The signup sheet is open for Halloween “Trick or Treat” next weekend.
This will be a Net Tournament. You may also have an opportunity to win
additional cash in a side Tournament on 9 of 18 holes. Those holes
will be decided by rolling a dice 9 times by different members to
determine which holes count in the “Trick or Treat” portion.
Additionally, prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place
Costume Contest – attending members in the club house after
the round will cast a vote for best costume. I hope to see you all next Saturday!

PLEASE Sign up by Wednesday at 8PM. Do not call me Thursday looking
for a tee time. The answer will be NO.

Looking Forward,
Bill V.

G’day Fellas,

The 2027 SCGA Team Play season kicks off on Saturday, January 07th 2027, and concludes on February 11th, El Nino permitting.  I’m starting to build our Mission Trails player pool and roster.

The Team Play sign-up sheet will be posted on the Mission Trails Men’s Club website. If you’re interested in representing the Trails, please add your name. Returning players, mark your calendars and keep some Saturdays available. Let’s get our games ready and win some matches!

How Team Play Works

We field a team of 16 players against three other clubs in our local group. All matches take place on Saturdays, with a six-week regular season featuring one home match and one away match against each club.

The winner of our group advances to the single-elimination playoffs against other SCGA group winners.

Match Format and Scoring

Each foursome consists of two Mission Trails players and two opposing players. Three matches take place simultaneously over 18 holes:

● One four-ball match: Our two-player side competes against the opposing pair, using each side’s better net score on each hole.

● Two singles matches: Each player also competes individually against a designated opponent.

Each foursome plays for six points: two for the four-ball match and two for each singles match.

Player Eligibility

To be eligible, you must:

● Be an active Mission Trails Men’s Club member in 2026 and maintain your membership for 2027.

● Have at least 10 scores posted.

● Have an SCGA Handicap Index of 18.4 or lower.

● Players with handicaps 18.4 + will play to their current index.

Our three opponents will be Balboa, Carlton Oaks and Cottonwood Mens Golf Clubs. I will have the schedule posted once it’s finalized.

Kevin Kett will serve as Assistant Team Captain this season. Together, we’ll work to put our most competitive team on the course each week.

If you enjoy match play, friendly competition and representing your club, put your name down. We’d love to have you involved.

Let’s go, Trails!

Hello MTMGC,

Congratulations to all of our winners today. We welcomed two new members into the club today. Welcome Michael Weiss & David Washington. Thank you once again to our volunteers who helped make the Tournament run smoothly. The sign-up sheet for Skins next Saturday is available.

October 31st falls on a Saturday this year. There will be a costume contest with prizes for those who participate. The Trick or Treat Tournament will be a Net Tournament. After the round, 9 different members of the club will roll the dice to see what 9 holes count in a separate tournament. Only 9 holes will count, (hence Trick or Treat!) so play your best on every hole. The other 9 holes will not count toward the second Contest.

If you have any questions- contact me – TEXT (858) 349-6387

Have a great week – I hope to see you all next Saturday for some Skin action!

Looking Forward, Bill V. – VP

Members,

The Men’s Club conducts at least one tournament per month. The majority of the tournaments are “Chiefs” tournaments and the others are a 5-Club, the 2-Man Best Ball SCGA Qualifier and Club Championship. The Chiefs Tournament is an individual low net tournament usually split into flights. Each month’s winner of the Chiefs qualifies to play in the Super Chiefs tournament (tournament of Chief’s champions) at the end of our Golf fiscal year (September). *In order to qualify in our Two Man Best Ball, Club Championship and our Sr. Club Championship, you must play in a least two tournaments.*

How to join:

Mission Trails Men’s Golf Club Members,

Penalty Area Changes on holes 13 and 17

To make an effort to speed up play, the board has implemented a few new rules that we think will speed play up on a couple of the harder holes that consistently slow play down. 

This includes looking for lost balls, confusion over where to drop and play a shot from, going back to the tee to re-hit a shot, etc…

Hole 13:

We have changed the OB on the left of the hole to a Red Lateral Penalty area.  Previously it was White. Now, the marking of the left of 12 and 13 fairways are consistent. 

We have added a drop area approximately 170 yards from the green that will be used anytime a ball is lost to the left, or to the right on the hole.  

So, for instance:

If you hit your drive to the right, down in the ditch, and it’s unplayable, or if you can’t find your ball off to the right, instead of dropping it down by the creek, you will now just proceed to the designated drop area and play your third shot.  (1 stroke penalty)

*** The mandatory re-tee if you hit the wires on your drive is still the rule.

Hole 17

The entire hole is marked RED now. 

If you hit your ball out to the left side of the ditch, or short of the landing area, way right, or over the green long…. proceed to the drop area, or re-Tee. 

Our goal is to speed up play, make the rules easier to follow, and as always, make the game as enjoyable as possible.

Thanks!
