40 | THE COLONY NEWS | AUGUST 2022 | CLUB NEWS Men's Golf The Colony Men's Golf Club held its Annual Scholarship Tournament and Luncheon on June 15, whereby the successful recipients of the Scholarship Awards (funded by our Pancake Breakfasts) were invited to attend along with their coaches and parents. The students and their coaches joined us for a very enjoyable (and humbling) game of golf followed by the Luncheon. It should be noted that the winners of the Awards were chosen not only for their athletic ability, but also had to meet a minimum 3.0 GPA and be college bound, with the Scholarship monies being deposited directly into their college accounts. The winners of the Scholarship Awards, as noted below, were presented with their Award Certificates at the luncheon by Dennis Murphy. And the awardees were: Kailani Dugdale – Murrieta Valley Madison Connolly – Murrieta Vista Andrew Gillette – Murrieta Mesa Mia Golovich – Murrieta Mesa Congratulations to the winners, and our best wishes to them for success in their chosen careers.

Before the specifics of the GOB membership, play, etc., are explained, let's celebrate the Hole-In-One on June 24 on the 15th Hole by Charlie Craven. Anyone who plays golf at Cal Oaks knows Charlie, and it's not surprising as this is one of many career hole-in-ones. Besides just the accolades and notoriety, Charlie received a substantial prize from the GOB fund and also a hand-crafted trophy made by another GOB, Candy Pineiro. For the uninformed, the GOB is a golf league of mostly Colony residents – but with nonresident seniors included – who enjoy a noncompetitive team-play round of golf every Friday morning. We match up all skill levels within each team for a fun morning, followed by a 19th Hole catered menu or off-site pizza gathering. Beginners, players who are rehabbing, new residents, and anyone just wanting to get a little outside exercise with a great group of guys, please join us. The Good Ole Boys was founded by Don Dooley in 1994 - and he still plays every week! Several times a year we have pizza parties with spouses/ partners included, which is always a great time. We play a Shamble format, plus we adjust which tees players use dependent upon handicap and age. It's just all for fun! And Cal Oaks is continually getting upgraded.
