We Need Your Help 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. We need your response by September 25 so the ballots can be printed for inclusion in the renewal mailing in early October. The board is also looking for candidates to fill the Tournament Chairman's spot. In this position you will coordinate tournament sign-ups, assign tee times and work with the various golf course staffs to run the home and away events. To help compensate you for your efforts, the club provides free entry into the tournaments. If you are interested, please contact any board member and be prepared to present your qualifications at the next board meeting on October 1. Membership Renewals Coming You should receive your membership renewal in the mail by October 15. The dues for 2010 are unchanged from the current year. 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. Even 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 Round 1 For the first time since 2002, the Thursday Match Play Team won their group during the round robin competition and advanced to the bracket tournament. In the first round, the team beat Harding Park 25-11 and will play San Jose Country Club in the second round. Congratulations to the team and to captain John Osness and good luck in the next round. 2009 TOC Points Standings With just four events remaining in this year's Tournament of Champions race, Patrick Beaulieu remains at the top of the pack with Glen Esquivel in second. With his win in the Stroke Play Championship, Kevin Kearns jumped into third while Tracy Powell and Jim Mayer complete the top five.
