Presidents Letter
April 18th, 2024 posted by Bob PodoloffCMGC Presidents Letter
Our May general meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 14. A BBQ dinner starts at 5:00pm, with the meeting starting at 6:00pm. We encourage all members to attend. The dinner is a great opportunity to get an update on the Club and meet other members.
Faced with rising costs, and in order to maintain the strong financial position of the Club, your Board has unanimously voted to recommend raising the annual dues by $15 and increasing the initiation fee from $300 to $400. Those currently on the waitlist will be grandfathered at $300. A vote on these increases will be held at the May general meeting.
CMGC has not raised dues or the initiation fee for at least 10 years. Tournament entry fees will not increase, and the food and beverage credit of $30 per tournament will remain unchanged. The Board works hard to maintain the right number of members in the club to fill our tournaments, with as few players as possible on the standby list. With the ability to play on the wonderful Coronado golf course, CMGC membership remains a great value. No wonder we have a 5-6 year waitlist!
We will again be holding our golf club/ball drive for Pro Kids – First Tee of San Diego. Donate your used clubs and balls to Pro Kids, a local non-profit dedicated to growing the game of golf while supporting youth in need. Drop them off at the pro shop beginning April 29, or bring them to the May general meeting. Two years ago CMGC members donated a whole van full of clubs and balls, which the kids really appreciated.
I would like to congratulate all the winners of last year’s major tournaments:
President’s Cup: Pat Rolfe
Max Leslie: Scott Smith
SCGA Four Ball: Roman Lansang, Joe Ramos
Senior Club Champion: Stephen Miles
Member-Member: Ken Hafner, Rick Asher
Club Champion: Daryl Green
Board of Governors: Mark Armstrong
Savvy Huffman: Ken Kubis, Daryl Green
Lastly, I would like to thank all our Board members and volunteers. We take great pride in our amazing golf Club. Please reach out to myself or any other Board member with questions, concerns, or suggestions.
See you at the General Meeting.

CMGC Team Play Update
April 15th, 2024 posted by Paul AlbitzTeam Coronado’s playoff match was delayed by rain until April 6. As players were driving to the course over the bridge, it was suddenly closed due to a potential jumper. Several members of both teams were stuck on the bridge for over 2 hours and arrived just in time to play 9-hole matches. To make matters worse, our team only had 15 eligible players for the playoff, so we were one man short at El Camino.
Team Coronado put up a valiant effort against El Camino. Despite being a man short, we lost by the narrowest margin of 25-23. Team members were sad to see the season end but proud of what we accomplished this season.

CMGC Team Play
March 26th, 2024 posted by Paul AlbitzTeam Coronado is getting the attention of the local golf community with its successful team play.
We participate in the SCGA Weekend Team Play and in the San Diego County Seniors Golf League.
The SCGA league is composed of clubs throughout Southern California. It’s a short season with only 6 regular season home and away matches. Our opponents are Torrey Pines, San Vicente, and Steele Canyon. After losing our first match at Torrey Pines, we won 4 consecutive matches including two away matches at Steele Canyon and San Vicente. That set up a winner take all final match against Torrey Pines where Coronado prevailed.
Our first playoff match was against Balboa Park whose team has a reputation for winning year after year. But Coronado played tough and defeated them by a fairly large margin. Next up is El Camino CC on Apr 6. If Coronado wins, we would be the last team standing in San Diego County.
Our senior team is in a league with 15 other clubs in the county. The team has qualified for the playoffs for the past 8 years and has started the 2024 season 4-0.
These teams are doing their best to represent the CMGC and to make our members proud!
