Don’t forget about the meeting and luncheon to be held on Nov 12th at the Wedgewood. Also, don’t forget about the Sea Bee tournament on Monday Nov 9th. Previous notices had Nov 10th as the date, but it’s actually on the 9th. We also need more sign-ups for both of these activities. Just a reminder, November is our membership renewal month. Early renewals are greatly appreciated.

Next week we will be playing a Stableford Tournament. The scoring will be as follows:

Double bogie = 0 points
Bogie = 1 point
Par = 2 points
Birdie = 4 points
Eagle = 8 points

Congratulations go out to our winning foursome of today’s scramble. The team of Tapia, Smith, Charbonneau and Atmore ended the tournament 4 under par with a gross score of 64. Their net was 53. Way to go guys.

“A perfectly straight shot with a big club is a fluke.” — Jack Nicklous

Just a couple of reminders. Thurs. Nov. 12th is our club luncheon at the Wedgewood right after our weekly tournament. $ 6.00 is a good price for a nice deli-type sandwich. Don’t forget about the next “away” tournament at the SeaBee base on Nov 10th. It’s $ 35.00 at the door with $ 10.00 going to Ron Laufer. If you don’t have a base pass, you will need to apply for one ASAP since it takes about 2 weeks for it to be approved. This is the last away-tournament of the year. Next Thursday’s tournament will be a scramble.

Congratulations go out to our two top golfers of the week. Richard Guzik had the top gross score with a 78. Peter Wright had the best net score with a 61. Way to go guys.

“You must have long-range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-term failures.” — Charles Noble

Four announcements:

1. The weekly tournament start time is going to remain 7:30am until further notice.

2. We are now accepting membership dues for the coming year. It’s easier all the way around if we can start processing the membership fees a little early. If you can help us out with this, it will be greatly appreciated.

3. During last week’s tournament, John Gonzales scored a hole-in-one on hole #5. This information was sent to me along with that week’s scores, but I was late in getting home and late in posting the scores so I didn’t scroll down far enough on the email sent to me that contained the scores and the notice of John’s H.I.O. For this I apologize. Congratulations go out to John. Hole-in-ones are few and far between and so we celebrate these rare occurrences by giving acknowledgement to the skilled golfer. Some say H.I.O.s are pure luck. I’ve always said, skill gets you close enough to enable Lady Luck to do her thing. John will be receiving a $ 100.00 check at our next tournament.
DSCN0066(sm) This is a photo of John that I had in my files. It was taken about a year ago.

4. The next away tournament will be on 11-10-15 at Naval Base Ventura County (the Seabee Base). The cost will be $ 35.00 at the door and an additional $ 10.00 going to Ron Laufer, our tournament chairman. The first T-time is set for 7:30 AM (0730 hours for all you military veterans). The sign-up sheet and applications-to-play will be available next Thursday.

The winners of this week’s tournament were: Steve Smith with the best gross score (80) and Charles McLaughlin with the best net score (59). Way to go guys.

Bob Escobedo

Late post: We will be having luncheon at the Wedgewood after our golf tournament on Nov 12th. Phil Youker will be able to start collecting the fees beginning next Thursday.

“I never blame myself when I’m not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it’s not my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?” — Yogi Berra

I thought it was only fitting to find a quote from Yogi Berra since he just passed away. Not everything is said made sense (i.e. this quote), but he was a funny guy just the same.

Congratulations goes out to our top golf team of this month’s scramble. The team of Laufer, Obrien, Wright and Walker came in first with a gross score of 64 and a net of 52. Way to go guys.

Right below the results is a post that was sent to me by Dick Kohnmann regarding Joe Toy, one of our long-time members. He hasn’t been around lately because he stopped playing when he began to lose his eyesight, but he has attended some of our barbecues in the recent past. He will be 102 years old on Oct 20th.

Another Club Championship is complete. We took our place on the course, did the best that we could and now those golfers that prevailed as the winners of the tournament played over the last two Thursdays, have been declared. Congratulations go out to our top golfers. Richard Guzik is our new Club Champion in the Top-Gross-Score division, Jerry Workman took first place in the Super-Senior division and John Gonzales earned the first place prize in the Low-Net division. Way to go guys. An honorable mention goes out to Robert Charbonneau who had the best net score for today’s tournament with a 64.

$ 100.00). Top right: Jerry Workman (smiling because he also won $ 100.00). Bottom left: File photo of John Gonzales playing at Mountain View (happy because he won $ 50.00). On a side note, I wasn’t aware that our new Club Champion, Richard Guzik, had won this event 7 times previously (2002, 03, 05, 07, 08, 09 and 2012). Way to go Richard.

For those of you who weren’t at today’s golf tournament, Joe Henry announced that the Fall club barbecue slated for this Friday, has been cancelled due to a low turn out. We only had approximately 25 members sign up. In order to mitigate our expenses we need to have closer to 60. Maybe next time.

“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” — Michael Jordan

This had to be the hottest and the most humid golf day of the year. It was a scorcher, especially for those who chose to walk the course. But like the Navy Seals say, “What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger”.

At today’s Board meeting, the subject of entering tournament scores into the SCGA computer came up. For those new members that aren’t sure how this is done, all scores are entered by the Tournament Chairman. There is no need to enter your score since this will result in a duplicate entry.

Don’t forget about the club barbeque that’s scheduled for Friday September 25th. It’s only $ 10.00 per person and it will feature the one-and-only Joe Henry, BBQ Manager-Chef extraordinaire, on the grill (where can you get a BBQ dinner in this town for that price?). Come support the club and get some great eats. Also, we can always use some volunteers for set up between 9AM and 10AM on the day of the BBQ.

If you scroll down past the posted scores you’ll find the latest issue of the PARS-N-SCARS publication brought to you by Dick Kohnmann. Thank you Dick for the time and effort you put into this great publication.

Congratulations goes out to our two top golfers of the week. Richard Guzik had the best gross score with a 78 and John Gonzales had the best net score with a 63. This puts them in the lead for the Club Championships. I don’t have the results for the Super Seniors. Way to go guys.

Just a reminder to all. Next week is the first week of the Club Championship. To qualify, players must play both weeks (9/10 and (/17). Players can still play in the weekly tournament if they are unable to play both weeks. All players will be playing to their lowest handicap during the month of July, August and September.

The winning team of today’s 4-man scramble was the team of Clark, Escamilla, Bartelson and Rose. They had a gross score of 63 with a net score of 52. Way to go guys. The format showing the results was sent to me in a slightly different format, so I converted it to a JPEG, similar to a photograph. Click on it to enlarge.
