Over the last several months, candidates were nominated and an election was held for the offices of president and vice president of CMGA. During the luncheon, which followed the Club Championship, it was announced that Bob Kaczmarek was elected to the office of president and Sam Selby will be the new vice president. They both assume their positions April 1, with a two-year term. Another issue on the ballot was a consideration by the members of CMGA to move their events to Wednesday from the present Saturday schedule. The votes by the members were to continue with the Saturday schedule for the present.
March events included the monthly Ace of Aces Qualifier, the two-day Member/Guest Tournament, and a two-day Home and Home event versus the Oakwood Men’s Group. For the first time, CMGA will have a match play challenge against the Cottonwood Ladies Golf Association.
