| THE COLONY NEWS | MARCH 2024 | 33 Men's Golf By Greg Griffes The Men's Club is looking for Colony resident golfers of all abilities to join us. Membership benefits are weekly fun events mixed with individual events to improve your game and handicap. We have monthly luncheons, two major championships a year, and a year-end Awards Banquet. We also sponsor the charity Pancake Breakfasts twice a year. There is a schedule of our games at http://colonymensgolf. net. You can contact George Herrera at 760-533-0350 for more information. Here are photos of a few of our members ready to tee off to glory. A few weeks ago, we had some almost holes-in-one, with Jim Gillespie hitting the ball to within 7" of the pin from 78 yards on #15 and Leo Pasco hitting the ball to within 1' 2" from 160 yards away on #9. Amazing shots and both took away cash prizes for the Closest to the Pin contests. Our February Couples 2Ball event was caught in the crosshairs of the first of two consecutive "Pineapple Express" storms to not only hit SoCal but the entire state. So heavy was the rain the event was called early to save the golfers as well as the Cal Oaks Golf Course from damage. Our sights are now focused upon March 7 to regain some momentum for the 2024 season of play. If you have interest in this fun event, give me a call or drop me an email at dmurph44@vrizon.net and I will send you a 2024 tournament schedule (first Thursday afternoon of the month), rules of the game and include you in our active mailing list. Requirements for our March 7 event are simple — able to grasp a club! Being a member of the Men's or Women's Golf Club is not required. Just pick up some sticks and join us for a friendly afternoon of fun. Look forward to hearing from you. See ya on the links!
