Craig’s Weekend Release Program
For the week of May 24th thru May 30th
The Classic Member Guest;
The Classic Member Guest is typically the most popular event we do here at Valencia Country Club. This year sign ups seem to be a bit slower than usual which to me is surprising especially with the added incentive of having the winners participate in the BMW Invitational at Pinehurst. If you are on the fence of participating and need selling, just call me or any one of the other Members that have played in this event. Just by playing you will receive over $300 a team in tee prizes. We really do need a firm number so we can make sure we have the right amount of prizes. Please finalize your plans for Father’s Day weekend and spend Thursday thru Saturday with us at Valencia Country Club’s premier event.
Tuesday Ladies Team Play;
Well, the Ladies are continuing their solid play in Team Play. This past week they hosted Crystalaire Country Club on a brisk day at VCC. They won both Gross and Net against them. They then traveled to Bakersfield Country Club Thursday and tied Gross and lost Net and stay undefeated in the Gross. This Tuesday they host Bakersfield and will exact their revenge. Tuesday will be a 9:00 shotgun for the Ladies. They then travel to Antelope Valley on Thursday. By the end of the week our picture will be very clear where they stand.
Wednesday Night Match Play;
Last week seemed to be the week a couple of teams made their move half way through the season. Team Rick Smith dominated a depleted Chris Chase Team. The final score of that match was 20.5 to 1.5. Team Regis Malone also made a strong move scoring 18.5 points against Team Dean Herrington who earned 3.5 points in the match. All the match standings are posted on the website. Please get your players into us earlier than later.
Memorial Day;
Memorial Day weekend is upon us. We are open next Monday and will be taking tee times starting Tuesday for Monday. Please come by this weekend as we will be kicking off summer with a BBQ on the patio all weekend long!
Weekday Junior Programs;
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we have programs scheduled for the Valencia Country Club Juniors. Tuesday is for the age groups 4-7, Wednesday is for age groups 8-12 and Thursday is for those children that are ready to get out on the golf course with the Pros. All of these programs are great opportunities for the Juniors to get to know each other and build friendships for life.
Summer Weekend Times;
Starting this Sunday we will move to our Summer Starting Times. The first time on Sunday the 22nd will be 6:33 so all you early risers or those of you that come straight to the course after the bars close, come on out and we will be ready for you!
Schedule of events for the week of May 24th thru May 30th:

The Weekend Release
Craig’s Weekend Release Program
For the week of May 10th thru May 15th
Play Pinehurst for Free this Fall!;
“the Classic” Invitations went out last week and we would really like to have them in by this Sunday so we can get tee prizes organized. This year’s overall Net Champion will qualify for the BMW Golf Cup International at Pinehurst Resort. All expenses will be paid except for travel to this event. If you and your partner win “the Classic” you will participate at Pinehurst on September 29-October 2, 2011. I hope you enjoy this added bonus of winning “the Classic.” If you haven’t received your invitation by mail, please come by the shop as we do have a few extras behind the counter.
The Modified Chapman;
This weekend we have our Men’s Modified Chapman event. This and the Grupp Cup are two of our most popular events. The Modified Chapman format is tons of fun. Both players tee off, you switch shots and play the others tee shot and then hit and then you alternate shots the rest of the way into the hole. It really is a great format. We will tee this event off at 9:00. Please call the shop or sign up in the locker room if you are interested in playing.
Wednesday Night Match Play;
This weeks format is a Shamble. Both players will tee off and you will pick the best drive and play your own ball in from there. Please get us your list of players as early as possible. If you are on the team, please come in the shop to tell us you are here and try to be here before 4:35 as we try to tee this off by 4:30.
Henry Mayo Golf Tournament;
Just a little FYI, the Henry Mayo Golf Tournament is quickly approaching. The course will be closed all day on Saturday the 21st.
Memorial Day;
As Memorial Day weekend approaches, i just want to give you a heads up. We will be taking tee times for the Monday. There will be no guest play restrictions and we will start taking tee times on Tuesday the 24th for that following Memorial Day weekend.
Weekday Junior Programs;
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we have programs scheduled for the Valencia Country Club Juniors. Tuesday is for the age groups 4-7, Wednesday is for age groups 8-12 and Thursday is for those children that are ready to get out on the golf course with the Pros. All of these programs are great opportunities for the Juniors to get to know each other and build friendships for life.
Aerification;
This should be our last week of fairway and tee aerification. Aerification is basically a venting for the grass’ root system. We aerify in this transition time in order to encourage our base grass, bermuda. As most of you know from high school that this is what is happening as grass grows
2n CO2 + 2n H2O + photons → 2(CH2O)n + 2n O2
As we wrap up aerification you will see some holes in the tees and fairways. If your ball should come to rest in one of the holes you may lift clean and place it as near to the spot as possible. We also will be teeing off the back nine a bunch this week, so we can finish the front nine. Thanks for your patience as we get this course ready for the summer months.
Schedule of events for the week of May 10th thru May 15th:
Tuesday: Ladies Day 8:00; LTAD ages 4-7 3:30-4:30

