Greetings fellow golfers,
Only seven guys showed up this morning. The wind was still blowing pretty hard, so the tournament was cancelled. The seven didn’t mind the wind, so they went ahead and played a friendly round. There won’t be a tournament next Thursday, Dec 31st either, so the next one will be on Jan 7th, 2021. Merry Christmas, happy holidays and a happy New Year to all.

Greetings fellow golfers,
Some of you were wondering if we’d be playing golf next Thursday the 24th. The word is that, yes, there will be a tournament. For those who won’t be able to make it, have a merry Christmas and a happy New year.

Greetings fellow golfers,
Jack Fenelon advised me of the following: For those who missed the announcement on the website a couple of weeks ago, we will be playing winter rules until further notice. This means you are allowed to lift your ball, clean it, and place it back on the ground without a penalty. Also, groups need to keep up with the group ahead. If you see that you have an entire hole between you and the group ahead of you, then your group needs to speed up.
Today’s top golfers were Jack Fenelon with the best gross score of 90 and Dom DiNielli with a 67 net. Way to go guys.

Greetings fellow golfers,
There won’t be any golf next week because of the Thanksgiving holiday. Golf will resume on Thursday Dec 3rd.
Regarding hole #7/#16, Jack Fenelon wrote: There’s a lot of mud on the right side and on the long fairway. If your ball comes to rest in a muddy area, you get a free drop out of the mud, without a penalty, no closer to the hole.
Now that winner is almost here, we are going to start playing winter rules in which you’re allowed to pick up your ball on the fairway, clean it, then place it back where it was.
Today’s top golfers were Jack Fenelon with an 87 gross score and me with a 65 net.
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

Greetings fellow golfers,
It’s that time of the year again. Time to pay our membership dues of $ 60.00. You can pay on-line by going to the SCGA (Southern CA Golf Association) website, or you can give your check to Von Williams if you catch him at our tournaments. Most member’s dues are due at the end of the year. Those newer members who joined in mid year don’t have to pay until their anniversary date comes around.
On another note, there have been some concerns voiced by some of our members regarding slow-play. Apparently some golfers are slower than usual with their pace of play. This is due to a combination of walking slow, being slow at choosing the right club, numerous practice swings and slow at putting their clubs away. As a general rule, once it’s your turn to hit, this should be done within 40 seconds, preferably sooner. Slow-play affects your group and every single golfer behind you. It’s a one-stroke penalty for slow-play on the first offense. Two-strokes on the second, and disqualification on the third. Everyone is encouraged to play “ready golf”. If it’s not your turn, but the other person isn’t ready, go ahead and hit as long as it’s safe to do so.
Another item that came up recently is “holing out”. There are no “gimme” putts in stroke tournament play. The technical term is a conceded putt. This is where you aren’t required to make your final close putt because your opponents concede that there’s no way you can miss, or the outcome will not make a difference. Gimme putts are regularly done among golfers playing for fun. They are not allowed in stroke-tournament play, although conceding a putt is allowed in match play. In our tournaments, you must hit the ball into the cup on every hole and you must count every stroke it takes to do so, even the one-handed misses from one foot away. Failure to hole out will result in disqualification.
This week’s top golfers were Earl Clark and Fred Rudy. They both had a 94 gross score and a 71 net. Way to go guys.

Greetings fellow golfers,.
Next week’s results won’t be posted until Monday. Jack Fenelon will by out of town until Sunday and will send me Thursday’s results Monday afternoon.
Chris Bartelson and I played Camarillo Springs Tuesday with a friend named Al. During the round, my cart died. It wasn’t because the battery ran down. Al tried to give me a push with his cart to see it this would get mine started, but then his cart also quit. We tried the usual things like turning the ignition off and on and pulling up on the accelerator pedal. Nothing worked until another golfer came by, lifted the seat, and threw a switch by the battery. Apparently they have a circuit breaker that flips off at times. This did the trick. Camarillo Springs’ carts look identical to the ones we use at Saticoy, so if your cart ever stops running and it’s not the battery or the accelerator pedal, look for the switch under the passenger side of the seat.
Today’s top golfers were Pat Reeves with and 86 gross score and me with a 64 net.

Greetings fellow golfers,
One of our long-time club members is going to undergo surgery on November 2nd. Dick Kohnmann is having knee-replacement surgery on his right knee. He had this procedure done on his left knee about four years ago. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
