The CarBrook matches were held the weekend of October 13th and 14th this year. The CarBrook matches are a friendly match between the Carthage Men’s Golf Association and the Men of Briarbrook. The teams are determined by qualifying through the respective Club Championships each year. Previous years had the matches being played both days at one site. This year the first day of Four Ball matches were held at Briarbrook and the second day Singles matches were held at Carthage. Next year Carthage will have the Four Ball matches and Briarbrook will have the Singles matches.

Our CMGA members participating had a blast. The weather was a little sour but that did not take away from the fun friendly competition had by all.

Nobody likes daylight getting shorter – especially golfers!

Who wants to pay a full greens fee when you can’t finish the round? Nobody!

We have a solution!

Thank you to all of the participants in the CMGA Family Scramble! The Carthage Men’s Golf Association has many good events each year. They have a lot of participation and appeal to different players for various reasons. Mainly just because they are fun and competitive. Heavy on the fun!

The Family Scramble is one of my favorites. Special to me because I have had the opportunity to play the event with most of the golfers in my family. I played with my dad this year! We shot 70 in the scramble format. That would not be our best effort but we had fun.

We started the event as a Father/Son format years ago. We changed the format to the Family Scramble when we noticed so many other combinations of relatives playing together at the golf course. Why not just make it a Family Scramble? If you are related you are eligible to be partners. This year we had father/son, father/daughter, husband/wife, uncle/nephew, father in law/son in law, cousins, brothers and I am sure a few I am missing. A lot of fun.

If you haven’t been playing the event dig a little deeper into the family pool. I love family golf! The picture to the right is not from the Family Scramble. It is my brother and I after playing a round in the early 80’s. He still had hair then and I want that visor back! We had lots of family golf activity growing up.  I would try playing with my dog, Cleo, but she wont stay out of the hazards.
