This Balboa Major has moved to the weekdays, so go low, and be rewarded.
A regular individual event with a twist. You will be keeping your best 2 scores on any of the par 3's and par 5's, plus your best 5 scores on any of the par 4's to end up with a 9 hole score. A really good 9 hole score, if history is our judge. Same $20 entry, same CTP's on the par 3's (hopefully), same optional Gross Skins for an extra $20. Just more work for me to figure out the winners. You don't want to miss this fun event!
Come to this meeting, and you might find yourself on next year's Board.
Just kidding. Or am I ?
Before my time, but a day that may never be forgotten. Let's come out and make some good memories of our own!
Last meeting of the year. Come get a recap of our 2020, and a preview of what's coming in 2021. Like the US OPEN at Torrey!
This is your last chance to get into next week's Tournament of Champions, so you don't want to miss this event, even if you're already in.
If you won an event this season (or last year's T of C), then you are invited to play in this cash-rich extravaganza!
Following the Winner's Event. the bash to end all bashes!!
If you win, then you are IN. You can NOT enter this event, or I will remove you. Only I can enter you in this event, but only if you win. And Happy Birthday TW ! Better win soon!
The President's Cup is an individual 2 day tournament, with the overall low net 2 day score being crowned our 2020 Champion. We will pay Gross and Net in all the flights as usual. $30 entry fee gets you in the tournament and both days of not only CTP competitions (hopefully), but there will be day money for the day's lowest scores, as well as lots of bonus money added into the prize fund, which should equate to some handsome payouts. Also, there will be the optional Gross Skins on both days, for another $20 each day, payable the first day. You don't want to miss the Majors at Balboa!
1/4 of the field will be A players, 1/4 B, 1/4 C and you guessed it, 1/4 D determined on Wednesday the day after the sign-up window closes and announced shortly thereafter.
2 scores each hole will be used for each team.
A bit of extra $$ is intended to be paid out to help motivate you to sign-up.
Teams have been made by blind draw!
No golf, just a meeting. We'd still love to see you.
Had to move this up a week, since nobody likes playing on punched greens. A regular individual, with all the trimmings, so come and get it!
Seniors Assemble. This is the big one. Two days of battle on Balboa to determine our Senior Champion.
Last shot at getting your golf on before a meeting this year, so what are you waiting for? Everyone else has had a blast at the other events.
Our annual day of fun and frustration. Pick your 4 man squad, or let me put your group together, and play your best. Or your worst. Just remember...everyone will be the Hero on a hole, just as everyone will be the Bum on another one. Don't worry about it, just go out and have fun with your teammates.
This is the 1st Round of Matches (64 to 32 players). After today, the next rounds will be TBD
Enuf is enuf...Individuals are fine but being abused by your playing partner is....better? No, just challenging.
Jump aboard and see who han-and-eggs it better than the rest.
No golf, since we have been meeting on Zoom. Someday...
It was a super 2019 at CC of RB...let's do it again, Sam....
Our Club Championship. Played over 3 consecutive days, Friday July 31st, Saturday August 1st, and Sunday August 2nd. Only the Championship Flight will play all 3 days. All other flights will play on Saturday and Sunday only. More info as the date approaches.
Could this be our first Mid-Season Classic? Perhaps not, but let's mix it up. A regular Individual, with event entry and CTP's for your $20. Plus the optional Gross Skins for another $20. To make things interesting, pairings will be straight off the money list, so maybe you'll make some new friends.
4-man team
1 rotating player hits from the Red Tee each hole (1st, 5th , 9th, 13th, 17th) and his score counts, with his 3 partners playing from the whites and 1 of their score counts, effectively making it Better 2 Balls of 4.
The other 3 partners rotate to the Red Tee (2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th, 18th; 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th; 4th, 8th, 12, 16th).
I haven't yet decided if the progression of players hitting from the Red Tees is according to Low H/C or a random draw!!!
Stay Tuned!
Times call for a postponement...
Stay tuned.
No golf, just a meeting. But come anyway, if you like. The more the merrier.
