RESULTS FOR 11-21-18

Greetings fellow golfers,

I thought I’d treat you to some Turkey Day humor with the cartoons. Anyway, we had a light turnout today with just 15 golfers showing up. It was cold, but we still had a good round, plus we finished in time so that some of you could get home, put on your aprons and start getting your turkey prepped. But seriously, I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and easy does it with the grub tomorrow.

Today’s top golfers were Mark Gerry with a 85 gross score and Jack Fenelon with a 68 net. Way to go guys.

Regards,
Bob Escobedo

RESULTS FOR 11-08-18

Greetings fellow golfers,

I thought I’d share a strange golf experience with you from yesterday’s tournament. We were on the last hole of the day on the #16 dog leg, and I was en route to beating my handicap when I hit slightly left towards the green with a 5 wood. We saw the ball hit the trunk of the large eucalyptus tree on the left border pretty solid, but we did not see which way the ball deflected. We never did find it so I took a 2-stroke penalty. After the tournament and after dropping off my partner in the parking lot, I went back to look for my ball because it had to be out there someplace. After searching unsuccessfully all over the place, I looked up and there it was just barely dangling from a piece of bark. I could see my two red-dot and two black-dot markings on it. I was able to throw a stick at it and get it down. I now realize this had to happen in order to maintain the equilibrium of the universe after I got a birdie on #10 with the 3rd stroke being from 30 yrds out and the ball going into the hole on the second bounce. That’s golf for you.

There will not be a golf tournament on Thanksgiving Thursday, but there will be a tournament the Wednesday prior on the 21st. It will be a regular-play tournament with the scramble taking place the following week.

If you received an e-mail notice from SCGA advising you the your club dues are due, then it’s time to get your $ 60.00 annual payment to Von Williams. Most member’s dues are due at the end of the year, but some of the newer members who joined throughout the year don’t need to pay until their anniversary month.

This week’s top golfers were Van Millan with a 76 gross score and Jack Fenelon with a 64 net. Way to go guys.

Greeting fellow golfers,

Don’t forget about our club luncheon next Thursday right after golf. It will be held at the same location as usual, Santino’s Pizza on Telegraph Rd just west of Ventura College. For all you new members, it’s easier to take Telegraph Rd from Victoria Ave and proceed west. This is easier than having to make a U-Turn at Claremont if you approach from the west (Mills Rd). Just west of Santino’s is Foster’s Freeze in case you need another landmark.

The top golfers of today’s tournament were Mark Gerry with a gross score of 82 and Peter Wright with a net score of 65. Way to go guys.

Regards,
Robert Escobedo

Greetings Fellow Golfers,

What a tournament! I don’t know about you guys, but the golf Gods were really messing with me today. I had numerous two-foot putts lip out time and time again. This game is going to drive me to drinking. Among our foursome, there was one hole that stood out as far as changing the outcome of the gross results. It was on hole #12 (par 5) that Rick Karas drove his ball into the treeline to the left. We saw the ball go into the top of the trees, but we never saw it fall. We looked all over the area but couldn’t find the ball. I was in a cart and drove to the middle of the next fairway (#13) looking for his ball, but couldn’t find it. Rick had to take the two-stroke lost-ball penalty. On the way to the #13 green, I hit a 3-wood right, towards the trees. En route to my ball, I found Rick’s lost ball. The tree he hit must have launched it high and to the left onto the far side of the adjacent fairway. Rick’s final gross score was just one stroke above Mark Gerry’s, the gross-score champion. As a consolation, Rick did get the best gross score for the regular tournament.

The winner of the Club Champion Gross-Super-Senior’s division was none other than Richard Wibbleman. He had a 92 for the first round and a 91 this week for a total gross score of 183.
