The funeral services for John (Pony) Horsman:

At the Shrine of Remembrance
1730 East Fountain Blvd

Obituary:
Capt. John Horsman, Jr. (USN Ret.), 72, passed away at home on September 19, 2024, after a hard-fought battle with pancreatic cancer. He was a resident of Colorado Springs for 21 years after a 29-year career as a naval aviator took him all over the world.
John, or “Pony” (as most people knew him), was born on July 2, 1952, to John and Janice (Morehous) Horsman in Muncie, IN. He was a 1970 graduate of Portland High School in Portland, Indiana, where he met his future wife, Susan (Heniser). They were married on July 6, 1974, and both graduated from Purdue University in December 1974.
Pony had a distinguished career in the Navy, retiring as a Captain in 2004. He served in Patrol Squadrons VP-5 and VP-30 at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, FL. In 1983 he reported to the Philippines as Flag Secretary onboard Commander Carrier Group 5/Commander Task Force 70. During this period, he embarked aboard USS Midway and USS Carl Vinson. His travels then took him to NAS Brunswick, Maine. While serving as the XO of VP-11, the squadron deployed in direct support of Operation Desert Storm, and he assumed command the following year. His staff tours took him to both EUCOM and USSPACECOM and he served as the Executive Assistant to two different 3-Star Admirals and a 4-Star General. He subsequently served as the Chief of Staff/Inspector General of the Naval Research Laboratory and earned a master’s degree from the Naval War College. After retiring from the Navy, he went on to work for the Missile Defense Agency at Schriever AFB.
Pony loved golf, hunting, fishing, and competitive shooting. He was nationally certified as a Range Officer for USPSA shooting matches.

All,
One team with a playing handicap difference of less than 10 was assessed a 10% playing handicap penalty when the penalty should not have applied. This has been corrected, and it did result in a change in the standings and payouts for Flight 2.
For those who look at the details, you’ll see there were three teams yesterday where the playing handicap difference between partners is 9 on the score sheet. In Golf Genius, playing handicaps are computed to the thousandth decimal, which the score sheet doesn’t show. For these three teams, the differential between partner playing handicaps was 9.513, 10.066, and 10.066. The 10% penalty for the 9.513 team was removed, but remained in effect for the two teams with a differential greater than 10.
Corrected results are attached.
Thanks,
Your Tournament Committee

Golf Genius –
Thanks to the 89 members who attended today’s breakfast and Member-Member tournament.
The tournament results are attached.
Our next tournament is the EGC EMGA Appreciation Day Devil Ball tournament, Tue, 1 Oct, with an 0900 Shotgun start. Last call is tomorrow, so you still have time to sign up through the original Invite, the Reminder Invite, or through the EMGA Portal. There’s no separate invitation for the lunch—if you’ve signed up for the Devil Ball, you’re signed up for lunch.
Thanks,
Your Tournament Committee

Gentlemen,
We have lost the Blue and Silver dining rooms for our Breakfast this Thursday morning, September 26th, to the Corona prep team. Breakfast and our EMGA meeting will most probably be in the Grille area but could move up to the Pavilion so thank you in advance for your patience and flexibility.
Since there are not going to be enough table and chairs in either location, we switched the menu from the normal sit-down buffet of scrambles, bacon, sausage, etc to food we can eat standing up – breakfast burritos and mini pastries finger foods.
Also, since the Club will be making one burrito per person, if you are not on the list below and still want to eat breakfast, we are sorry but it is too late to sign up. You are though welcome to stick around in case there are any extras.
This also means we will be checking members in for breakfast to ensure there is enough food for everyone who has signed up. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE MANDATORY CHECK-IN REQUIRED FOR THE MEMBER-MEMBER TOURNAMENT AND SKINS.
Thank again for your understanding
Don Knight
EMGA Vice President
