Summer Greetings to all Valencia Team Dudes!
Thursday was the annual Metro League Captains meeting followed by a two man best ball at LACC. Your Captain and Doug Marshall of Bel Air ham and egged their way to a 62 net to take the $$.
Renovations are busting out all over the Metro League. Oakmont and Wilshire are out and are being replaced by Rolling Hills CC and North Ranch CC just for this season. LACC is shutting down in early February to work on the North Course and will play all matches on the South Course. None of the means anything to us since we don't play these teams until 2011.
The season will start the second week of January. Yardage devices are finally legal in the Metro League! Valencia Country Club will officially being playing from the BLUE tees with the first group playing the GOLD. All other rules remain the same.
Our draw this season is Hacienda CC, Sherwood CC and our old friends at El Caballero. Both Hacienda and Sherwood have recently refurbished their courses. We have to assume that El Cab has improved from the embarrassing course conditions they inflicted on us a couple of seasons ago. Following the brutal draw we had last year this group offers us the potential to finally break out in the Metro League.
And we cannot forget about the Santa Clarita Cup since it seems to mean so much to our friends across the street. I only have one thing to say: THREE-PEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So start/keep playing the BLUE tees and work in some match play games with your friends. I think our "Match Play Thursdays" helped last year and we will start again after the over seed. Last year was a good year. A few more points at Valencia vs LACC and our goal of holding serve at home against three of the toughest teams in the Metro would have been realized. This year it is time to win our bracket!
Keep it in the short stuff!!!!