Standard individual event to kick off our summer golf at Balboa. $20 entry gets you in the event, plus CTP's on all par 3's. An extra $20 will get you in the optional Gross Skins game. Gross and Net winners in each flight.
Due to C-19, we are postponing this til later in the summer when, hopefully, many of you will want to attend!
This USED to be where we would play our SCGA 2-man qualifing event, but they screwed that up. HOWEVER, that event still exists (but has been cancelled this year), but anyone and everyone can just partner-up and enter themselves. We may do something similar, but stay tuned. PLUS, it is my Birthday today, so if nothing else, there will be (no) BEER (at the course, after the round). And Closest to's (nope, not yet), and (optional Gross) Skins Game, if you like.
Hopefully, the last event went well. If so, let's do it again!
We have the opportunity to go to Lomas during an even better weather-promising time. Sign up soon; invite guests...the sooner the better tee times!
Both players drive, pick the best one. Both players hit again from that new spot, pick the best one. Continue this process until the ball goes in.
IF YOU CAN WALK, PLEASE DO SO: There will be players later in the round who CANNOT walk and need a cart, so help make one available for them.
NOTES:
Email a CLEAR COPY of the scorecard to berkabee@happyaccidents.net immediately after the round. Failure to do so can result in disqualification.
If a player of the team cannot finish the round, please advise me as soon as that happens and the remaining player is to play 2 balls for all remaining shots and chose the one to play from until the ball is holed, as though that his 2nd shot was that of his teammate. Modification of h/c will result.
Individual with multiple flights, low gross and net paid in each.
FRIDAY 5/8 Update:
Several Items Of Significance:
Carts (first to all ADA, then 55 and over and now all golfers) have been authorized by the County BUT THE COURSE DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE FULL STAFF TO MAKE CARTS AVAILABLE TO ALL PLAYERS. This could change but it is not likely to before Wednesday's event.
So, IF YOU ARE ABLE TO WALK, please do so.
You may want to bring a bottle of hand sanitizer.
If you are to be walking a likely to need a hand-cart, the coiurse only has 13 hand carts available so plan to bring your own.
Once you start putting, putt out.
We are going to be playing from the traps: You may lift and smooth the sand with your foot, then replace the ball within proximate distance to where it landed.
At least for this event, the maximum score you are to take on a hole is to be a Double Bogey plus the stroke(s) you get on the hole, currently known as NET DOUBLE BOGEY. When that is the best you'll do, pick up and move on; we do not want to have slow play: that will result in a suspension for a yet-to-be-determined period of time..
Pick up 2 scorecards per group, match them at the end of the round and take a picture of it and send 1 via to me at berkabee@happyaccidents.net WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF COMPLETING YOUR ROUND
Welcome to the beginning of our annual BPMGC Match Play Championship! Starting today with 64 seeded players (hopefully), the journey to this covetted title will see half the field be one and done. Future dates for finishing your next rounds of matches have been determined, so win today, then we will tell you who you play next, give you a date that the match needs to be played and/or completed by, and we will go from there.
Dates that matches need to be completed by are as follows. Second round: Sun 5/23. Sweet 16: Sun 6/13. Elite 8: Sun 6/27. Semifinals: Sun 7/11. Finals: Sun 7/25
We tried this before, and it was fun. So, we are going to have a Cinco de Mayo golf event on the 9-hole course before the Meeting. Sign up here if you want to play, then after, come to the meeting if you want to stay. Or not.
More info to follow.

It's 4/15 and no word from the city/course of a startling reopening so this event is canceled.
Should soething incredible happen to change this:
We will contact membership vis this website, Club News and Events Signup invitations the moment we hear an event is likely to be playable and I'd hope you'd sign up quickly at that point.
Stay Well.
This event will be rescheduled for a time we can do more than visually being social!
Stay tuned.
canceled.
stay tuned for Coming Events
Come and watch how your Club gets things done. BYOB/W
I hope you so the update sent yesterday: This organized Balboa event is Canceled, though individual tee times can be made at RBI if you still want to play.
