Gentlemen
Golfers &
Hackers,
Finished
the game, got in the
car, read outside
temperature 102 F.
& I know the
humidity is way up
there.
No wonder! Today
was a miserable day
to play golf.
Once more the
course is in great
shape, greens good
& running fast,
but come on!
It was HOT
& HUMID!
But Gerry
Quealy came
in to test his bum
knee & shot a
nice round without
further injury.
Only 19 of us played
- but the tough
ones!
Well,
tough is tough, but Skip
Davis
brought his son Chip
Davis to
play today (the
Great Oak High golf
team player no
less). And
to even things out
he broke poor Chip's
toe first! At
least that's how I
heard it. Of
course Skip claims
it was an accident -
you know those
clumsy teenagers.
But given a
bad right foot, Chip
really puts it down
the road! Very
enjoyable company,
And lots of laughs.
Glad to have him
here, hope we could
get a few more High
School players
during the Summer.
Gross
Winners
Mateo
Miller once
again with a 76 wins
Gross for $25.
Net
Winners
Jim
Brown &
Bob Antol
both shot 71 Net,
which Bob won in a
cardoff, $25 prize.
Poor
Jim has to settle
for $15 for 2nd.
3rd
Net (which also got
Gross 2nd) goes to Bill
Christopher
with a Net 72 ($10)
and
Al
Garcia
settles in for the
4th place for $5.
KP's
at $5 each go to:
Mateo
Miller for
4th hole
John
Hasch for
8th hole
Bob
Antol for
the 12th hole
Rod
Sweeeeeeet
for the 17th.
Another
couple of notes:
Nathan Troutman,
our erstwhile
(meaning he's a good
guy) Assistant Pro, competed
in the SCPGA
Assistant
Championship, 36
holes at Soboba
Springs, & did
well, tying for
37th. Congrats
for good effort
Nathan, and for
upholding the
reputation of
Redhawk!
John
Chin, who
along with Grampa Bong
Chin has joined
us to play many
times this
year, competed in
the Nationwide Tour
Utah Championship
Tournament. He
tied for 30th place.
No surprise that he
ranked 8th in
driving distance -
clearly he is LONG.
Congratulations
John, we're rooting
for you!
Advance
Notice for
the world famous Marguerita
Cup. OK,
maybe just famous in
Temecula, it is the
competition along
Marguerita Road, so
is between Redhawk
& Temeku Hills.
But it is important,
if just for the
Toucan Trophy - the
ugliest trophy in
high level golf!!!.
Anyhow, it will be
conducted September
1 (Thursday) at
Temeku and September
8 at Redhawk.
Bob Antol is working
the Redhawk team of
12.
So far we have 4
teams for the Aug 16
Best Ball:
Sweet &
Schoonmaker, JB
& Alan dela S,
Antol & Vannoy,
Al Garcia &
Keith Denver.
Good time to pair up
with a buddy or send
me an email to be on
the "looking
for a partner"
list.
See you next week
for regular golf.

26th
Gentlemen
Golfers of Redhawk,
We finally finished
the Club Championship!
HooRay. Complete
results for the 2 day
competition are at the
bottom of this email.
First of all, thanks
to our new President, Tai
Kreider, for
setting out all the
tee markers & KP
markers before the
round. REALLY
early morning.
Second, thanks to our
Secretary Bob
Antol for
doing all the
accounting/score-keeping,
and photography.
And getting the first
pitcher of beer, I
think! Great job
on all counts..
Finally, glad
everybody showed up
& got off all
right. Bob
was our starter today,
and he took over
comfortably & got
us all off on time,
except for Al
Garcia, who claims
his wife told him
the wrong tee time;
likely story, but then
Al is a great story
teller!
Now, the Club
Championship Results:
Gross -
Our CHAMPION is Mateo
Miller with 2
days at 76 &
77, total of 153.
Nice consistency &
nice scores Mateo.
Congratulations. Mateo
is both Club Champ
& with Gerry
Quealy the
Team Champ. He
will be a fine
representative of the
Club at SCGA
competitions.
Net -
Our NET CHAMPION is Rod
Sweet with a
2 day total of 141.
Until today Rod was
the Gross Champ, &
for this year the Net.
Maybe next year we'll
call this the Rod
Sweet memorial
tournament.
Congratulations
Gentlemen. Both
received a really nice
trophy that Tai
arranged for us.
I will publish photos
of the winners &
their trophies as soon
as I can.
In addition to the
Club Championship, we
had a
Regular Competition
today, with the
following results for
the 25 competitors:
Gross -
Mateo Miller
with his 77 takes 1st,
& award of $25.
2nd place gross goes
to Rod
Sweet
with an 80 for an
award of $10.
However, it got
complicated; Alan
de la Sierra
shot a 79; however he
took Net 71 to tie Rod
Sweet for Net
1st. Cardoff
ensues for the Net
award, which goes to
Alan on the strength
of a better back 9.
Net
-
The explanation above,
Alan de la
Sierra with
Net 71 gets 1st Net
& award of $25.
2nd Net goes to Skip
Davis with a
net 72 - Skip seems to
get better every week
- and gets award of
$15.
Bob Antol,
Keith Denver,
& Tai
Kreider had
identical Net 73's, so
they get to share $15
at $5 apiece.
KP's
$7.50 each
4th hole Alan
dela Sierra
8th hole Jim
Cherrington
12th hole Mateo
Miller
17th hole Tai
Kreider
The Club Championship
has been fun, but a
lot of extra effort.
I at least will be
glad to get back to
just playing golf.
Starting next week!
Whoopee!

