PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE
Congratulations,
we have just
over five
hundred
members.
Sign up your
friends and
relatives
and earn a
free round
of golf ($38
value – can
also be
applied to
weekend
rounds).
We listen to
the Members,
and we have
tried to
design our
club
activities
around your
requests and
needs. For
instance,
because of
the low
response to
our member
guest
tournament
last year,
we will
discontinue
this event
this year
and will
replace it
with a
member–member
tournament.
I am
personally
saddened by
this because
it has
always been
a fantastic
event. I
would like
to hear your
feedback?
Ray Gray
and Vic
Scimo are
working on a
questionnaire
to get your
response to
our member –
guest and
other
events. The
questionnaire
will be out
soon!
TEAM PLAY
- History
has repeated
itself with
s.c.g.a.
team play.
Captain of
the year
Scruff
Phillips
again got
his Thursday
team into
the
playoffs.
The Saturday
team has had
another year
of
rebuilding.
However,
Saturday
Team did
have a
successful
match
against the
winner of
the division
Eagle Glen,
and I have
included the
score sheet
just to show
that our
guys really
can play.
Hector Leon
and Terry
Lau
(Thursday);
Blade
Austell and
Kraig Akers
(Saturday)
were voted
Team Players
of year by
their peers.
It looks
like the
senior team
is in
another
rebuilding
year with
Roger
Necochea
receiving
rookie of
the year
honors. You
can find the
status of
senior team
play by
going to
their web
site @sdcsgolfleague.com.
The Saint
Patrick’s
Day event
march, 14th
was a
success and
everyone had
a great
time. The
Irish four
ball-or
something
format
(blame Roger
McKee for
this one)
was very
stimulating
for those of
us with
a.d.d .or
beginning
Dementia.
Mike Santo
provided a
great corned
beef and
cabbage
dinner and
there were
plenty of
raffle
prizes.

CONGRATULATIONS to
our golf
professional
Greg
Milligan for
scoring a
very rare
double eagle
two on the
par 5 15TH hole
at Fallbrook
during the
first
Village
Cup team
match-he
knocked a
three iron
into the
hole.
ALSO, Greg,
Don O’Connor
(mens club
champion)
and Jamie
Hoffmann
(ladies club
champion)
qualified
for the 2007
Lexus
southern cal
TV. Team
championship
to be aired
in may.
Since they
won their
first match,
they are no
longer known
as “the
choking
dogs”. Of
eighty eight
teams that
tried to
qualify,
they are
down to the
final 8, and
they could
go all the
way. Watch
for them on
the Fox
channel in
May. They
are now
called “The
Dream Team
from the
Downs”
We have a
great year
planned; all
you have to
do is
PARTICIPATE!
Men’s club
Champion Don
O’Connor, Ladies
Club Champion
Jamie Hoffman
and Myself Greg
Milligan
competed in the
2007 Lexus
Southern
California Team
Matches. There
were 80 golf
courses
qualifying for
16 spots in the
made for TV
matches. We
qualified 7th
and moved on to
the match play.
Our first match
was against
Industry Hills
golf course who
made it to the
semifinals the
year before.
Don, Jamie and I
all played great
and we won the
match. Our next
match the
quarterfinal
match was
against Glendora
CC, which were
the defending
champs. The
match went back
and forth with
both teams
matching birdie
for birdie.
Going into the
last hole the
match was tied.
The match was
held at Lake San
Marcos CC and
the last hole is
a par 5. After 3
shots Jamie and
I were about 18
feet for birdie
and Don was
about 12 feet
for birdie.
Glendora’s pro
was about 40
feet for! birdie
with his 2
partners about 8
feet for birdie.
The Glendora pro
drills his putt
for birdie from
40 feet. Jamie
putts first and
just misses her
put to the
right, I putt
next and hit my
putt perfect
accept for the
fact it stops
one inch dead
center from
going in (I have
to make the putt
and I leave it
short!). Don who
played great all
day hits his
putt just right
of the hole so
we lose the
match on the
last hole. The
matches will be
on Fox Sports
Net starting in
June. Look for
us, we
represented the
Downs well.

