- Just a reminder that when signing up for a tournament, please contact Tournament Chairman, Doug Owens (909-649-1963 / ddowens929@gmail.com) by calling, texting or sending an email. Posting a comment on Facebook about playing on Sunday won't get it done. One Member telling another Member doesn't always work either. When Doug receives a phone call, text or email, he will respond to confirm he's received it. If no confirmation is received, please follow up with another phone call, text or email.
- Last year The Calimesa Men's Golf Club and Yucaipa Valley Men's Golf Club played two combined tournaments. Due to the success of the combined tournaments, there will be two in 2019. The first combined tournament will be on April 14 at Yucaipa Valley Golf Club. The second will be on September 8 at Moronog Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon.
- For those that didn't know, non-Members are always welcome to play as guests during tournaments. They cannot participate in the tournament or optional skins game but can be paired with your group. Family members, friends, and out of town guests are welcome. Anyone who may be interested in joining our Club is encouraged to come play along during a tournament to see what our Club is all about. When signing up, just let Tournament Chairman, Doug Owens, know there's a guest that wants to play.
