Tournament Report

The weather was good both days but the pace of play was very slow on Saturday due to 3 tournaments being held on the same day and the course conditions were not very good, especially the greens. Therefore, last 2 groups were not able to finish the 18th hole on Saturday but finished on Sunday. On Saturday, 26 players from 7 schools participated with GAA, UCLA and USC competing in team tournaments and the rest competing in individual play. However on Sunday, UCLA withdrew so only 20 players participated with GAA and USC competing in team play. In the end, GAA won by a wide margin over USC in team play and Adam Herald from GAA won the medalist award in individual play. Fortunately, the pace of play on Sunday was much better than Saturday. In summary, a smooth and well-executed tournament with a few moving parts but all resolved and it ended early since we moved up the starting tee time by 1 hour and 20 minutes to avoid playing in darkness.
The NCCGA hosted our 1st golf tournament of the season in Southwest Region at Elkins Ranch Golf Course on Feb 25, 2017. Team Golf Academy of America-Carlsbad won the division with a combined score of 761. The low individual score was recorded by Adam Herald shooting a score of 148.