Jul
19th
Gentlemen,
Some
of you miserable
so&so�s
played really well. Turkeys. I�m
going to watch the Tour
De France and pretend
today never happened.
Only good thing
going was the beer &
lunch.
And the company
of course.
And the course
condition.
And everybody
showed up & got off
on time with no hassles.
OK, it was a
pretty good day except
for us yo-yos who
can�t play golf
worth a hoot.
Good
News: Tai
Kreider is always
volunteering to do
something for us.
He & Bob
Antol, our past two
tournament directors,
are major support
entities for the club
all the time.
Anyhow, today Tai
set all the tee markers
before the round.
Bad News:
Tai finished
setting the tees 1
minute before his tee
time, resulting in a 10
on the 1st
hole.
Tai is always
volunteering for some
good duty, and is much
appreciated; that is by
everybody except his
golf game.
Good/Bad News:
Ron
Frederick OFFICIALLY
tendered his resignation
as President, after a
year and a half.
We will miss him
more than many people
know.
Ron has been a
fantastic leader, always
encouraging the rest of
us, always in the
forefront of
�what�s
next�, always the
instigator of changes
that need to be made.
Good
News:
Tai will take
over as President.
Now we all have
to salute & call him
�SIR�.
Or at least pay
attention when he runs
the Board Meetings.
As
we all should know,
today was round 1 of the
club Championship.
However, in
addition it was a
tournament on its own.
Here are the
results for
today�s
tournament:
Gross Results
1st
Place goes to Mateo
Miller (getting to
be a habit!), 76, gets
$30 award.
2nd
Place goes to Ray
Farmer, 78, award of
$10
Net Results
1st
Place goes to Neil
Miller
(what�s with
Miller�s?),
81/68, award $30
2nd
& 3rd
Place was a tie with Rod
Sweet, 79/70, and Dale
Ferguson, 82/70,
each get award of
$17.50..
4th
Place goes to Bob
Antol, 86/71, award
of $5
KP�s
Tai
may not be able to score
today, but he sure can
hit par 3�s
close!
4th
hole AND 8th
hole closest was Tai
Kreider
$15
12th
hole award to Tom
Hentila $7.50
17th
hole award to Charles
Vannoy $7.50
I
will send out pairings
for next week later.
And remember,
even if you do NOT
choose to compete in the
club championship you
CAN come & compete
for the regular prizes,
and I hope you will!
I need somebody
in the last group with
me, for moral support. Mind,
Martin
Pharis will help
� maybe the only
guy who did worse than
me � sorry to
mention that Martin (ha
ha).
Finally, to our 2
wounded warriors Gerry
Quealy & Randy
Murdoch, Ray
Farmer says you
guys don't know about
knees, not yet!
Any case, all the best
with repairs/rehabs,
hope to see you back in
the saddle real soon.
Missed you both today.
Jul 12th
Gentlemen,
Great weather, and 29
players out today.
Biggest turnout in a while
- nice to see all the
smiling faces.
But NOBODY had a bigger smile
than Dale Ferguson.
Dale has been barely
justifying his 14
handicap, but today he shot
a 79! At the
end of his round he warned
his playing partners then
let out a major WAR
WHOOP to celebrate. Great
Going Dale.
RESULTS
Gross 1st, Mateo
Miller & Bill
Christopher,
playing together, both
shot 78. Mateo won
the cardoff, gets top
place for $30, poor Bill
has to settle for 2nd
& $15.
Net 1st no question goes
to Dale Ferguson
with a net 65. Gets
$30. And a bunch of
congratulations.
Net 2nd to Ray
Carter who shot
a dandy 66. Would
have been 1st any other
day. Award of $20
Net 3rd to Charles
Vannoy, 70 for
$15
Net 4th to Alan de
la Sierra, 71 for
$10
Closest to Pins get $7.50
each;
4th hole, Alan de
la Sierra
8th hole, Jeff
Nelson
12th hole, Dale
Ferguson
17th hole, Martin
Pharis
OK, everybody is warmed up
for the club championship.
More info on that later,
but see you for round 1
next week.
Jul 5th
Gentlemen Golfers,
One Hot Day! My car
thermometer said 99 F when I
left the course.
Couple guys looked like the
heat beat them. Maybe
that's why only 18 members
played today, plus one
guest.
Amazing thing. The
threesome of Carlos
Cuero, Skip
Davis & Larry
Sheldrup finished
in 3 Hours 55 Minutes!
Definitely a record for the
club since I've been here.
Good Job. But don't expect
any money for it! Had
the advantage of starting
1A. But the slowest
folks today finished in 4
Hours 35 Minutes, and that
was starting from the 16th.
We used to think even that
was really good. Not
only are handicaps coming
down, but completion times
as well.
Results as follows:
Gross - Alan
delaSierra shot a
79, which was the best of
the lot today. And
danged good for a fella with
an 8 handicap! Low
turnout means he gets $20
for it. Mateo
Miller shot an 82,
for which he gets our
heartfelt condolences and
not much else for 2nd Gross
- sorry Mateo.
Net - Bruce Worley,
on the other hand, shot
'lights out' with a
phenomenal 86 for net 68.
Great round Bruce. I
hear around the table that
he and Rod
Sweet had some bets
going, and a whole bunch of
trash-talk, and Bruce
cleaned up. Net 1st gets
$20.
And 2nd Gross goes to our
long-time competitor Colonel
Ray Carter with a
91 for net 72. First
time for a while - good
going Ray. Prize of
$10.
We had to split Net 3rd
& 4th (74's) so I offer
a sort of consolation prize of
$5 to Martin Pharis
and Tom Crouch.
Pretty good round guys.
Closest-to-Pins, for award
of $7.50 each
4th hole Jim Brown
8th hole Mateo
Miller
12th hole Rod Sweet
17th hole Rod Sweet
The Sweet One got 2 KP's
& still got his clock
cleaned by Worley!
What a day.
See you next week, for the
last round before the Club
Championship. One
requirement for club champ
is that he must have played
4 tournament rounds in 2011
before the competition.
So if you have 3, get with
it! (other
requirements at the men's
club web site: http://www.redhawkmensclub.com/ )
June
28, 2011
Gentlemen
Golfers of Redhawk,
We
had 25 people today (1 guest)
to enjoy a nice summer day
& great course conditions.
Plus Steve
Adamiak our Director
of Instruction
(that�s head pro to you
home-gamers), who came out
& played some with several
groups.
He was with our group
when I made a natural birdie
on 9, and one group after us,
with Steve in that group
by now, that turkey Rod
Sweet made a bird on top
of me!
You KNOW a Net 2 on #9
is ALWAYS worth a skin.
Not today.
Maybe Steve caused it
all� (By the way,
want some fine instruction,
email Steve at the address in
the CC box to set it up).
Bob
Nissen had a dandy day,
hitting 94 with a 25 handicap.
But Randy
Murdoch (8 handicap) &
Mike
Baer (+1 handicap) also
had great days.
So here we are with
good results for folks from a
plus 1 to 25. I think
that�s a definition of
success for the club.
And 5 guys under net
par.
And all of us finished
in respectable time; the first
group in barely over 4 hours,
the last was in before 1PM.
Mike & Randy must
have really pushed each other,
playing in the same pairing.
What
a day for your flaky
Tournament Director.
First hole, outa-the-box,
and I throw a tee ball OB.
Dang.
So I re-tee, and throw
THAT one OB.
Double Dang.
So I am finally in the
fairway laying 5.
What now?
I put a fairway shot
OB!
Let me just say that I
made a really good putt to
save my 13.
It was a good 13
� I take it back, there
is no such thing as a good 13.
But you knew that..
So,
here are the exciting results:
Gross
1st, Mike
Baer, with a 74 gets $25
prize.
Gross
2nd, Jim
�JD� Davidson
with 77 gets $10.
Net
1st was Randy
Murdoch with 76/68 for $25
prize.
Net
2nd was Bob
Nissen with 94/69 for $15.
Net
3rd is a 3 way tie
between Jim
Brown, Skip
Davis, and Alan
Pruess.
Their
�consolation
prize� is $5 each.
All
KP�s are worth $7.50
each today.
KP
4th hole is Ken
Lonie, a 22 handicap.
KP
8th hole is Randy
Murdoch, no surpise there!
KP
12th hole is Carlos
Cuero, a 30 handicap - and
as you know my Hero!
KP
17th hole is Bob
Nissen, our 25 handicap 2nd
place guy!
I
think NOBODY can claim
that only the low handicappers
get the KP awards! Good
going on the part of the 20+
guys - you done yourself
proud...
By the way I can't help but
notice that Vannoy
has come up with skins like
every week! I'm carrying
around $29 that he hasn't even
bothered to pick up! Oh,
Sheldrup gets
his share (again today), &
Mateo &others.
But I think Van gets way more
than his share. Somebody
should check him for
performance-enhancements.
A great
day, again.
Let�s do it
again next week!

