NEWS - December 2015

  • It's hard to believe that there's just one more month of 2015.  December is an important month for the Men's Club.  The Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on December 6.  The meeting starts at 7:00 am.  A free breakfast will be served to all Members in attendance.   Please bring you comments, ideas, suggestions, grievances, recommendations, etc.  The Board would like to know how it's doing.


  • The meeting agenda is as follows:​
    • ​Review of 2015
    • A Look at 2016
    • ​Rules Review
    • Section Reports
    • ​Election of Officers
    • Awards
    • ​Open Forum
    • Beat the Board Tournament


  • The Beat the Board Tournament will be played immediately following the AGM (8:30 am).  The format is a 4-man scramble and the board will field two teams.  Members may create their own teams and will be randomly selected to play against one of the board teams.  Any team that beats the board will place.  The board teams have to beat at least half of the teams in their flight to place.  Entry into the tournament is free!  An optional team skins game will be played.


  • The USGA has published rule changes that become effective January 1, 2016.  Click here to view the changes.  If you have any questions, please contact a Member of the Board.


  • The YTD tournament payouts have been updated as of 11/22/15.  Click here to view the list.


  • Just a reminder, please do not post your score after a tournament.  The new tournament software will post scores automatically.


  • There have been several questions from Members about the new lateral water hazards (red stakes) at Calimesa Country Club.  The USGA has a short video that explains the rules related to water hazards and how to correctly apply them.  Click here to watch the video.  If you have any questions about the rules related to a water hazard, please contact a Member of the Board.


  • Pace of play is important to all Members of our club.  There is room for improvement to reduce the length of time our tournaments take.  Please make every effort to check in by 7:30 am.  This will allow the Tournament Committee enough time to make last minute changes prior to the 8:00 am shotgun.  Plan on gathering around the flagpole at 7:50 for announcements and being at your assigned hole by 7:55.  Be aware of your position on the course and always keep pace with the group ahead of you.  Play ready golf, keep on a eye on your ball and your playing partner's ball, and always hit a provisional ball if there's a chance your ball is lost or out of bounds.  Aim to finish by 12:30 pm.  The Tournament Committee wants to having all scoring finished by 1:00 pm.


  • If you haven't already renewed your 2016 membership, please do so before the Annual General Meeting on December 6.  You will be dropped from the roster as of January 1, 2016 if your dues aren't paid.  Click here for information on how to pay your dues.
