VALENCIA 50 - LAKESIDE 46
HAIL TO THE ROAD WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Powered by the lower handicappers we snatched a rare road victory yesterday at Lakeside.
It was their first home loss this century!
Great rounds by Harry Thomas, Mark Savage, Chris Chase and Scott Krivis.
Shot of the day: Scott Krivis' fairway hole out for eagle on the #1 handicap par 5 fourth hole!
Just Grind Baby Award: to Ben Delgadillo and Liem Tran - who had just two individual points between
them and still bagged the four team points (which was the margin of victory).
Speaking of team points, we took 22 of 32 possible points. That is how you win.
Lakeside will be here Thursday to try and return the favor (weather permitting). The roster will be out by Monday evening.
Great start gentlemen. Let's keep it going one match at a time.
That is all.

Life can be tough on the road...................................
VALENCIA 30 EL CABALLERO 66
2014........that will be the earliest date that any of us will have to set foot on that golf course again.
I'll make it short and not so sweet. We got our asses kicked. Then again, that score is usually the norm for losses on the road. It shows what a great effort the Hacienda tie was.
Four team points. That won't get it done. And it obviously didn't. There were a few instances of fight and tenacity. Kudos to RB, Delgadillo, Becker, Pieracci, Robb and a few others. We gave away lots of strokes and those players didn't back down. Let's move on and return the favor on February 12 at our place.
The road trip continues on to Sherwood......................... The last time we were there the course was not friendly to either team. Judging from the scores posted at their first two home matches it looks like more of the same. Some of you remember that on our last trip to Sherwood we were only a few points away from beating them. We need to concentrate on team wins. If the team wins, the
individual matches will come along as well. The lineup will be out Saturday night.
That is all.

VALENCIA 48 HACIENDA 48
It looks like the strategy of using lower handicap players on the road worked. (or maybe we were just lucky!)
Out on the road a tie is as good as win. It was a great day where every single point counted. A special shout out to all who clawed and scratched to the bitter end to get individual points when their team match was already over. This was really a TEAM effort.
Congrats to the temperate Dick Rai (73) teaming with Chris Chase for all 12 points. Also in the 12 point club was Greg "Seeing Eye" Collins and El Capitan. 11 points for Mark Savage and Tim Lawlor (72) and 8 points for Peter Cho and Bryan George. That represents 43 of our 48 points. Hacienda had four players in four different groups shoot under par net against our four other groups. Well done to Ben Delgadillo, John Gedney and Dennis Junker for scraping together the 5 points needed to get us the tie.
Next comes our good friends at El Caballero. Let's hope for better course conditions than our last trip. We have good core group of players and I will be working more guys into the battle. The lineup will be out ASAP.

Fall Update
Fall is finally in the air and it is time to get ready for Team Play 2009.
Our three foes this year are Sherwood CC, Hacienda CC and our old friends at El Caballero. All matches will be played consecutive Thursdays starting January 8. Sherwood has to play all home matches in February which changes our division schedule this year. Our first three matches will be on the road and our final three at home. January will be a very busy month.
THREEPEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Santa Clarita Cup will be played on December 11. It’s our annual clash against the Seoul Brothers and the Bankrupt Boys. It is a great event with 24 players per team which gives more guys a chance to play. Two in a row, do I hear three??
Last year we started “Team Play Thursdays” to prepare for the season. It was a great success and a lot of fun. So why mess with a good thing. TPT will start again on November 20. Same drill as last year. We will block out times starting at 11:30am. The shop will keep the signup sheet. Teams will be paired up and we play the Metro League format. It’s a great way to get back in the match play mindset.
After TPT on December 4 we will have the “official” team meeting at 5pm. Even if you are not playing that day please try to make the meeting. We will go over team information and rules changes for the year. If you are unable to attend please contact me.
In an effort to challenge our guests this year we have officially moved back to the blue tees. If you are higher handicap, white tee type, I strongly suggest that you get back there as much as possible before January.
Inspired by the blog efforts of Messrs. Cliver and Hertzing, I will give a go as well. You can find it at: http://valenciateamgolf.blogspot.com/ It is a work in progress and I am wandering through the tech wilderness, so please be patient.
And finally, I am happy to see our metro sexual host pro in residence is finally having a good week. After four straight losses, his beloved Auburn Tigers invaded the Ohio Valley Conference to beat up on the dreaded Skyhawks of the U. Tenn-Martin 37-20. AND he had his 15 minutes of fame this morning on the nationally syndicated Tee It Up Show on KSPN 710. Amazing what a free foursome will get you! Congrats to CC for not embarrassing us or himself in front of a national audience.
That is all.
Adios,