Hey
Guys,
This
had to be one of the most fun
monthly tournaments yet.
If maybe not the easiest
one for some of us to get the
score right.
Or other difficulties.
Like �
oh never mind.
Some
of us had a great score.
In fact, TWO teams shot
64.
That�s 8 under par
for you arithmetically
challenged types � you
know who you are, & others
know by looking at the score
cards!
But I have to admit that
it got a little complicated.
8
UNDER.
Wow.
Obvious that the greens
were receptive & fast &
true.
Though my ball never
noticed.
Results:
The
Winners, team of Mateo
Miller & Gerry
Quealy, with a 64 and 31 on
the back 9.
This team has the option
to be Redhawk�s
representative to the SCGA
4-ball tournament as previously
discussed.
Big Hand to Mateo &
Gerry � well done.
You get a prize of $120
for the team.
2nd
place, also with a dandy 64 and
33 on the back 9, the Miller
Boys, Neil
Miller
& Bill
Miller.
Should the 1st
team decide to not go to SCGA
then these folks will get the
nod.
Award of $60 for the
team.
3rd,
4th & 5th
place are achieved by teams with
an identical score of 67.
We don�t card-off
for other than 1st
place (see Men�s Club
Rules at the web site http://www.redhawkmensclub.com/news.htm.
).
Therefore these fine
folks get �honorable
mention� and $30 each:
Team
of Dean
Hellweg &�Van�
Vannoy
Team
Bob
Antol & Rod
Sweet
Team
Skip
Davis & Bruce
Worley
Congratulations to all the
winners, ALL under par.
Good Golf Gentlemen!
Next
week regular golf..
See you then.
June
14th Results
Gentlemen,
The
big news for the June 14
tournament is Geno
Ketelsleger PLAYED.
Wow is an understatement!
Geno is in a
rehabilitation program, and one
part of the program is
apparently to get more outdoor
exercise.
He is working up to his
old standard of play, but he is
out there and what a pleasure to
have him there. GO
GENO!
My
thanks to Tai
Kreider for handling the
tournament while Carlos
Cuero & I went to Primm,
where Carlos was the hero.
More on that later.
And good to see that Randy
Murdoch managed to tear
himself away from his Hawaiian
vacation mind set.
With
all the non-Redhawk stuff going
on we had a turnout of 15
players & 2 guests.
With the limited turnout
we eliminated the KP�s
this week, put all the money in
the score prizes, which are as
follows:
Jim
�JD� Davidson shot
a fine 74 for a prize of $20
Mateo
Miller close behind with a 77
for $12
Gerry
Quealy
tied Mateo in gross but
got a Net of 70 for 1st
place & $20
Randy
Murdoch, with Hawaii off his
mind made a Net 71 for 2nd
& $13
Dale
Ferguson came through with Net
73 for 3rd & $10
On
to next week�s Presidents
Cup, 2 Man Team Best Ball.
At
the moment we have 3 teams and 2
fellas who want to be teamed.
Fine so far, but it would
be nice to have a few more teams
� just need to have an
index of 18.5 or less and a
willingness to play the October
3 & 4 Tournament in Irvine
and one qualifying tournament
closer to home on a Monday or
Tuesday August 29 or 30.
Let me know your
willingness to play &
we�ll pair you.
Lots of fine members that
could proudly represent the
Club.
However, team or no, show
up next week for regular golf as
well.
Should be good weather
& great course conditions.
See
you then.

