Welcome Back
After a three month hiatus, which included many days of much needed rain and some mud-spattered practice rounds, the Fog
City Linksters are eagerly poised to launch the 2010 Season. The inaugural Tournament will be held on Monday, March 15,
at the San Jose Municipal Golf Course.
The 2010 Schedule has been finalized and is posted on the Tournaments Page. All nine events will be held in the
immediate Bay Area and should provide an appealing challenge for players of all ability levels. As agreed upon by the
members, all Tournaments will be held on Mondays. Remember, that in order to save money on green fees, we will attempt to
schedule several continuous tee times rather than arrange formal tournaments. Therefore, it is very important that we remain
flexible and check with the Tournament Chairman during the days preceding each Tournament in case there are any last
minute changes. All entry fees will be made in cash and include Green Fees plus Prize and Skin money.
As of this writing, we have 20 golfers who have stepped up to ensure that our Golf Club continues to be a viable organization.
We are pleased to welcome our newest member, Dick Hamblin, to the land of the Linksters. Remember, new members are
always welcome and can be recruited throughout the Season. Although several senior members enter the Season with
artificial, renovated, or fewer body parts, all are optimistically looking forward to a successful year. Thank goodness pain
medications and performance enhancing drugs are not prohibited during Tournament play.
The following people have volunteered to serve in leadership positions for the 2010 Season: President, Joe Tomsic;
Treasurer, Rich Lucett; Tournament Director, Gary Barsocchini; Handicap Chairman, Charlie Barca.
Please bear in mind that the success our Club is directly related to the number of golfers who participate in the monthly
Tournaments. Although some conflicts are inevitable, you are encouraged to play in as many Tournaments as possible. Let’s
make every effort to support the Fog City Linksters as we journey through the 2010 Season.
Tournament Procedures
Each Tournament has an assigned Chairman. The Chairman is responsible for contacting the golf course, scheduling the tee
times, arranging the foursomes, and filling out the scorecards with each players current Index. On the day of the Tournament
the Chairman will collect the entry fees and prize money. The Chairman (with assistance), should also compile the statistical
data to determine the winners and Closest to the Pin awards. Skins are not part of the official Tournament and are usually
completed by another volunteer.
In order to provide consistency and expedite the Tournament registration process, Gary Barsocchini will email all the Pre-
Tournament Announcements, collect the names of the current participants, and communicate with the Tournament Chairman
regarding other pertinent details. Prior to the Tournament, he will also email updated information as it becomes available from
the Chairman. Go to the Email Entry Intent tab to view the current Tournament information and click on the email address to
register for the event.
You may have noticed that the NCGA is now computing Indexes on the first and fifteenth of the month. This should keep
Handicap Chairman Charlie Barca on his toes. It may also mean that the current Indexes may not be available until the actual
day of the Tournament.
March Tournament
As noted in the opening paragraph, the initial Tournament of the year will be held on Monday, March 15, at San Jose
Municipal Golf Course. Bob Brandi has volunteered to serve as Chairman of this event. Bob has informed me that he has
to leave for his annual coaching duties in Italy earlier than expected and will not be able to participate in the Tournament. He
will, however, arrange the tee times and complete as many Tournament tasks as possible prior to his departure. Thanks, Bob,
for doing as much as you can and good luck working with your Italian baseball players.
Note that the deadline for registering for the San Jose Muni Tournament is February 28. Email your Intent to
Participate to Gary Barsocchini at webmaster@fogcitylinksters.com.
In previous versions of the Tee Times, I have attempted to provide a brief preview of the current Tournament Golf Course.
Because all of the courses have been on the schedule in prior years and I really don’t have anything new to present, this
feature will no longer be included. You are encouraged to view the Tournaments Page and click on the appropriate link to
visit the course website.
Website and Tee Times Newsletter
The Newsletter will be posted at this website on a monthly basis. The primary focus of the Newsletter will be to report the
results of the most recent Tournament and inform the members of details regarding the venue and registration for our
upcoming Tournament. Hopefully, it will be published closely following the conclusion of each monthly Tournament.
The Announcements Section will be revised on a regular basis, so make it a habit to check the Website for the most current
information. Whenever there is an important update posted on the Website, members will be notified via email. Suggestions
and/or problems regarding the website are welcome. Contact me at webmaster@fogcitylinksters.com
Keep swinging…..Gary
