Saticoy Regional's good points.....

The President's state of the union address....... First I would like to apologize for our slight late schedule and slight change of venue.
I was a member of Saticoy Regional Mens Club,11 years ago. Back when Al Urias, Dick Shuab,
and many other old timers who have now passed away were in the mens club.
It was a small but friendly club that played for $ (small amounts). Because they had learned, not everyone could afford big $, or just didn't want to. So many of them had side bets, not unlike the games/bets that I see today between Chaidez and Puga, or Miller and Ferrar, or Perez and Milleville. Over the years some things have changed and some things haven't.
One change has been the addition of women in the club, another has been the frequency, or infrequency of play and that has been largly based upon member #'s.
Last years board members changed things, they changed the name of the club to Saticoy Golf Club, and started the Seabee base play in the rotation. They also started the points list or fed ex cup list.(A list that is tallied thru the year and at the years end a nice gift/prize is awarded).
All these are fine changes, and at some point in time things are going to change.
When I first started thinking about what was going to be in store for this years SGC club,
WE/the Club were moving through a trepeduious time, unfortunatly we had a # of people leaving this club. All the reasons don't need to be rehashed , however, I had to make some plans for the club... I began by asking what are the strengths of Saticoy?
1. It is very conveinant 2. It is inexpensive 3. It is a nine hole course 4. It has a driving range and at least 2 regular golf instructors
So I decided to use those strengths to the advancement of the club, SGC. Not everyone can play on Sunday( I heard that from many perspective members) So Saturdays were an obvious solution. "I don't always have the time for 18 holes", hence 9 hole games.....
Hey after the 1 week we didn't know whether we were going to have more than 6 regular players on any given week anyways!......So to clear the air so to speak, 1-week is Sunday 9 hole team/get together/mix it up type game...2-week is Saturday 9 hole (same atmosphere game)
To give Saturday players a taste of the same game... 3-week Sunday Tournament (holy tournament day! can't change that) 4-week 18 holes Saturday.... cmon see the genius? Also any Month we have an extra week as in March, August, Nov. We have a "MO-MONEY" tournament, its all about the side bets(on Sunday).......So if that don't spread the love around
I'll just start throwing money! sorry can't do that...What I did though is broker a deal for SGC members to save 3$ every time you play in the Wed. Nt. SCRAMBLES so, over the course of the summer if you are a frequent player you will save enough for your SGC membership anyway....!!!!! I also have put together a 5$ group lesson in March for SGC club members
a 1 hr. clinic by Mr. Quezada (short game) and Mr. Milleville (long game) For 5 bucks I think that is a nice bonus for SGC members. We have a calling tree established so people here from people about the events in our club. I might add we also have a great group of guys on the board this year and each one of them seems amiciable to work with, and ready and willing to help, well except that Chris guy he is a little rough around the edges....I hope that helps you all to see where this year is heading...... Thanks for reading this book Jimmy Jones