Redhawk
Golfers,
The
day started before we left the cart
area.
Our course manager gave us
the sad for
us news that he was leaving Redhawk.
After some 9 or so years
being our buddy at Temeku and
Redhawk, Tony Quealy has decided to leave the Redhawk paradise in order to
work at a winery in
San Mateo
.
Can you imagine that choice!
From fairways to fine wine.
Handicaps to Cabernets.
Tony has been a real friend
to the Mens Club these several
years, and will be sorely missed.
Gotta wish him all the best.
If you would like to leave a
personal message give him an email
at tquealy@cscgolfmanagement.com.
Or a personal howdy over the
next week or so. Fortunately
his dear father our member Gerry
Quealy will remain
in paradise.
While
Tony will be missed, he is leaving
us a very fine replacement in Drew Cook (dcook@cscgolfmanagement.com).
While were at it, we should
recognize the fellas we see in the
shop most every week, including Dean
Hellweg (Assistant Manager &
a club member, and the fella who
prepares all our scrip prizes), Mike
Baer (a club member & big
bomber with the driver), Allen
Batty (yeah, a club member as
well!), Nathan
Troutman (dang good golfer as
well as teacher), Mateo Miller (another regular club player) and Isaac Morgan. We are lucky to have such a fine staff to work with.
Thanks Guys� I'm sure I've missed some nice guys, for which I apologize, but
I'm old & that's as good as my
memory can do.
Other
than our start, we had one fine if
slightly windy day.
22 competitors came out &
brought 2 guests.
And the last group finished
in a bit under 5 hours.
Greens remain in very nice
shape, good speed but receptive.
A few of the fairways are
being verti-cut (or whatever you
call it) but that is no big deal.
Altogether another very good
day.
And this is a day after the
holiday where some 270 (?) golfers
came out.
We
welcome one new player today, Jeff
Okun.
Hope to see you a lot
Jeff.
As
to results, this was too danged
complicated;
Gross

