Our membership voted to limit our membership at our annual membership meeting on September 21st.

The SCGA will continue to send renewal notices to existing members and process credit card renewals for us.  Membership will not be available to new members through the SCGA unless we ask them to change that setting.  Our club will no longer be visible through SCGA's Club Finder or "Find a Club" search.

It is a sad move to exclude ourselves from new members, as that is the source for our continued existence.  Our bimonthly tournaments at the Costa Mesa courses are our main purpose.  For the last year, we have filled every tournament that wasn't impacted by the wet season.  Members have been frustrated by the difficulty in entering events.  

The course has been generous in providing the access to the times that we do get for our tournaments.  It is important that we use this resource wisely and play when we commit to play. 

Officers for next year were also elected at this meeting.  Serving through September 2024 are Bill Cloud, President; Rich Clause, Membership; Jim Meyer, Treasurer; Gerry Schomberg, Handicaps; Jeff MacCarter, Communications; Ron Plummer, Peter Cary, Dave Basile, Dan Hudgins and Bret Bauer, Tournaments.  Bret is new to the Board this year.  Retiring from the Board was Ken Otsubo.

These are the winners of the single day tournament. Our four flight winners are Ryan Haeger (net 67), Steven Johnson (net 65), Don Walls (net 65) and Butch May (net 67). The lowest gross of the day (71) honors were shared by Ryan Haeger, Tom McCafferty and Alex Cruz.

Ed Chavez, Gene Ramirez and Butch May each claimed two skins from the 24 skins won among the four flights. Gene also threw darts at #8 and #12, earning two CTPs.

Thanks to everyone playing in this event that somehow ended up on schedule, despite the chaos at the start. We only try something this complicated once a year.

Round 1 was just completed for our 2023 Club Champion (gross).  The first round was on Wednesday, September 20th, from the Los Lagos white tees.  The second round is on Thursday, September 21st, from the Mesa Linda white tees.  The second round is played as part of our regular Thursday tournament.  No handicaps are used for this competition.  Handicaps will be used for the other competitions taking place on Thursday.  

The gross score from this event will be combined with the gross score from Mesa Linda on September 21st to decide our Club Champion (Gross). Members must have played in 5 events since 10/1/2022. Priority for play is given to eligible players with the lowest handicap indexes who sign up by 9/13/2023. Otherwise, play is open to all members as space allows.