Info from
Roger Mckee
Planning
for 2007
Summer
League
Preliminary
discussions
are
under
way
relative
to
establishing
a
12-week
summer
league.
Last
years’
inaugural
summer
league
was
successful
even
though
it got
off to a
late
start.
This
year we
are
considering
running
the
league
in June,
July,
and
August.
Play
will be
every
Thursday
with
shotgun
start at
5:00 pm,
with
dinner
following
play.
Last
years’
format
was BB
Partners
Match
Play. This
year we
will do
BB
Partners,
but will
make it
medal
play
with
points
awarded
to the
teams
based on
their
placing
each
week. The
team
with the
most
points
will win
the
league. We
are
considering
payouts
for the
first 6
places. There
will
also be
payouts
each
week for
the
first 3
places.
To add a
little
variety
we are
looking
at
making
some of
the
matches
a
different
format
(see
below).
A
maximum
of 12
teams
will be
established. Teams
will
consist
of up to
4
members,
with 2
of the
members
playing
each
week. Substitutes
will be
permitted. Handicaps
will be
the
current
Men’s
club
handicap,
adjusted
each
month. All
events
will be
net
scoring.
The
Board of
Directors
will
complete
the
policies
and
procedures
during
the
month of
April. The
final
Formats
and
Rules
will be
announced
in next
month’s
Newsletter.
Contact
the Pro
Shop if
you are
interested
in
forming
a team
or want
to be
considered
for a
team.

Hey Swing
Doc...
What is the
swing plane?
Simply
stated, the
swing plane
is defined
as the
relationship
between
where the
clubshaft is
pointing and
the target
line. The
plane of the
golf swing
is the angle
of the
clubshaft
relative to
your body
and your
target
line. A
golf swing
is on-plane
if the shaft
of the club
points at
(or close
to) the
target line
throughout
the entire
swing.
During the
golf swing,
whichever
end of the
club is
closest to
the target
line should
be pointing
to the
target line.
Keep things
simple and
swing on
plane while
executing
all shots,
including
putting and
chipping.

Why Are
Masters
Champions
Presented
with a Green
Jacket?
Each
year,
the
winner
of The
Masters
is
presented
with the
famous
"Green
Jacket."
Slipping
on the
green
jacket
is the
golden
moment
for many
winners
of the
tournament.
But how
did a
green
jacket
come to
be such
a big
deal?
What is
the
story
behind
the
vaunted
Green
Jacket?
Let's
face it:
if you
saw
someone
walking
around
in
public
in a
shamrock
green
jacket,
you'd
probably
think
that
person
was
severely
fashion-challenged.
Shamrock
green
jackets
are,
well,
ugly.
But the
Green
Jacket
presented
to the
Masters
champion
is one
beautiful
piece of
outerwear.
The
tradition
of the
Green
Jacket
at
Augusta
National
Golf
Club
dates to
1937.
That
year,
members
of the
club
wore
green
jackets
during
the
tournament
so that
fans in
attendance
could
easily
spot
them if
they
needed
to ask
questions.
According
to the
official
website
of The
Masters:
"Jackets
were
purchased
from the
Brooks
Uniform
Company,
New York
City ...
Members
were not
initially
enthusiastic
about
wearing
the
warm,
green
coat.
Within
several
years, a
lightweight,
made-to-order
Jacket
was
available
from the
Club's
Golf
Shop.
The
single
breasted,
single
vent
Jacket's
color is
'Masters
Green'
and is
adorned
with an
Augusta
National
Golf
Club
logo on
the left
chest
pocket.
The logo
also
appears
on the
brass
buttons."
Soon,
the
Green
Jacket
became
the
symbol
of
membership
in the
ultra-exclusive
Augusta
National
Golf
Club.
And
slipping
a jacket
onto the
winner
of The
Masters
- a
tradition
that
began in
1949 -
symbolized
that
golfer's
entry
into the
exclusive
club of
Masters
champions.
