38 | LIFE IN SOLERA | APRIL 2023 | GOLF CLUB The Southern California PGA and the SCPGA Junior Tour recently announced a partnership with PGA Tour Pro Max Homa and the naming of the Toyota Tour Cup Max Homa Invitational at Oak Valley in Beaumont in February. The Toyota Tour Cup Series features the best Junior Golfers in Southern California. As the host, Homa was onsite Monday the 20th the day after finishing second at The Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club. The Junior Tour relies on volunteers at these events. Several Solera Golf Club members stepped up and helped shuttling juniors on the golf course at this event. Kudos to Ed Young, Dave Sampson, Mag Magdaleno, Mike Kurz, Tom Hamerla, Jim Karalun and Richard Crowe who assisted in this successful tournament. This month we'll continue our club's Match Play Championship as we move on to round two on the 4th; round three on the 11th; semi-finals on the 18th; and culminating with the finals on the 25th. Those players not advancing in Match Play can look forward to playing a variety of games. February's rain continued and we had to cancel two of our games. When we did play Dick Martin continued his hot streak by winning for the third time in a row. Dick and Armand Silva won the two-man scramble event while Rod Fry and Bob Ardis placed 2nd. Dick and Rod carried their respective teams to a one-two finish with their hot putting. Play resumed on Feb. 21 with Tony Smith, Bob Ardis, Mag Magdaleno and Rod Fry winning the Four-Man Lone Ranger game. Congratulations to the players mentioned above. GOLFERS WANTED! Men and women are welcome to come and play golf with our Solera Golf Club. The goal is to have fun no matter what your skill level is. We play each Tuesday morning at different courses. We'd love it if you would like to join us for a round or two before deciding if you would like to join us on a regular basis. You can contact Jim Karalun at (951) 769-2535 for more information. Richard Crowe may just have been the oldest "KID" to get his picture taken with Max Homa!