Ron Frederick,
Bill
Miller, & Alan
delaSierra shot identical 78�s.
Alan got the net award, so
Ron & Bill tied, so there was a �card off�
as provided in the club rules (see
our web site at redhawkmensclub.com).
Ron won the card off so Bill
gets 2nd.
Ron gets $25, Bill gets $15.

Alan delaSierra
blew us out with a fine 69 net ($25

Results
Gentlemen,
One
fine day for golf.
Great weather.
Course in very nice shape.
The monthly tournament (Red,
White & Blue) went off with only
a few hitches.
First group out finished in
4:15. Amazing how little
difference the varying tees seem to
make! At least for me, I could
screw up from ANYWHERE.
Before
going into the winners for today,
let me once more make the suggestion
that any member who has not done it,
visit the web site.
There really is a lot of info
there. See the site at http://www.redhawkmensclub.com/.
In
response to a question today, the
prize amount is different for the
monthly tournaments as detailed at
the web site.
In accordance with the policy
established by the Board of
Directors, the monthly tournaments
have a prize fee of $10 versus $5
for the regular tournaments, and the
awards given out are the sum of the
prize fee plus a bit from the
general fund, currently about $50.
So the total prize fund for
this month was 22 players times $10
plus $50 from the general fund or
$270.
So that�s where the money comes from. The
distribution of prize money is way
more complicated, but again there is
a philosophy on the web site.
Who
are these "Board of
Directors"?? Could be
YOU. In a few months the Board
of Directors will be once again up
for election; consider your interest
& attitude.
Volunteers always needed!
See the various offices at the web
site. (See how I brought in another
reference to the web site?
Sneaky, huh)

