Thanks to all of the CMGC members who participated over the weekend in perfect weather.

The Coronado Senior Team is inviting you to apply for membership.  Our team is in a league with 18 other golf courses in San Diego County (http://sdcsgolfleague.com/id5.html).   We play one home and away match against each of the 18 teams, usually on Fridays.  The season starts in late January and finishes in October with playoffs in November.  You should be available to play in a match about every 6 weeks or so. 

While team members enjoy each other’s camaraderie as well as meeting golfers from other clubs, our primary goal is to win matches and we take it seriously.  The format is 2-man match play with a maximum of 2 points per hole.  We are seeking Coronado members age 55 or older (as of 2/1/20) with a maximum index of 25.0 who enjoy pressure-packed competitive team golf (think Ryder Cup).  Our team really needs some members with indexes between 12 and 24.

Our team has made the playoffs each of the last five years.  We intend to continue that tradition with the ultimate goal of finishing first in the league and winning the playoffs.

Each team member receives a team shirt and hat.  Annual dues are $100

There are a limited number of spots available.  If you are interested, complete the application and email it to royburchill@gmail.com by November 22.
