Eastside Senior Golf Association
established in 2005

Your Subtitle text

This Eastside Senior Golf Assocaition is made up of senior golfers from six different golf clubs on the eastside of Oregon. Those clubs are - La Grande Country Club, Alpine Meadows Golf Course - Enterprise, Quail Ridge Golf Course - Baker City, Buffalo Peak Golf Course - Union, Echo Golf Club and the Pendelton Country Club.

First of all the Board wants to thank all of you for making the Eastside Senior Golf Association such a success. The idea when we started this seven years ago was to provide a way for golfers in the area to get together and enjoy each others course and get to know our fellow golfers from around Eastern Oregon. I think we have succeeded! We had 123 members this year and we challenge you to enlist at least two new members from your course in 2014 to put us over 130 members. Look around next spring and see who is not a member and let them know how you enjoy it and encourage them to come and play and event and join if they had a good time.

Pentleton Country Club, the last event of the year was played on Monday, October 14th. The results are posted on the Events Results tab.

I will be getting the year-to-date points all figured out and then check with Mel Elder on monies available for point money. Mel will then get monies to each club representative to distribute. (For those of you from Buffalo Peak, Phil Mendiguren has taken over for Ralph Howell from now on. Ralph comes back late from the South each spring and leaves early, so he thought it was better that a local took care of this. Thanks Ralph!)

So, hope you all had a great season and take care. I am doing great and plan on seeing all of you on my return to ESGA in 2014.

Also, please notice of dues increase from $80 to $90 per year. These extra dollars will be given to the golf clubs since we have not increased what we pay them per round since we started the ESGA. They have not asked for increase, but we think it is only fair to them and they have been super in hosting us through the years. It should benefit each club about $200 per event! Thanks for your understanding. This is still the best golf value around - seven rounds of golf and chance to earn money back each year!!

___________________________________________________

Please complete your score cards after playing. There were about 20 cards with no totals or net. It is a big help to me if I don't have to be "scorekeeper" too!!!!
_______________________________
When we play the nine hole courses, PLEASE TRY AND PLAY WHEN YOUR CLUB IS SCHEDULED - IF YOU HAVE A GOOD REASON TO HAVE TO PLAY AT A DIFFERENT TIME, WE UNDERSTAND - BUT we would not like you to change times just because you don't like to play at time scheduled !!!! The purpose of the two tiered time is to balance the load on the golf course. THANKS