Gentlemen
Golfers of Redhawk,
This
was one lousy day for golf!
As a result only 12 of us
stalwart individuals showed up.
Stalwart is old English for
DUMB. What
else can you call people who play in
the rain in California.
One group off of 1st,
18th, & 17th.
Shot the worst scores we ever
had. Finished
well wet.
And some of us expect to do
it again tomorrow at Temeku.
But
there were a lot of record-making
happenings today.
Here are what I think are the
firsts for this outing:
·
Smallest group of
players ever (only 12 plus a guest
who left by the 9th
hole).
·
Highest winning net
score (77 by Jim
Cherrington).
At least a record as far as I
know.
·
Largest number of
skins; 10.
Count ‘em, 10.
Never saw the likes.
$5 each skin.
Hardly worth the effort.
Except maybe for those
low-life’s who got 2 skins (Larry,
Tai, & Van).
·
Highest winning gross
score ever (85 by John
Hasch).
·
Quietest Cantina
after the round – we could
actually hear everybody!
With several folks off to
Temeku for the par 3 Member-Guest,
we had like 5 people in the bar.
·
All the KP’s came
from the same group (2 to your TD,
1 to Carlos,
1 to Tai,
17th hole starting
group.
And we remembered to pick up
all the tee markers…)
It
was wet enough that some of the
paper came off the KP markers, all the
markers were nearly too wet to
write on, the score cards were
soaked so you could hardly put down
a score, the cart seats were wet
after the first 3 holes, Tai grew 2
inches from the accumulation of wet
grass on his shoes – in short it
was just like Spring-time in
Washington!
But despite all the wet &
weird, it was a good time.
Just hope we don’t have to
repeat the weather again soon.
Hitting a rescue club from
very wet very long rough – ugh!
This is California – where
the Governor has a love-child.
Not supposed to rain!
With
only 12 players, total prizes only
$60, here’s the results:
Gross
1st place to John
Hasch, 85.
Earns $20.
Net
1st place;
Jim Cherrington, 77.
Earns $20
Closest

Jim
Schoonmaker on 4th
& 12th holes, $10
Tai
Kreider on the 8th
hole, $5
Carlos
Cuero on the 17th
hole, $5
Here’s
hoping that the rest of our Summer
is not as wet as today.
See you next week – and not
just you Stalwart types!
Gonna be the Red, White &
Blue tournament.
Nice dry fun.

10th Results
Gentlemen,
Great
Day for Golf.
After starting cool it warmed
up to perfection.
For some reason, I have no idea
what, we were really a short gang
today.
Well, actually I know some of
the reasons; injury, vacations,
illnesses, Mother’s Day, and
probably a bunch of other reasons.
But no matter, we valiant few
who played had a great time.
Not much for scoring, with few
exceptions, but a great time.
Congratulations
to us all for the pace of play.
Group 1A finished in 4 hours 15
minutes.
The last group finished in 4 ½
hours.
Sure beats the heck out of the
old 5 hour rounds that used to be
routine.
As mentioned in the pre-round
letter, the carts left the parking
area at 7:50 AM, we teed at 8AM, &
we were eating and/or drinking by
12:15.
Neil
Miller & Bob
Antol won ALL the skins for $35
each.
Only 2 skins.
Carlos
beat me out for my only chance!
Turkey! (You can say the same
of me, it’s expected).
Lee
Loudenbach was in today after the
round.
He tells us he is leaving for
Thailand, to be gone for probably a
year or more.
We’ll miss you Lee, and wish
you the best.
With
only 16 players the prize pool is an
anemic $80.
So, prizes are pretty limited;
but then the typical level of play,
except for Quealy, Pharis &
Christopher, was pretty limited!

Gentlemen
Golfers of Redhawk,
What
a day!
Planned on 25 players, got 30.
Great turnout!
Hope everybody had a good time.
A
big welcome to several new players: I
had the pleasure of playing with Chad
Dodd, recently from Georgia �
he was looking good for 2 KP�s
until Bill
Christopher came along!.
Bill
Christoff played with us for the
first time.
Mateo
Miller made a rare appearance with
us, as did Biagio.
Scott
Cunningham, Bob
Nissen, and Tom
Crouch are becoming pretty regular
� a good thing.
For
some reason, the greens got hot and
fast, and then they were carefully
ROLLED by our magnificent ground crew.
Dang they were fast.
But they still were soft enough
to hold chips.
Best greens in a while.
Kudos to Superintendent John
Beggan & crew.
Keep it UP dude.

I
think our pace of play was pretty good
this week, though I forgot to look at
the clock.
Once
more I really appreciate notice of your
intent to play by Sunday before the
Tuesday tournament.
I have family commitments on
Monday evening so if I don�t get
notice by Sunday it is not possible to
make up personalized score cards or
pairing sheets.
Later entrants will be assigned
to whichever group has openings.
But whatever, notice or no
notice, come on out and play!
Hope to see all this good
tournout next Tuesday as well.

