Discovery Bay Women's Golf Club



1. Bunkers – rakes are still optional. Can take relief if you’re in footprints, as we’ve been doing.
2. 8 minute tee times – will get there when more people share carts – if you can share either a club cart or your personal cart, please do so.
3. Jim Kleimer has made and donated a cabinet that will be displayed outside the proshop and will hold news for all the groups (18-holers, Breakers, Sr. men).
4. Discussed growing up some of the areas around the greens to prevent the ball from running off.
5. Some areas of the cart path where the concrete is coming up will be fixed.
6. Organized play – for April still only twice a month.
7. Pro shop – over the next few weeks should be getting in some new ladies clothes. Plan to have 2 trunk shows this year, one in the spring.
8. F&B: Opening this Tuesday for lunch (as outlined in the message Mark sent out). There will be an Easter brunch, limited attendance. Will be eliminating take-out on Saturday nights. F&B minimums will be back in place April 1.
9. Spring kick-off tournament will be April 24.
10. Entire course has been fertilized. Green aeration starts Monday. Product to treat the crab grass to be applied. New drill seeder to arrive next week. Matting on steps on #8 to be replaced as well as the bridge from #2-3.
11. Lakes have been treated for aquatic weeds and will all be filled next week.

Wear a mask until you are seated at a table on the patio, or indoors.

Until next time . . .

Cathy and I really wanted to thank all of you who were able to come out and play and attend the Brick Ceremony for Becky. It really meant a lot to us that so many of you were there and you braved the unpleasant weather. But I think it’s a miracle and that Becky was watching out for us that not one drop of rain fell on us till everything was over. And the late afternoon rainbow was incredible! We hope you enjoyed the format and had time to remember some fun things about Becky. We also really appreciate all who made donations to the American Cancer Society, Cathy will be sending that in in remembrance of Becky.

Hi all
Working on getting things set for next Tuesday, we will have tee times so watch fore tees for your times. I will be moving some people around but I think I know who is supposed to stay together, I’ll do my best. I understand there is a chance of rain but we plan to move forward with the day. The Brick Ceremony will be at 3:30 and the club will have their appetizer/bar menu upstairs, outside from 12-4. Rum and coke will be served at the Brick Ceremony.

The format will be 2 net best balls and there will be a few fun holes. Here’s a list of what’s happening:

1 –Play a Shamble. Everyone drives, pick the best drive and play you own ball from that spot

2 – Closest to the pin – Everyone puts in a $1, Donna Grover will be collecting the money and measuring. Please remember to bring a $1 bill. There will be 2 flights

4 – Play your tee shot from the drop zone – you may tee it up

7 – Putt with any club besides your putter

10 – On your first putt, the other 3 in the group try and distract the putter (stand behind, stand in front, move around etc) If you make the putt, take one stroke off your score. Our friend Becky was very particular about where everyone stood when she was putting.

12 – Miracle Hole – there is no water or sand on this hole. If it goes in, take it out on the line it went in and hit your next shot, no penalty.

15 – Play with the yellow ball and share a memory of Becky with your group.

17 – 3 flags – Whichever one you want to play to you can and you don’t have to say before you hit tee shot which one you want.

(I’m still confirming that we will be able to have this)

We will award some prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd and everyone will get a yellow ball and some goodies at check in. At the Brick Ceremony bring your yellow ball and a club to hit it into the lake.

This day is meant to be fun and remember our great friend, Becky.

Right now the tee sheet is full, we only have tee times for 44 players. We have invited a few guests, previous members of DBWGC and a few from other clubs that were close to Becky. If you need to cancel please let me know as soon as possible, we actually have 45 players signed up right now and 1 on the wait list.

Thanks Annette and Cathy
