SKINS FOR OCT 22, 2020

Greetings fellow golfers,

It is with a heavy heart that I report the passing of one of our long-time members.  I received notice from Dick Kohnmann that Joe Henry passed away on September 28 of a pulmonary embolism while in the intensive care unit.  Joe was a long-time member, but hadn’t been active in the club for about five years due to medical problems.  He was one of our board members and served as club president.  Joe was also a member of the Elks Lodge and held the position of Exalted Ruler.  When our club held it’s bi-annual barbecues, Joe was able to let us use the Elks Lodge.  He would spend the entire day organizing and preparing for the barbecues.  Joe retired from the County of Ventura where he worked as a dispatcher in the Fleet Maintenance Department.  Prior to that, in his younger days, he was a race car driver for NASCAR and worked on the cars too.  He was also a veteran of the U.S. armed forces and served in Korea during the war.  If there’s a golf course in heaven, then Joe out there on the fairway with the rest of our guys.

Today’s top golfers were Jack Fenelon with an 85 gross score and Dale Watson with a 52 net.  Way to go guys.

Regarding the skins payout, each winner will get $ 3.00 per skin, instead of $ 2.00 as shown on the document.

Regards,

Robert Escobedo

Greetings fellow golfers,

In addition to getting relief when your ball comes to rest in a gopher hole or on the mound, you also get relief (no closer to the hole) if your stance is impacted by same.

Today’s top golfers were Ed Maulhardt with the best gross score of 85 and Gene Charbonneau with the best net score of 64.  Way to go guys.

SKINS FOR OCT 8, 2020

Greetings fellow golfers,

Jack Fenelon asked me to reiterate some of the local rules that not everyone may be aware of.

Golf balls in footprints: If your ball comes to rest in a footprint in a bunker, you are allowed to pick it up and place it on a surface outside of the footprint, but no closer to the hole.  There is no penalty for this.  If you take a drop out of the bunker, then there is a two-stroke penalty.

Golf balls in gopher holes: If your ball comes to rest in a gopher hole, it can be removed.  You then get a free drop within a club length of the gopher hole, but no closer to the pin.  There is no penalty for this.  If your ball lands on or near a gopher mound and your  swing will most likely be impeded by the mound, you also get a free drop.

South perimeter fence on hole 4/13:  When you look down the fairway from the T-box on this hole, if your ball ends up against the protective netting on the right border, you get a free drop away from the netting, no closer to the hole.  To qualify for the free drop, your ball has to be close enough to the netting that your swing is impeded by the netting.  In any area where there isn’t protective netting installed, you don’t get a free drop.  If the ball goes through the net, but not the perimeter chain-link fence (comes to rest between the net and the chain-link fence) you get  a fee drop.  If the ball goes through the net and through the chain-link fence, you are SOL because the ball is now out of bounds and considered a doggy toy.  (Note: You do not get a free drop when your ball comes to rest against the right border fence of hole #1/10 or hole #7/#16, or any other perimeter fence).

Golf carts near the greens:  Golf carts are not to be driven within 25 feet of any green, especially along the fringe (frog hair).  Some of our golfers were seen doing this today.  Many golfers putt from the fringe.  Tire marks interfere with the movement of the ball as it rolls along the fringe.  Also, the weight of the cart can compress and damage the grass around the greens when subjected to frequent traffic.  Some courses have 20 yard limits.

Today’s top golfers were Jack Fenelon with the best gross score of 81 and David Soriano with the best net score of 59.   Way to go guys.

Robert Escobedo

Greetings fellow golfers,

It took me awhile to get this post published today.  For some reason, the website would not accept the normal-sized small jpeg photos.  I even resized them down to a “1”.  I kept getting a notice that the pixel size was too big, so I had to make several attempts at finding the “Goldilocks” size (not to big and not too small).  I finally got the photos downloaded to the website.  They may not enlarge very well due to the small pixel count.

Below are the winners of this year’s SSMGC Club Championship. Below left is Club president Earl Clark awarding a $ 100.00 check to Jack Felelon who is our gross-score champion.  Jack is also our tournament chairman.  On the right is Dom Dinielli holding his $ 100.00 check for winning the net-score division.  Dom is our 2nd Vice President and also our handicap chairman.  Below left is George Rose with his $ 50.00 check for winning the Super-Seniors division.  Congratulations to all.  It looks like these guys were able to bring their “A” games to the Club Championship tournament.

(Note:  I had to chase these guys down on the golf course today.  That’s why Earl Clark is only in one photo).

The top golfers of today’s tournament were Thomas Tone with a 91 gross score, and Bolden Roosevelt with  a 63 net score.  Way to  go guys.
