Welcome

The La Mirada Men's Golf Club (LMMGC) would like to welcome you to our web site. We are dedicated to making our Club enjoyable, accessible and affordable for our members. LMMGC is a Club that is open to the general public and welcomes new members that share our core values. We promote sportsmanship, integrity, honesty and camaraderie through the game of golf. As our past-President, Bob Black would always say, "Remember...it's the fellowship that counts."

February President's Message

   Now is the time to begin planning your tournament schedule for the 2012 year. There are many great opportunities to play tournament golf this year, along with the monthly home and away tournaments which this year includes a 2-day event at Alisal River Course in Solvang, July 28 and 29.

   We will also have our President’s Cup beginning March 31 [See application in bulletin], the Member/Guest tournament in June, followed by the Club Championship November.

   The following are the check-in and cancellation policies for the Home and Away Tournaments for 2012 year. These policies have not changed. This is merely a reminder for the current membership and to inform all of the new members, therefore avoiding any controversy.

   Members are required to check in at least 30 minutes prior to your starting time. If your entire group is late or did not cancel, that group will not be allowed to sign up for the following home tournament until after 9:00 A.M. Each member is responsible for canceling his own starting time with Tim Schoenbaum, by 8:00 P.M. Thursday night before the tournament. No show fees will be strictly enforced on each of these issues.

   Away tournament no show fees are determined by the course that we are playing. Once our Club has passed their cancellation point, a no show fee will be assessed unless you are able to find someone to take your place. You are still responsible for payment if your replacement does not show up to the course. Please check in at the time posted by Roy in the bulletin or the Web Site.

President LMMGC

 

Jerry's Rule Corner

USGA Policy on Gambling

General,
An "Amateur Golfer" whether he plays competitively or for recreation, is one who plays golf for the challenge it presents not as a pro.

Acceptable forms of Gambling

There is no objection to informal gambling or wagering among individual golfers or teams of golfers when it is incidental to the game. It is not practicable to define informal gambling or wagering precisely, but features that would be consistent with such gambling include.

1) The players in general know each other.

2) Participation in the gambling or wagering is optional and is limited to the players.

3) The sole source or all money won by the players is advanced by the players and the amount of money involved is not generally to be excessive.

Therefore, informal gambling is acceptable provided the primary purpose is the playing of the game for enjoyment, not for financial gain.
