Hey boys.

Here are some historical trends and stats to give the new 'Captains' something to think about, and yourself as we head to Belleville in a few weeks.

For this year, I just took handicaps from oobgolf.  They are not the official indexes that will be submitted to Jeff. 

Thanks for maintaining the spreadsheet Jeff Laughlin.

2013 CBGA Itinerary

Welcome to CBGA 2013.

To get in the spirit of CBGA, I think we should all watch this clip on Moe Norman, a Canadian Golfing Legend

We are all a little bit like Moe………some a little more than others.

We are just over a week away!

Step 1- Pick our Captains, please go to http://cbgablog.blogspot.ca/ and make sure you have voted for 2 captains. Currently we have 13 votes, we are missing 5.

Step 2- Once the Captains are picked, we want to pick the teams, get some chirpin’ going over the next week.

Step 3- Make sure your handicap is up to date, most of the CBGA uses http://www.oobgolf.com/

Captains

Your 2012 CBGA Captains...

Ryan Smith and Jeff Laughlin

Voting Update

1.  Please go onto the CBGA Blog and vote for this year's captains using the poll in the upper left corner.  Please vote for two different captains, and don't vote more than once, (this isn't American Idol). Make an effort to do this before Thursday as the elected captains will be drafting their teams on Thursday night. 

Ensure that your votes are in before 8 pm on Thursday. This will determine our Ryder Cup captains as well as our votes for this year's champion. Keep them coming!

CBGA 2012 Information

The CBGA weekend of the century is fast approaching. Based on the scores being entered in to Oobgolf it is obvious that everyone took advantage of the Summer season to prepare for this championship!

We have a great place lined up for the weekend where we'll be spending our time off the golf course. A pond, hot tub, ping pong table and air hockey... just to name a few things...There's also an outdoor fire pit for evening festivities. Bring your instruments and your voices....there may be a meshbacks reunion! With Anthony not there, no one will get the 'thumb down' for their performance.
