Jeff Thomas - Life Celebration

Saturday, March 7th

4:00-7:00 PM 

As many of our members may know, we lost a true gentleman of the game this past weekend when Jeff Thomas passed after a strong fight with cancer.  It is without a doubt that Jeff loved to play the game of golf, had a great pride in his membership at his Club & is someone who affected many of our members with his positive attitude & spirit for life.  His family will hold a celebration of his life this upcoming weekend & I would like to encourage any of our members to come out to pay respect to his family as well as friends.

Great Shot!

I would like to congratulate Mr. Mike Potter for hitting the perfect shot while on a golf trip in southern California.  Mike recorded his 2nd career ace by holing a 141 yard shot using an 8 iron at Encinitas Ranch Golf Course.  Congratulations!

Icebreaker Scramble

Sunday, March 15th @ 9:00 AM

Entry Fee - $55 per player

Sign-up your favorite foursome for the (Hopefully) first tournament of the year.  Members will compete in a scramble format awarding both gross & net scores, skills challenge winners and then conclude the event with an excellent BBQ lunch prepared by our culinary staff.  Each team member will be required to count a par 3 & a par 5 tee shot so there is some team strategy needed while playing.  Please contact the Golf Shop if you would like to sign up & guest are WELCOME!

Greens & Grounds Committee Note:

1. Replace your divots. 

2. Repair your pitch marks on the putting surface.

3. Please play from the respected tee markers set by our grounds staff.  The daily rotation of the tees not only provides a different challenge/perspective of playing a hole but most importantly to allow for turf relief or growth of certain tee positions.  Playing from closed tee's is not permitted.

Upcoming Events:

1. Ladies "Tee-Off" Clinic & Social - Thursday, March 26th beginning @ 5:00 PM.

2. Spring Demo Day - Friday, March 27th, 3:00-7:00 PM.

3. OMGA Two-man Shamble - Saturday, March 28th, 8:30 AM.