The Weekend Release
Craig’s Weekend Release Program
For the week of May 3rd thru May 8th
Men’s Club Championship;
Once again the Santa Clarita Valley rivals Mars as the most inhospitable conditions in the known universe. I am really starting to wonder why the founders of this area stopped here. I am starting to think they stopped here to wait out the storm and haven’t left! I am worried about the sanity of all of us that call this place home. We competed our Club Championship among winds that turned trees into toothpicks and sent branches javelining through the air. I honestly found myself in the midst of a discussion about what was better to live through, and earthquake or tornado\hurricane. When that becomes the standard of living, something isn’t right. Lest i digress, we did have a Club Championship this weekend. After our first day of wind we saw Peter Cho and Dean Herrington leading the event. Going into Saturday morning, Chris Chase and Dave Fish finished out the lead group. Saturday showed us a little more mild weather, the wind only gusted to 30 mph. After Saturday’s rounds the final group in the Gross Division was Forrest Blake, Gary Chiurazzi, Joe Millin and Armando Rand. In the Net Division there were only 3 rounds of par or better which were brought to us by John Gedney, Michael Keefe, and Akihiro Komine. Sunday found us with much better weather, but the course had dried out and the greens showed their teeth. In the final round of the Net Division Bill Rose came from behind finishing at 1 under for the event and captured this year’s Championship followed by Ed Aguilar and John Gedney. The Gross Division was truly a battle of attrition. Forrest Blake made a 3 footer on 18 to hold off Eric Findon and Dean Herrington who both had low rounds on Sunday. Thank you to all who came out and participated this weekend. Photos and results will be posted on the website and blog.
Japanese Tsunami Fundraiser;
This is your final week to sign up for the Japanese Fundraiser. Thank you to all that have signed up and to those of you that have sponsored your services to make this event very special!

Tomorrow kicks off the home defense of our Ladies. They will be hosting the ladies from Antelope Valley Country Club in team play at 9:00. Our Ladies have had one match so far this year travelling to Crystalaire Country Club and beating them handily. The tee will close at 8:30 and should clear at about 10:30 for other play.
Japanese Tsunami Fundraiser;
As many of you know we are having a fundraiser for the Tsunami Survivors on Monday the 9th. Erikos father’s side of the family is from one of the hardest hit areas, Sendai. The donation to play in the event is $200 per player. Please call us if you are interested in playing as an individual or bringing a team out here! Thanks for your support! All proceeds will be going to the Japanese Red Cross, Eriko and her sister will take the money directly to the Japanese Consulate to make sure that the money gets to the people that need it most!
Wednesday Match Play;
Well, it seems that Wednesday Match Play is a hit. Our current standings are on the Member’s portion of the Valencia Country Club Website. Currently Doc Herring’s team has a slim lead over Chris Chase’s Team and Calvin Hedman’s squad. Captains, please get your line-ups in early so it isn’t a total goat rope trying to get everything organized right at 4:30. Players, please check in to the Pro Shop when you get here so we aren’t trying to call all of you at 4:25 wondering where you are.
Men’s Club Championship;
Ok, start cramming, the Club Championship is this weekend. We will be accepting sign-ups until Wednesday at 5:00! The Championship Flight will play 72 holes over 3 days and the Net Flight will compete over 36 holes on the weekend. Call the Shop if you have any questions. We will be teeing the event on Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 so you will still have the bulk of your day to spend with the family.
Spring Member Trip;
The Robert Trent Jones Trail is in our radar. We are inside of a month before the trip. We have 17 people going right now and we will have to Roshambo over who will not be able to participate on the trip.

All of these programs are great opportunities for the Juniors to get to know each other and build friendships for life.
Around the Club;
Our new Superintendent, Joe Meyer starts this week. As you see him running around the course, please say hi and make him feel welcome. He comes from being the North Course Superintendent at Los Angeles Country Club. Our aerification recover was slowed a bit by the frost and hail last week. This week should be perfect weather for the recovery and we expect to have phenomenal greens by this weekend. Pleased come on out and visit! See you around the Club.