Gentlemen
Golfers of Redhawk,
Today
we had Grackles (like noisy black-birds
who fly with their tail vertical instead
of horizontal), Pileated Woodpeckers,
Rufus Hummingbirds, and a pair of Red-tail
hawks on the 12th.
Good day for birdwatchers.
And for those who like bullfrogs
croaking we have the ponds at the 10th
& 13th.
Also another beautiful day,
moderate & sunny, course in great
shape, greens rolling great, & soft
enough to hold a 4 iron.
21 of us enjoyed it a bunch
� well maybe 19 enjoyed it,
excluding Hellweg
& Murdoch
who X�d out even with pretty good
scores.

as follows:
Gross
1st Ron
Frederick (Mr. President) with 78 for

Followed closely by Dan

Net 1st

Net 2nd/3rd

Bob
Antol on 12th, REALLY
close, for $5
Ron
Frederick on 17th, for $5.
But
I don�t care what you guys think,
the BEST shot of the day was yours truly
on #3, with a tee ball that went to 70
yards! Right
of the pond, short grass, a John Chin kind
of shot!
OK, I had a little assistance from
the cart path, and I�ll grudgingly
admit that I was aiming a little left of
where it went, but come on � to 70
yards on a par 4 with a pond!
For a guy who struggles to hit 200
yard tee balls, I will remember this shot
for a really long time.
With Tom
Crouch & Dean
Hellweg for witnesses.
OK, I�ll quit bragging now.
Begrudgingly
April

Gentlemen
Golfers,
Good
News � after the course people pushed
and pushed (Bob is a good pusher), the 1A
Group finished in 4 hours 25 minutes.
I think this may be some kind of
record for the Club.
Didn�t seem like it was
particularly rushed at that.
Bad News � the last group was
an hour later. But it IS a long drive
to 16.
Big
welcome back to Randy
Murdoch, after laying off for a while,
and his guest Dale
Bennet who used to be a member.
And Bill
Miller after a winter of skiing �
somebody�s gotta live the good life!
And Relatively new folks KB,
Tom
Crouch, and Bob
Nissen � good to have you all.
Hope to see you guys regularly.
Seemed
like a nice day, the course was just a
little rough in the rough due to plugging
and limited mowing, but everything else was
great shape. Even had the driving range on
the grass and all the putting/chipping areas
available.
Despite that, and 4 fellas under net
par, a lot of us played like fish.
Oh well, it was a nice day out.
Here�s
the exciting results with only 21 players in
the competition:

Tai

Funny
how the KP awards seem to go to the guys
with the good scores for the day.
?Some correlation there you suppose?
Carlos
Cuero decided NOT to do skins �
29 handicaps never win � and would
have won with a great 2 on #17.
After putting in his $5 dang near
every other week, there is no justice..
Poor old Carlos!
Poor
Bob
Antol limped on the course, then limped
off. Hurting
so bad he didn�t stay to drink beer
or flirt with Lynne.
Lee
Loudenback came in to flirt with Lynne
even though he didn�t play �
got a good attitude that fella.
Of course Tai
Kreider, while amped up on good drugs
for his arthritis, proceeded to shoot lights
out and whomp us all net.
Beginning to sound like our neighbor
to the north with all the �weak, lame
& lazy�.
And you can tell the guys at Temeku I
called them that � well, maybe not,
with so many of us not doing any better.
And besides, the fine gentlemen at
Temeku have invited us to participate in
their day at Journey, which Bob Antol is
coordinating � need to get him a
check or $50 coin by next Tuesday.
By
the way, next week is the �Devil
Ball� tournament.
We�ll pair up with 4 man teams
balanced by handicaps.
Pairings will be done at the course
depending on who shows up.
This will be one of those
�wild ones� and should be a
lot of fun.
I would still appreciate a heads-up
for who will show just so I can tell the
course people how many to expect.
Details will be sent out later in the
week.

