Shellback Golf Club

This past Saturday Shellback played its 8th tournament of the season. 26 members played out at Mountain Meadows. The golf course was in good shape and the greens were a bit tricky. The wind came up early in the afternoon and became an issue. No one from either the “A” or “B” flight broke par. Your winners of their respective flights went to Mr. Funston Smith in the “B” flight and a tie for 1st place in the “A” flight between Mr. Larry Seifert and Mr. Bennie Blanco. Congratulations to all our winners this month. Next month we’ll be out at Diamond Bar Golf Course. Thanks to everyone for coming out!!!

Yesterday, Shellback played its 7th tournament of the season at Indian Canyons Golf Club in Palm Springs. Two years ago we played out here and the course did not disappoint. We played the “South” course. The course was in excellent shape, the best course aesthetically we’ve played all season. With majestic views of the Santa Rosa mountains, water features and undulated greens, this course was a treat. Our respective winners of each flight went to Mr. Chris Salvatore in the “A” flight and Mr. Rich Vista in the “B” flight. Chris shot a gross 84, net 70 and Rich shot a gross 86, net 59. Congrats to all our winners yesterday. Our next tournament will be at Mountain Meadows in January. I’d like to wish all our members a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We’ll see all of you next year. Here are a few pics from yesterday….

A late post but just wanted to share with you the results of our November tournament at Yucaipa Valley Golf Club. A nice, brisk day greeted our group and the golf course didn’t disappoint. 19 Shellbsckers and 1 guest competed. On this day, Mr. Tim Miers treated us to his first “hole in one” on hole number 13, his fourth overall, and he didn’t see it go in the hole as the pin placement was tucked in behind a bunker to the far right. When his group went up to the green, they couldn’t initially find the ball until they went to the hole and there it was. Congrats Tim, our first hole in one since Mr. Todd Vineyard made one at Oak Valley GC some years ago. Tim also was the winner of the “A” flight along with Mr. David Monson who won the “B” flight. Congratulations to all our winners on this day. Our next tournament will be out in Palm Springs at Indian Canyon Golf Club on December 14th.
