Lots of action here at Trilogy Golf Club this week. The Ladies Club will be hosting their Winter Guest Day. The 8:00 am shotgun has 80 players involved.


This weekend we are proud to host the Toyota Junior Tour Championship. Eighty-eight of the best junior golfers in Southern California will try to put their name on the Trophy - a trophy that includes Tiger Woods and Anthony Kim. Next week the Men's Club will be doing their Holiday Event with over 80 players expected to participate.

The Azul Restaurant is slated to be open for Italian Night on Thursday night and Prime Rib on Saturday night. Your can contact Denise, our Azul Restaurant Floor Manager, for reservations and details.

We are teaming up with Jordan Outreach Ministries to conduct a raffle on Friday December 5th. The raffle prize will be a set of Bridgestone Irons to be given away on December 15th. Profit from the raffle will go to the Jordan Outreach Ministries.

Demo Day December 5th, 2008

We will be hosting a Demo Day with Adams Golf and Body Balance. Try out the newest equipment from Adams Golf and find out more on how you can get yourself in better shape to hit your new clubs.

Despite the warm temperatures up to this point we have hit December which means we could soon be hit with frost. I would like to remind everyone about our frost policy:

Once the golf course superintendent has determine how long the frost delay will be we will prepare for a forward shotgun. Players will be placed on the hole they would have been if there was no delay. Any player that is forward shotgunned on the front nine will alternate with the afternoon groups to complete their rounds. We will not mow the greens in the mornings that we have frost. This will help shorten the length of the delay. Please remember that any area of grass that you walk on during the frost delay will die. Please understand that if the course is under a frost delay so will the practice greens and the practice facility. Also remember that it is not the air temperature that you see at your house that is our concern, but the ground temperature of the turf on the golf course. Things to be aware of with frost, on nights or mornings that we have some wind we generally will not have frost. On nights and mornings that we have cloud cover we may not have frost. Nights that are very clear or mornings that are very clear is the prime for frost delays. The frost will not generally set on the golf course until just before daybreak. Please understand that frost is not a friend of anyone - the golfer, the golf course superintendent nor the golf shop staff and especially the golf course. There is never a time that we would hope for a frost delay.

Booking Tee Times between 7 am and 8 am on Thursday thru Saturday.

I would like to take this time to remind all passholders of the booking procedures for Thursday thru Saturday.

1. You have 12 days in advance to book tee times between 7 am and 8 am.

2. All tee times between 7 am and 8 am are exclusively for Annual Passholders. Daily Green Fee Players, and Coupon holders, are not allowed to book or play in this area of time. Starting December 1st 2008 we will not allow anyone other than Passholders to play at this time. We have been very understanding up to this point, you as the pass holder are responsible when booking the tee time to know what the restrictions are. Pass holders have made it very difficult with the golf professional staff showing up with guest at this time. It is a very uncomfortable situation for all. Please understand we are protecting the integrity of the Annual Pass Program when we turn away coupon holders or guests at this time.

Annual Pass holders are not allowed to book tee times between 8am and 10:30am Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Regardless of who booked the tee time, pass holders will be turned away if they show up to play in that time frame with a green fee player or a coupon holder. Starting January 1st 2009, that block of time will be moved to 8am to 11am.
