LACFGA Needs You!

Thanks to the 500 members of our association, we play some of the best golf courses in Southern California.  Other golf associations do not play near the quality of golf courses we have and they don't get enough players to have a shotgun start.  Here's how you can help, BY SIGNING UP, participating in our tournaments.  Many of the private courses we play require 100 players.  So, if you want to continue to play top private country clubs sign up and get your fire buddies to join in.

I am not sure if you have noticed, but John’s right arm is 4 inches longer than his left.  After many hours of deliberation, bourbon & cigars, we have concluded that it is due to the weight of “The Box” John brings to our tournaments.  All the unclaimed winnings envelopes are weighing the box down.  The list of unclaimed envelopes quite extensive.

 

As a test, winnings for the 2026 January Monthly were paid to each player as a credit card refund to the card used to pay tournament fees.  The exception to this was, a player that won more than he paid for the event & a player that was added to the roster as a replacement player & did not register for the event. (The two players from January that met these criteria were sent their winnings via mail)

 

Going forward we will continue to pay out tournament winnings via a refund & work on exhausting the list of unpaid winnings by paying the outstanding winnings.  The remainder of the outstanding winnings will be paid via F&A Transfer, Venmo & Mail.  If you have outstanding winnings, be patient, this is a work in progress and will not happen overnight.

 

This only applies to LACFGA tournaments only and not other events like SCFGA Tournaments & The Inferno.