Gentlemen
Golfers of Redhawk,
Yes
it WAS an interesting experiment.
Playing in Flights.
On Monday night the flights had the
same number of folks in each, but by Tuesday
morning things changed a bit so we had
slightly more Cats of the 22 players.
First,
the results:
Turkey
#1 of 7 turkeys, handicaps of 3 to 8,
was Gerry
Quealy, net 75
Turkey
#2 was John
Arnold, net 77
Cat
#1 of 9 Cats, handicaps of 9 to 16, was
Bob
Antol, net
66
Cat
#2 was Jim
Brown, net
67
Top
Dog of 6 Dogs, handicaps 17 to 29, was Jim
Peery, net 74
Dog
#2 was Dick
Mathey, net 76
As
you can see, Bob
Antol & Jim Brown played Fantastic!
Out of their Minds!
I can�t help it: Cats
Rule!
Maybe that�s going too far.
And Gerry
Quealy reported that he took personal
affront to being a Turkey � even though
he was #1 Turkey today.
Funny, nobody complained about being
Cats & Dogs..
What�s UP with That?
Anyhow,
looking to compare Flight competition to our
regular way of play:
Gross
1 would have been Jim Brown 78, Gross 2
John Arnold 80,
Net
1 Bob Antol 66, Net 2 Jim Brown 67 (Gross
instead), Net 3 Bong Chin 71, Net 4 Larry
Sheldrup 74.
Bong
Chin & Larry lost out in this context, but
Jim Peery & Dick Mathey gained.
The rest remained pretty much the same.
One of the purposes of this experiment
was to see if it gave the higher handicap
players any advantage, and maybe that is the
case; Peery with a 17 handicap is on the top
of that Dog Flight, and Mathey with a 25 is
not, so it seems we spread out the prizes,
today at least.
Another
purpose was to find out if the top players
would enjoy playing from the Blue Tees; they
report they liked it a lot, just were�nt
used to it!
.Anyhow,
for awards, each of the Flight winners will
get $20, each Flight 2nd gets $10,
each KP $5.
Oh Yeah � KP�s
#4
was JD
#8
was Jim Brown
#12
was Jim Brown
#17
was Jim Peery
Notice
one Turkey (JD), one Cat (Brown twice), and
one Dog (Peery).
Sounds pretty balanced to me, even
though the Turkeys were playing Blue and the
rest of us Whites. And poor Carlos
Cuero � he was Closest To Pin on
#17 until Perry came along and whomped him.
Skins
were won by Bob
Antol (Cat), Alan
delaSierra (Cat), Geno
Ketelsleger (Turkey), and Jim
Peery (Dog).
Long story from JD about Geno�s
skin by making some amazing chip on #13.
Thanks
Jim
Brown for taking so many prizes - but on
the other hand bringing in replacements for
the tee markers we somehow managed to lose
(which JB made up in the first place).
Weather
was great, turnout not so much, greens were
outstanding, fairways lush, and the rough
absolutely sucked!
And those of us who found ourselves in
the rough way too much suffered.
Just like playing with the Pros.
New
players Joe
Dailey and Mark
Alexander; welcome to the world of
tournament golf. It
is tough the first time out.
Hang in there. Hope to see you in
coming weeks.
Next
week is regular golf.
And NOBODY forgot we start at 8AM.
Amazing.
See you then.

Good
Afternoon Gentlemen,
My
sincere apologies to Alan delaSierra; I was
about to rename us the delaSierra Benefit
Society, but I put the jinx on poor Alan, and
he acted just like a regular golfer rather
than the Superman that we know he is.
Just for this week, probably. Maybe he
will give us mere mortals another chance in
the future. We can only live in hope...
On
a higher note - we welcome some new players.
KB, yes that's his entire name, joined us
today. He does not have a handicap yet,
but intends to be a regular player.
Jeff Nelson joined us for the first time
today, and he should have a USGA handicap by
next tournament.
Tom Crouch also came in today for time #1, and
we'll need to work with him on getting a
tournament handicap quick..
Welcome
Gentlemen, good to have you on board.
Hope you're with us a lot...
There
were 23 regular competitors, and 28 with new
guys and guests. Good turnout for us.
Means we had to go back to the 16th hole,
which is a bit of a pain.
Speaking
of pain, a few fellas should make an extra
effort to keep up the pace. We all need
to help that process, to keep the rounds to 4
1/2 hours plus or minus.
Started
out foggy, got clear, ended up hot.
Fairways green but tight. Greens very
nice - I have no excuse for how badly I
putted. Beautiful day. Mixed
comments about my attempt to 'mix em up'
regarding handicap groupings, but I think both
lower and higher handicap players got
something out of the experiment.
Probably not to be repeated any time soon.
DON'T
FORGET, NEXT WEEK WE START AT 8AM.
