's Golf Association

6/26

We had a great day for golf this morning and 40 FBMGA members teed it up at 8:30 AM. We had 20 two- man teams playing a shamble where both players drive and they pick the drive they want to play and each player plays his ball into the hole from there. The total of the two players is the score for the hole. We added a new wrinkle this tournament and each player had to play their own ball into the hole on the par threes. It made a difference, because I heard of some double and triple bogeys on 7South.  Thanks to all those who played and congratulations to the winners. We had four flights and $1,800 in prize money.      TEAM                                                                GROSS        NET        WINNINGS PER PLAYER R. Oliver/P.

 2.    UPDATE: FRIENDS OF THE FERNANDINA BEACH GOLF CLUB, INC., a 501 (C) 3 organization a group of FBMGA and FBWGA members have had a planning meeting for organizing this non-profit organization.

 As always, if you have ideas to improve our FBMGA Tournaments, please contact me. New member Mark Omura has been discussing some new ideas and one that I liked I heard from someone else recently. A Two man shamble but each player will have to use 9 drives: A player: 1,3,5,7,9, etc. B player: 2,4,6,8, 10 etc. Play your own ball in from the player's drive that you have to play. I might try that in the fall.  The Golf Course Advisory Board is starting to set up a committee to start organizing a "FRIENDS OF THE FERNANDINA BEACH GOLF COURSE" non-profit organization.  If you are interested in assisting in this long term project, contact me.