Second Round. Don't enter here. Enter the First Round on the 14th.
Welcome to our 1st MAJOR of the year. The President's Cup is an individual 2 day tournament, with the overall low net 2 day score being crowned our 2020 Champion. We will pay Gross and Net in all the flights as usual. $30 entry fee gets you in the tournament and both days of not only CTP competitions, but there will be day money for the day's lowest scores, as well as lots of bonus money added into the prize fund, which should equate to some handsome payouts. Also, there will be the optional Gross Skins on both days, for another $20 each day, payable the first day. You don't want to miss the Majors at Balboa!
At the moment the course expects to be open and restrict carts to Cart Paths Only.
That certainly is subject to revision!
If we have Cart Paths Only, as hoped for, I'd still expect (and grant) withdrawal TODAY by 4 pm. PLEASE NOTIFY ME ASAP at berkabee@happyaccidents.net
If Carts are not to be made available (which I would expect to hear about around 6 am tomorrow morning), I will cancel the event; I would advise you as soon as I hear.
Stay tuned!
Are we in the Team Play playoffs? When are they punching the greens? How many guys are playing in the Prez Cup? When does Daylight Saving Time begin? All these questions, and more, will be answered TONIGHT
Figure out the title, and I'll include the CTP in your entry.
Fine, its always included. For an extra $20 you're into the completely optional, but potentially lucrative, Gross Skins Game.
FINAL PAIRINGS AND TEE TIMES ARE NOW ON-LINE.
Pretty simple. Pick any 3 clubs (something to drive with, something to hit fairway shots with, and one of your wedges?) and your putter, dig out your little carry bag, fill it with some tees and golf balls, and lets go enjoy this always fun day of the season.
Any more than 3 clubs and a putter in your bag will result in a disqualification.
We're playing it down.
Late arrival at First Tee will result in 2 stroke penalty: the Pro SHop will be advising me of violators.
Slow play will be penalized. Put your Finish Time on your card: upper right corner.
5th Flight: Pick up after you cannot achieve less that 10 and enter 10 on your scorecard and move on. This is a Pace of Play assist.
This is NOT a signup to play in this event! This is only for information, and so our Captain, Gregg Aubrey, can gauge interest, so he can reach out to you.
Find a partner and lets break some eggs! A two man scramble is our first fun event of the year. $20 entry will still get you into the event and the CTP competition on all par 3's. No Gross Skins, BUT, in spite of the fact that all our team events are net only, I will be paying out an overall low gross team, so my go-low guys feel the love!

Our annual 2-man Pinehurst. You know the routine...or I'll remind you, if you need it.
Pick a partner or I'll match you up with a likely candidate.
Go for it!
Welcome to 2020 my Weekend Warriors! Our first event this season is an individual. $20 gets you in the event and the CTP competition on each par 3. Another $20 gets you into the completely optional, but potentially lucrative, Gross Skins Game.

It's a New Year but the rewards are going to be at least as great as the year just ending/ended.
So grab your fingers and peck your way into those "bringing it" (and a possible hangover) for the Beginning of the Year Event, the day after our Annual Dinner!
Our Annual Dinner celebration of the Men’s Club is to be held Tuesday, January 14. The original "sign-up until date" was 12/31/19. We have several openings before reaching 100 so I am extending the date for a week, or until we reach 100 sign-ups.
Given the constraints of restaurant accessibility, room size and food types, it is to be at The Old Spaghetti Factory again.?
The cost from this point forward is $40, WHICH CAN BE PAID VIA CLUB CREDITS or VENMOor cash at the door (of $45):
Please advise your choice of entree if you have not yet done so:
fyi: Entrees come with a salad and vanilla ice cream for desert.
The bar will be open at 5pm; raffle tickets for several Away Event golf course 4-somes and nearly a dozen Gift certificates at local restaurants as well as cash will be available for purchase from 5pm until dinner at 6 pm.
If attending, select your entree choice and MAKE ARRANGEMENTS to pay the appropriate amount for your dinner, as above.
