The Calimesa Men's Golf Club
The Senior/Super Senior Club Championship was held on August 15 and 16. Simi Ugapo shot a two day total of 145 to become the Senior Club Champion for the fourth time in last nine years. He took the title running away from Paul Christainson and John Perez by 10 shots. Greg Marskbury edged out Ron DeRenard by two shots with a two day total of 161 to become the Super Senior Club Champion. This is Greg's third title in the last five years. A great accomplishment!

The first match of the Yu-Cal Cup was played on August 23 at Yucaipa Valley Golf Club against the Yucaipa Men's Golf Club. 20 of our members participated in matches. Unfortunately, the Men's Club is way behind in points. Yucaipa has built a substantial lead (18 1/2 to 11 1/2). The second and final round will be played at Calimesa Country Club on October 18. In order to retain the Cup, we need 30 points. That means we need 18 1/2 more points. We are going to need a comeback reminiscent of the 1999 Ryder Cup. For those that have forgotten, take a stroll down memory lane by viewing the video.
If you would like to participate or be an alternate in the Yu-Cal Cup match at Calimesa Country Club on October 18, please email the club at CalimesaMensGolfClub@gmail.com. The first 20 to register will play a match and fight to retain the Cup. Click here to view the complete tournament details.
