Our 2022 Chapter Championship Recap
|
What a Great Chapter Championship!
Thank you to everyone who played in our 2022 Chapter Championship, affectionately known as the “CHA CHA.” It was an amazing event, and I believe it was one of our best CHA CHAs ever. We’ve received lots of positive feedback from many participants after the event. If you couldn’t join us this time, we hope you will be there next year!
It was two days of intense (but mostly fun!) competition at The Crossings at Carlsbad. We love this tournament because it is for all skill levels who want to compete in a fun and supportive environment. We did our best to try to make that happen. In reviewing the results, I was impressed that the flight winners came from a wide range of handicap indexes, and that’s what it’s all about. Everyone has a chance to take home a trophy if you perform at your best!
Congratulations to our winners, and especially to our newly crowned Gross and Net Champions. It’s a huge honor to be proud of, and I’m counting on you to represent our Chapter with integrity and in the spirit of the game of golf that we all love.
Lastly, a big thanks to Stacey Hayashi for all of the work and planning that went into the Chapter Championship.

Championship Sponsor
We can't thank Vessel, our Championship sponsor, enough for their support of our club and the awesome prizes! All of our top finishers in each flight received a Vessel magnetic towel and our two Champions get $300 off to shop online, plus free monogramming.
Vessel provided all of our members a 15% off discount to shop online at vesselbags.com. The special discount code with details was sent out to all of our members on June 22.

Events like our Chapter Championship cannot happen without the help of our volunteers. We appreciate the time and effort Mary Sheppard gave to help with rules during the Zoom session and for creating the Local Rules. Also, a shout out to Michelle Natalier for marshaling and keeping on top of the pace of play.
Special thanks to all of our volunteers!
Ann Stephens, Denise Nelesen, Sue Rowe, Jennifer Porter, Ashley Riggs-Zeigen, Michelle Natalier, Mary Shepperd, Sharon Council, Sally Hagar, Lisa Schmidt, Cretia Hadley, and Deb Cowan.

Our 19th Hole Extended party at the home of Susan and Mike Crawford was a blast! Their backyard was the perfect venue and easily accommodated our 50 + players and non-playing volunteers. The pictures will show how we entertained ourselves with food, beverages, pool, and hot tub for up to three hours, waiting for the leaders to finish their rounds and join us for the festivities. We are so grateful to Mike, our chef du jour, who slaved over a hot grill in the hot sun for much of that time. And Susan was the best hostess organizing the food set up and ensuring we were all well fed! We presented them with Susan’s favorite wine, a bottle of special whiskey for Mike, and a restaurant gift card for them both.
THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY!
