Our spring outing was held at Jasper Ridge Preserve on April 20. There were 14 members in attendance and we were so fortunate to have a perfect spring day to learn about the local plants and wildlife. We crossed the Searsville Lake dam and found many wildflowers in bloom as well as the skull of a fawn. After the hike we ate a picnic lunch and saw the displays inside the education center. What a treat to have access to this 1200 acre local treasure! From: Connie DUNCAN <constanceduncan@gmail.com>
Date: Saturday, March 31, 2018 at 2:10 PM Subject: Rules information from Jenny Blaschke Connie Duncan and I went to the rules seminar on Wednesday. Some of the rules discussed: UNPLAYABLE LIE: One stroke penalty. An unplayable lie can be taken anywhere on the course. There are three options when you declare a ball unplayable. 1. Drop the ball from shoulder height within two club lengths from where it lies, no closer to the hole 2. Go back as far as you want as long as you maintain a line between the ball and the hole. 3. Go back to the place from which you originally hit the ball. IMMOVABLE OBSTRUCTION: No penalty. Must take the nearest point of relief. Measure one club length (you may use any club) from obstruction and then drop ball. When you drop ball from shoulder height it must be within two club lengths no closer to the hole. When a player's ball lies on the putting green, there is no penalty if the ball or ball-marker is accidentally moved by the player, his opponent, or any of their caddies or equipment. The moved ball or ball-marker must be replaced. A ball on the green, when hit, goes off the green and hits an opponent’s equipment. No penalty. You may replace the ball where it originally lay or hit it from where it landed after removing equipment. If you choose the first option, do not count the stroke which sent the ball off the green. Second option counts the stroke that goes off the green. If your ball hits a ball at rest and causes it to move, the ball originally at rest is replaced to its original position with no penalty to either person. If a competitor is asked to mark her ball on the FAIRWAY, she must mark her ball and pick the ball up like an egg so as not to disturb any dirt or grass that might be on the ball. Water hazards: Lateral hazards: Usually red stakes. These are water hazards parallel to the golf course. There are five options. 1. Play the ball where it lies with no penalty 2. Drop within two club lengths no closer to the hole from where the ball last crossed the hazard. One stroke penalty. 3. Go back as far as you want as long as the place where the ball last crossed the hazard is in line with the flag. One stroke penalty 4. Go back to the spot from which the ball was originally hit. One stroke penalty. 5. Go to the other side of the hazard at an equal distance from where the ball last crossed the hazard and drop within two club lengths from that spot. One stroke penalty. Direct Water Hazard. Yellow stakes. One stroke penalty. Three options. 1. Play the ball at it lies. No penalty 2. Go back to the point from which the ball was originally hit. 3. You must hit the ball from behind the water hazard at a point where the ball last crossed the margin of the water hazard going back as far as you want. One stroke penalty. Unplayable lie in a bunker: 1. Play the ball from the spot from which the ball was originally hit. One stroke penalty. 2. Drop the ball in the bunker behind where the ball lies in line with and no closer to the hole. 3. Drop the ball within two club lengths of the spot where the ball lies but within the bunker. Thanks, Jenny Shannon Donlon, PGA Class A
General Manager & Head Professional Stanford Golf Course March 27, 2018 Dear Member of the Stanford Golf Course, I am pleased to announce that the golf course irrigation and bunker renovation project is proceeding quite nicely. Holes #1 through #7 are complete. Feedback has been very positive; particularly on holes #5 and #10. Overall, bunker reshaping and relocation, sand quality and consistency have been very well received. Assured Aggregate White Sand is the sand type used in the new bunkers. Hole #5 highlights include the addition of a fairway bunker on the left side, shift of the approach bunker from the right side to the left, removal of the left greenside bunker and shift of the right greenside bunker; closer to the green and more in front of the green than before. Hole #10 highlights include the shift of both fairway bunkers farther up the fairway, approximately 25 yards, removal of the left greenside bunker (replaced with a grassy swale) and shift of the right greenside bunker closer to the green allowing for a small bail out area right of that bunker. Hole #11 highlights include the shift of the right fairway bunker farther forward and left of the original location, removal of the left fairway bunker (replaced with grass), reshaping of the greenside bunkers bringing those bunkers slightly closer to the green. One main objective of the project is to reduce the amount of irrigated turf. To date, native grasses have been planted on holes #1 through #7. A combination of 3 types of fescue have been planted; sheep, hard and chewings. Irrigation is necessary to establish the native areas however, once established, these areas will not be irrigated. The process can take up to one and a half years. Project completion is estimated to be August 31. Updates will be given at the Town Hall Meeting in May. Designer Beau Welling from Beau Welling Design and assistant, Scott Benson will make a course project presentation followed by Q&A. Light appetizers and beverages will be served. Several reminders will be sent in April and early May leading up to the event. TOWN HALL MEETING – GOLF CLUBHOUSE MONDAY, MAY 7 @ 6:00PM As most of you know, the new Golf Learning Center, formerly the driving range, has been open since April of 2017. In the past year, the golf professionals have organized 4 demonstration days featuring key golf vendors in clubs and hard goods; Callaway, Titleist, Ping and Taylor Made. A separate demonstration day was held featuring XXIO (pronounced zek-si-oh). XXIO has been the number one selling golf brand in Japan for 17 years and currently number one in both Korea and New Zealand. Overall golf club sales have increased significantly, likely the highest ever recorded in golf course and driving range history. The staff and I are looking forward to promoting more events and creating new opportunities to engage with students, faculty, staff, alumni and membership around the game of golf. The next scheduled multi-vendor fitting day and opportunity for all to demo new game improvement equipment is May 12. SATURDAY - MAY 12 – GOLF LEARNING CENTER 10:00AM – 3:00PM Beginning April 11, the Fourth Annual Women’s Graduate School of Business Golf Program will be underway and run for 10 weeks on Wednesday evenings from 5:30-7:30PM. The program includes golf instruction, on-course education in rules and etiquette, putting contests, 3-Hole Scramble and a speaking component featuring high profile, local, successful women in business and golf. On most Wednesdays throughout the 10-week period, there will be increased usage at the Golf Learning Center. There can be a waiting period for a hitting space. Please plan your practice schedules accordingly. Men’s & women’s varsity golf programs have been impacted by the golf course project. Each year, the men host The Goodwin, a spring invitational. And most every year, Stanford hosts a post-season championship. This year, Stanford is hosting the Women’s Regional Championship. Due to the course project, Stanford will host the 2018 Goodwin and the 2018 Women’s Regional Championship at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco. THE GOODWIN MAY 29-31 WOMEN’S REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP MAY 7-9 Spectatorship is strongly encouraged. If you can find the time, please make your way to San Francisco and support the Cardinal!!! Thank you very much for your continued support! See you on the links! Kind regards, Shannon Donlon 650.721.9288 – O 650.384.5188 – C sdonlon@stanford.edu Stanford 9-Hole Golf: April Update

Date: Sunday, March 11, 2018 at 8:27 PM Subject: Corena Green Junior Girls Golf Classic Hello golfers (Casey, can you please forward to the 18-hole section?) DO YOU KNOW ANY JUNIOR GIRL GOLFERS? The WNHGA Corena Green Classic for Junior Girls gives young women between the ages of 8 and 17 the opportunity to compete, make friends, and earn scholarships. The tournament is open to all girls who have played some golf and have some basic knowledge of the game. They do not have to belong to a WNHGA club. The total field is 104 players in 2 age groupings. Information and registration are on the 9 Hole Section website here. Let’s encourage the next generation! Our group supports the Classic and several of our members have attended past events. I found this quite interesting and thought you might too.
