President's Corner
Don Didier President

Happy New Year to all! It’s hard to believe 2023 is here already. As your President, elected unopposed, you should have no expectations of me. On the other hand, I will have very high expectations of the Board of Directors and our Membership to maintain El Dorado Men’s Golf Club as one of the best public clubs in Southern California!
We have a full slate of tournaments for 2023 with Brad Wilcox running our Monthly Home Tournaments and Mike Petersen running our Away Tournaments including a Weekender at Singing Hills in September. These Tournaments plus Thursday and Saturday Team Play, Club Championships, Senior Club Championships, Flights, and the return of Quad Club in April, we have a full schedule to satisfy your competitive golfing appetite!
A note to new Members as well as old: Each player must Sign-Up thru the Member Portal on our website to enter Tournaments. Seems simple, but you’d be surprised of the amount of “cat herding” the Tournament Chairman must do. Help Brad and Mike out by Signing up for events early!
The Christmas Shotgun Tournament went off well! After a cool morning we ended up having a great day for golf. There was some good golf played and some not so good. My group wasn’t the worst, but we contended! Unfortunately, we had three teams disqualified. Two teams turned scorecards without 2 signatures. One team failed to turn in their scorecard in a timely manner. Lessons learned?
A Flight Gross winners at 140 (-4) Mike Petersen, Steve Sterry and Scott Sterry
A Flight Net winners at 135 (-9): Omar Diaz, Noah Busch and Justin Vanderbroek
B Flight Gross winners at 154: Dave Hasselman, John Hasselman and Drew Kroner
B Flight Net winners at 135 (-6): Jesse Duncan, Conner Burke and Michael Burke
C Flight Gross winners at 161: Emmet Hargrave, Josh Hendrix and Brian Lineberger
C Flight Net winners at 135 (-9): Bryan Knigge, Eric Kent and Josh Dubón
D Flight Gross winners at 172: Garret Marks, Greg Marks and Ryan Strong
D Flight Net winners at 138 (-6): Danny Martin, Jim McDavid and Jeff Allman
