The official start of the Captains 2012 golf season is only a few weeks away.  As you make your plans for the new year we urge you to join and become an active member of the Captains Course Men’s Golf Association (CCMGA).

The CCMGA exists to organize competitions and events throughout the year, to promote camaraderie and sportsmanship and to support the operation of Captains for the benefit of all members and guests.  CCMGA sponsors a full calendar of events during the year including the Wednesday Competition, the Captains Invitational, the 9 & Dine series, the Two Man Best Ball Tournament and more.  This year the CCMGA will sponsor new pin reflectors that will enhance the performance of range-finders.  The CCMGA is the proud sponsor of an annual scholarship awarded to an outstanding college bound student from the Nauset High School golf team.  The CCMGA supports Junior Golf Day at Captains and the Lower Cape Outreach Council tournament.  Last but not least the CCMGA sponsors the food and beverage program for the Captains Invitational Tournament.  In short, the CCMGA is active and involved.

CCMGA membership for 2012 is only $20.  The organization will be better if you are a member.  If you were a member of the CCMGA in the past we thank you for your support and look forward to your membership in 2012.  If you were not a member in the past we hope you will join and help us make the 2012 golf season the best it can be.

Here is a great article about The Captains Golf Course.  It was written by Scott Coen.  Scott is the News and Sports Feature Reporter for ABC40/Fox6 in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Greetings from Cape Cod.

If there’s one thing you can count on while visiting the Cape, it’s all the great golf courses there are to play.

And one of the best courses to play on Cape Cod is The Captains located in Brewster, Massachusetts.

The first thing you notice about The Captains is what great shape the golf course is in. There are two 18 hole layouts that make up the golf course, and despite the large volume of play this public golf course gets, the conditions the day I played were immaculate.

Dennis Toland (scholarship chairman), Chaun Medeiros, Mike O'Connell (CCMGA President)

The CCMGA is proud to announce that Chaun Michael Medeiros has been chosen as the recipient of our Memorial Scholarship.  Chaun was a member of the Nauset Golf Team and will be attending Elon University in the fall.  He plans to go out for the Division 1 golf team.  He currently sports a handicap of +2.3, so if you play against him make sure you get the extra strokes you are entitled to.

The CCMGA wishes Chaun all the best in his continuing education and future endeavors.

Once again, the Captains Golf Course was voted the Best Golf Course on the Lower Cape by the Cape Cod Life magazine readership. The Lower Cape consists of Brewster, Harwich, Chatham, and Orleans.

Format: Individual Quota
This event is a Memorial Trophy Qualifier.

A-Flight: 1. Dave Hussey (+4) 2. Rob Harris (-3) 3. George Weiss (-5)
