Board Members Needed Believe it or not, membership renewal time is approaching (see below) which means the election of three new board members. This year the terms of Rick Deutscher, John Frykland and Chuck Cali will come to an end. If you are interested in the continued smooth operation of the club, please contact any board member to ask how you can help. You can also email membership chairman John Frykland or call him at (650) 637-0222 to get all the details about being a board member. Membership Renewals Coming You should receive your membership renewal in the mail by October 15. Although the Board of Directors has not yet discussed dues for 2010, we anticipate no change in the current fees. That means $95 to renew if you're 59 or younger and $90 for those 60 and older. The October mailing will be the only one you receive so if you don't find something in your mailbox by November 1, please contact the membership chairman. To make it easier to renew we will be implementing on-line renewals this year. Simply log into the secure members-only area of our website, verify your contact information, fill out the ballot for the board of directors and pay through PayPal just like you do for tournaments. What could be easier. Tournament of Champions This year our Tournament of Champions will be held on October 17 and 18. The top 36 players will compete in the final event of the 2009 tournament year to see who is crowned Player of the Year. If you are hovering around the cut line, be sure to sign up for the remaining events of the year. Event a third or fourth place finish in one of them could mean enough points to make the TOC. As is usually the case, the players for this event are often selected from the top 40 or 45 places in the points standing. With people's busy schedules these days, some qualifiers will not be able to participate so we look down the list until the field is filled. Thursday Match Play Team Wins Group For the first time since 2002, the Thursday Match Play Team won their group during the round robin competition and will advance to the bracket tournament beginning August 27. Competing with teams from Crystal Springs, Poplar Creek and Sunnyvale, PAGC finished with a record of 3-2-1. Congratulations to the team and captain John Osness and good luck in the finals. 2009 TOC Points Standings With just five events remaining in this year's Tournament of Champions race, Patrick Beaulieu has risen to the top of the pack again. His win in the NCGA Net Amateur Qualifier moved him past his closest competitor Glen Esquivel by 67 points. Third place belongs to Tracy Powell who won his flight in the Red, White and Blue event. Jim Mayer (fourth) and John Binns (fifth) are close behind and well ahead of the rest of the pack.
