Happy New Year! It's the beginning of a new year and an opportunity to look forward for a more stable, consistent, back to normal 2021. There were a lot of challenges for our Club to overcome in 2020. Let's hope for smooth sailing in the days, weeks, and months ahead in 2021.
Just a reminder for the safety of all our Members and their families, please use social distancing before, during, and after Club tournaments and wear a mask whenever possible or when required.

The Bobby (Spoto) Longo Memorial Monument that was located at Calimesa Country Club no longer exists but the Board continues to vote on and honor Members that have passed away. Members are added to the Memorial virtually on our Club website. This year, the Board unanimously voted in Charlie Totoro. Charlie had previously been voted in as a Lifetime Member of the Club, the highest honor a Member can receive. Click here to view the virtual Bobby (Spoto) Longo Memorial Monument.
Effective immediately, the Board has adopted a Local Rule that Abnormal Course Conditions exist in all bunkers. Relief can be taken under USGA Rule 16.1c shown below. The ball does not need to be dropped. It can be placed in the bunker.
The Board has two Member at Large positions open. Members at Large are those Members seeking to assist the Board of Directors with performing their duties. The intent of Members at Large are to familiarize themselves with Director positions and their job duties so as to easily transition into a Director position in the future as recommended by the Board and voted on by the membership. Member at Large positions serve up to two years. Members interested should contact a Member of the Board.

The Tournament Committee has been trying to work out the kinks with regards to the tournament payouts in the form of gifts cards. Please be patient as it's a work in progress. If a Member places in a tournament, a gift card is earned for the course the tournament was played at. The expectation is that gift cards will be distributed the next time a tournament is played at the course the Member had previously won the gift card at.
