The Calimesa Men's Golf Club
- Happy New Year, Members! I hope all Members, along with their families and friends, had a great holiday season. I’m looking forward to a prosperous 2026 for The Calimesa Men’s Golf Club.
- The Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on Sunday, December 21, 2025, at Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon. The meeting included a review of 2025, recognition of the 2025 major champions, a look ahead to 2026, and the election of the Board of Directors. Members also provided great feedback and input, much of which will be implemented in 2026.
The Membership unanimously elected the 2026 Board of Directors as follows:- President – Michael Ebert
- Vice President – Josh Alesi
- Treasurer – Justin Mallinckrodt
- Secretary – Glenn Young
- Tournament Chairman – Doug Owens
- Handicap Chairman – Doug Solano
- Greens Chairman – Spencer Owens
- Social Media Chairman – Chris Garcia
- President – Michael Ebert
- Recently, I had the pleasure of being invited to join the “Breakfast Club” for one of their regular gatherings at a local Calimesa restaurant. The picture below shows some familiar past and active Members, including Dudley Adams, Keith McIntosh, and Lifetime Members Tom Spoto and Larry Karr. Even though we don’t see them on the course as often, they are still a vital part of what makes The Calimesa Men’s Golf Club such a fantastic organization. Our Club is not just about golf — it’s about relationships, community, friendships, and camaraderie.
- The 2026 Spoto/Ebert Invitational has been booked. Click here for details on the trip and to download a flyer.
- Tournament Chairman Doug Owens typically emails the tee sheet on Saturday morning with pairings and hole assignments for Sunday’s tournament. If a registered Member cannot attend, needs to drop out, or needs to make a change after the tee sheet has been sent, please call or text Doug rather than emailing him. Emails sent after the tee sheet goes out may not be seen before Sunday. Please call or text Doug at 909-649-1963 to confirm any changes.

- There continues to be an issue with Members registering for tournaments and not showing up. In some cases, Members are registered by others without being notified. Members who register another Member for a tournament must inform them.
When a Member does not show up for a tournament they are registered for, several problems occur:- Extra last-minute work is created for Tournament Chairman Doug Owens
- Doug must notify the course, rearrange groups, and sometimes change hole assignments just minutes before the start
- The course blocks tee times based on registrations and loses those tee times when Members do not show up
- Extra last-minute work is created for Tournament Chairman Doug Owens
- Members who are registered for a tournament and cannot attend must contact Doug Owens (909-649-1963 or ddowens929@gmail.com) no later than the day before the tournament.
- For Members who belong to multiple golf clubs, the SCGA offers a Multi-Member Rebate Program. A portion of the $41 SCGA fee paid with each club’s membership can be refunded. Click here to learn how to apply for the SCGA Multi-Member Rebate.
- There is also a Hole-in-One Prize Fund that Members may voluntarily contribute to. Contact Treasurer Justin Mallinckrodt to join. Click here for details on the Hole-in-One Prize Fund and to see the list of participating Members.
- A reminder that tournament check-in must be completed no later than 30 minutes before the shotgun start. For an 8:00 a.m. shotgun start, the latest check-in time is 7:30 a.m. This allows Tournament Chairman Doug Owens adequate time to finalize players, pairings, hole assignments, and any last-minute changes. Doug has one of the most demanding roles in our Club and spends many hours preparing for each tournament. Please arrive early and check in on time to help make his job a little easier.
