OGGS Annual Meeting 2014 – Report Sandy Gray wins the Triple Crown. On Saturday 4th October, 30 golfers ventured out onto the links of the Golf House Club Elie, with Benjamin Gray and David Rennie leading the field out at 0930 in the wind and rain. In the penultimate group of the day, in the sunshine and with a scratch score of 70, Sandy Gray won the Boyes Cup by 2 strokes from Jim Patrick. His nett score of 67 was also good enough to win the Neish’s Cup and the Tullis veterans – the first time in OGGS history that all 3 trophies have been won by the same player. The ladies trophy was won by Sian Gordon – her third time of winning. Dinner numbers were good at 42 with first time appearances from Will Sanderson who delivered an excellent grace, Jamie Skinner, Donald Skinner and Nigel and Catriona Christie. Tom Walker ran affairs with efficiency and good humour. Our guests were the Warden Gordon Woods and his wife Emma, Craig Fleming (Director of Alumni Relations), Mike Dougal (GHC Elie Captain), and our guest speaker Willie Biggart and his wife Barbara. After dinner, Gordon Woods gave us his last ever ‘Warden’s update’, Willie Biggart entertained us with a toast to the OGGS and Stephen Titterington has the room chuckling with his reply on behalf of the OGGS. On Sunday 5th October, 18 golfers were joined by 5 Glenalmond pupils and Peter Golden, master i/c golf. It was a ‘Skinner Sweep’ with Jamie Skinner winning the David Stocks Memorial Tankard with 40 stableford points and his son, Fergus winning the boys’ competition with 37 points.

106th SCGA AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Bob Thomas (323) 257-3817 (eves); (818) 980-3630 (days) Internet: http://www.scga.org/tourney/hotlist.cgi E-mail: [email protected] Tim Hogarth, Don DuBois head field for 104th SCGA Amateur Championship NORTH HOLLYWOOD, June 29, 2005 — Defending champion Tim Hogarth of Northridge and newly crowned California Amateur champion Don DuBois of Newport Beach head a field of 84 golfers who will tee it up in the 106th Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) Amateur Championship July 8-10 at Tijeras Creek Golf Course in Rancho Santa Margarita. This will be just the fourth time that the SCGA’s premiere championship — the nation’s second-oldest, contin- uously contested amateur golf championship — will be played at a public course. Tijeras Creek GC is the home course of SCGA President Bill Cunerty, who is also the golf coach at Saddleback College in nearby Mission Viejo. It’s also just the fourth time that the tournament has been held in Orange County; the last one was in 1995 when Charlie Wi won at Santa Ana CC. The 72-hole stroke play event will include 36 holes on Friday, followed by a cut to the low 42 scorers and ties. That group will play 18 holes each on Saturday and Sunday. Tee times begin at 7:30 a.m. each day. Gallery is welcome at no charge. The 39-year-old Hogarth is seeking to become just the sixth player in history to successfully defend his title, which he won last year at Hillcrest CC in Los Angeles with a 1-under-par 279.

Alec Weinberg seconded the motion. The minutes were approved unanimously. I. General Operations Report Jamie reported that as of April the course is up 1,194 to 2014. It has been a good start in 2015 with an increase of $60,538 which is just over an 18% growth in revenues. Cart fees are up $14,157 to prior year mostly due to the $1.00 increase. Operating expenses are up 4% to prior year due to the increase in labor as a result of better weather and more play through April. Triple Crown has increased by 10 members. Alec asked what the current membership is at this point. Jamie reported that it is 78. The IGA is now at its highest number ever at members. On a monthly basis we hold golf tournaments for this group with about 50 men participating, some of which is a result of some of the closures of area courses.

2004 PGA TOUR Media Guide / 1-1 Table of Contents
A Message to the Media n behalf of the players and staff, welcome to the 2004 PGA TOUR season. We appreciate your continued interest in our sport, and we clearly recognize the extent to which our success is tied to the thorough and professional coverage we receive from a Owide variety of global media outlets. As the PGA TOUR begins another great season, we can truly state that the image and competitive spirit of our players has led to the healthiest state in the history of our organization. The Sports Business Journal recently reaffirmed this when it published the “2003 League Report Card,” a survey of corporate sponsors’ opinions of their investment in sports properties. The PGA TOUR ranked first in overall satisfaction among the 16 major sports. This is important as we continue to raise the exposure of our tournaments, provide significant value to our sponsors and showcase the widespread excellence of our athletes. The competition level on the PGA TOUR in 2003 was at an all-time high, with season-ending honors going down to the wire. Tiger Woods recorded a season-high five victories and the lowest stroke average on TOUR and garnered a fifth consecutive Player of the Year honor. Vijay Singh won four times and captured his first money title. Davis Love III won a career-high four times, includ- ing THE PLAYERS Championship, making 2003 the first time in 30 years where three players won four or more times in a season. However, the depth of the TOUR was never more evident. Eleven players age 40 or older combined to capture 15 PGA TOUR titles.

Sorenstam Victory Caps Another Record-Setting
Sorenstam Victory Caps Another Record-Setting Season; Uses Callaway Golf FT-3 Driver, HX Tour Golf Ball to Win ADT Championship for Tenth Title and Sixth Title Defense of 2005 November 21, 2005 CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 2005--Callaway Golf (NYSE:ELY) Staff Pro Annika Sorenstam closed out the 2005 regular season on the LPGA Tour by reaching a pinnacle rarely achieved in golf, earning her 10th win of the season at the ADT Championship. With her two-stroke victory yesterday over the three golfers who tied for second, Sorenstam again stepped into the company of the legendary Mickey Wright as one of only two golfers who have reached 10 or more wins in an LPGA season. Sorenstam's round of 3-under-par 69 Sunday at the difficult Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach put her at 282, six under par for the 72-hole event. The win was her 66th and placed her third on the all-time victory list behind Kathy Whitworth (88) and Wright (82). For the year, Sorenstam won half the events she entered, compiling an amazing record of 10 wins in 20 starts. At her present pace, she would catch Whitworth early in the 2008 season. "I am still 22 wins away," said Sorenstam, who captured her sixth Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average, finishing at 69.33, fourth best in LPGA history and more than 1.5 strokes ahead of runner-up Cristie Kerr. "It seems like so much but, again, I am on my way. That's what really pushes me -- to do what nobody else has done." As winner of the Rolex Player of the Year, the Vare Trophy and the LPGA money title with $2.6 million in earnings, Sorenstam takes the Triple Crown of women's golf for the fifth time, an unprecedented achievement in a career that has seen many.
