The weather will be purr-fect....so it's to be an outdoor seating at
Jimmy's Famous American Tavern
4990 N Harbor Dr
San Diego, CA 92106
Swing past the airpoirt, stay left at Nimitz and you'll see Jimmy's on the left a 1/2 block later...!
They're expecting 20 of us, beginning at about 4. Don't let your friends down: BE THERE!
After the round, grab a beer as we'll have a special screening of Hope and Crosby's never before seen first Road movie, filmed right here at a brand new Balboa Park golf course in 1935. Nothing like a good old Saturday matinee

Noting that the Balboa course will undergo some maintenance the middle of Septameber, we will take that opportunity to honor the memory of 9/11 with an Away event.
Red, white and blue outfits welcome.
We are going to PETCO Park for Happy Hour and a little Padres Baseball. Kind of a first come first serve on this one, so contact Peter ASAP if you might like to go. We have a limited number of tickets, but we might be able to swing a few more if necessary.
Sept 5-6
3-day event: 8/20, 8/26, 8/27, overall low gross is champion, post-tournament
Sorry for the delay but I was "on the road again!"
The HH is to be at Liberty Station's The Loma Club on Truxton Road off Barnett.
4:30-whenever.
Bring whomever you want; come early, drink often, eat to your hearts content!
Bring your Scotch, wear your Kilts, but we've had a change of formats.
The new event will be the best ball of your foursome (the Hero) added together with the worst ball of your foursome (the Bum). Team prizes both gross and net, maybe even a Best Hero and Best Bum prize as well, along with the typical closest to the pins, optional gross skins, etc.
Make up your own group, or I will pair you together. Remember, you can sign up other people besides yourself, as they will be notified (and change their mind if they want).
The Women have events Tuesday and Thursday and concluded 3 days in a row wouldn't work...so, given that our event of the 12th is a 4-man Firecracker and the event of the 16th is a 2-man Alternating Shot, the 19th will now be an INDIVIDUAL EVENT.
Let me know if you're NOT interested by changing your ATTENDING to NOT ATTENDING. And if you haven't entered until now because the JOINT event isn't the kind of JOINT you wanted....sign up now for the INDIVIDUAL!
Its just a regular old individual.

That's right boys, the toughest tournament is back! One on One handicaped match play with the winner scoring the biggest payday of the YEAR!! Think of basketballs March Madness, winners get paid and move on, losers go home. Welcome to "THE DUEL IN THE PARK".
This is a handicapped event so everyone can play and be competitive reguardless of handicap index.
Entries are now OPEN for the Club Match Play Tournament which starts July 8th. This year the event will be played using a more compact schedule but we will still be able to include those that have to miss a scheduled date. Here's the tournament schedule:
The Schedule:
If you can't attend the first day (July 8th) we will try and give you a bye into the second round (if available). If you can't play on the other scheduled dates, you can reschedule to a later date. The match must be completed prior to the next scheduled round and the player that pospones the match will lose one handicap stroke for that match only. LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE A CONFLICT, WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO GET YOU INCLUDED!
Entry Fee: $25 which covers the entire event (100% payback of entry fees plus club supplement)
Pay Chart: Every WIN scores a payday, even 1st round play!
** Based on 64 entries -- 1st round byes receive advancement but don't pay since you didn't play anyone.
The Draw: Past champions will be number 1 seeds, next will come current & past club champions, after that the 2016 money list will be used to pair the rest of the field. Anyone not on the money list will be a 8 or 9 seed and play another unranked player.
Handicap: You will receive 90% of your six month low index. Players with a 16.0 or higher index will receive 95% of their index. The course handicap you receive at the start of the event will be the handicap used for the entire tournament.
Tees: All matches will be played from the BLUE TEES.
Entry Fee Payment: You can pay cash or if you have money on the books, you can use your club credits.

Pls. note: Faster players go out earlier. Slower players, out later. Exceptions are made on occasion for those who must leave the course earlier rather than later, BUT IF YOU MAKE YOUR GROUP SLOW, YOU WILL ALL BE PENALIZED. Keep up with the group in front of you.
Lots of rules for this one.
At Ram's Hill! NOT BALBOA...
Have about 25-30 who responded to my New Item.
If you're intrested and committed (I need a firm count by Wednesday morning) and your $95 by then, pretty much, too, let me know ASAP
This is (March) madness!
Back to basics: your classic scramble of the 2 man variety. What more need I say?
All playing from the WHITE TEES.
A minimum of 6 of EACH partner's tee shots must be used. Mark the holes on the scorecard provided.
As proposed by the SCGA, the low handicap of the team receives 35% of his h/c, the higher handicap recieves 15% and the 2 are added for Net Scoring purposes.
For the location of the shot (better) selected, PLACING the ball within 1 club length is permitted, NO NEARER THE HOLE, NOT OUT OF A BUNKER OR HAZARD, NOT ON TO THE GREEN from off the green.
Since this was just a regular individual to begin with, we are going to move our rained-out Keep your Better Half format over to this event. Which means, you will play all 18 holes like normal, but only the scores on your 2 best par 3's, 5 best par 4's, and 2 best par 5's will count, leaving you with a 9 hole event score (and an 18 hole postable round, which I will post).

If you choose to take a Mulligan, you MUST continue playing the result of that Mulligan. YOU MAY NOT GO BACK TO USE THE FIRST SHOT YOU WERE REPLACING. CHOOSE WISELY. Finish out the hole with the result of the Mulligan.
Remember, the Mulligan cannot be on a putt from on the green.
You may be challenged to keep up with the group in front of you, but I know you have it in you. Or else!
