| Other: | Sunol Palm is a long layout from the Blues or Whites. Bring your long ball and be ready to bust every shot. It was designed in 1968 by Clark Glasson, as was Sunnyvale Muni. The clubhouse, at that time, was a state-of-the-art facility built to accommodate parties and weddings. It must be 15,000 square feet. The restaurant serves an excellent breakfast or lunch. Allow enough time and treat yourself

Let's open up 2012 with some home cooking. Best Ball, choose a partner and let's play all out and football playoffs afterward. Weather could be an issue here. This will be the first chance to try out the newly installed cart paths, to allow play in case of inclement weather is why they were installed. Hopefully the sun will be out, but bring your gear just in case.

| Other: | The course, once a U.S. Navy golf course, is located adjacent to the Monterey Fairgrounds. In 2008, it was closed and completely renovated. A new clubhouse, new course routing, fairways, greens, and bunkering were included in the rework. Renamed Monterey Pines, it reopened in the summer of 2009. It is just absolutely wonderful. Don't let its length and par fool you, it is a real challenge. Tall Monterey Pines, water, moderately contoured greens, and close proximity OB's make you work for your score. It is a gem on the Peninsula.
Blue Tees: 66.7 / 107 5,409 yds Course website Map to course. |

| Other: | Driving range available. This course in San Leandro, previously known as the Tony Lema Golf Course, is fairly wide open, but very exposed to the wind. You can let the big stick hunt here, but it helps to know where to hit it on some of the holes. The course finishes with a short par-4 that might be close to drivable for the big hitters if the wind is with you. Gift certs will be paid out in American Golf gift certificates.

| Other: | Driving range available. Designed by William Bell, his other works include Castlewood C.C. (Hill Course), Alameda (Earl Fry / Jack Clark), and Lake Tahoe Golf Course. Dont let the low slope fool you, better be long and straight here. This is a great area in Palo Alto. The ballfield off of holes #11 and #12 and the sounds of the small planes at the airport make for an enjoyable day. Course website Map to course. |

| Cut-off date: | 02-08-12 |
| Other: | A journey back to the Monterey Peninsula for an SMGC favorite course, co-designed in the 1920's by a Jack Neville. His other works include Pebble Beach. This is the poor man's Pebble. Though not at all in the same category, the similarities are worth trip. Morning fog and sea mist require you take more club extra club for your shots. The greens are as small as Pebble but not as quick. The rye and Bermuda grass make the pitch and run shot doubly difficult. After your round, enjoy lunch in the newly renovated restaurant. They serve a great burger.

| Tournament: | 02-25-12 -- SUMMITPOINTE |
| Tournament Director: | Bob Heihn (408-557-8653) |
| Format: | Point Par, Split Tees. First starting time is 9am. |
| Max # of players: | 24 |
| Cost per player: | $58/cart. |
| Cut-off date: | 02-15-12 |
| Other: | Summitpointe is a definitive "local knowledge" course. Unpredictable caroms are the rule on a quirky layout shoehorned in amongst steep hillsides. The property rises about 300 feet above I-680, and excellent views of Silicon Valley are offered from the first few holes. The course's best stretch of holes are laced through a grassy canyon, starting at #11 and continuing up to the fabulous par 3 16th. COURSE'S BEST: #16 Par 3 199/178/122 yds. From a tee box elevated some sixty feet above the putting surface, you can see most of the green, but little of the danger posed by a reed-filled pond which protects the front and left side of the target.
Blue Tees 71.3 / 133 / 6329 yds White Tees 70.1 / 131 / 6061 yds Course website Map to course. We are past the cut-off. Contact Bob Heihn (408-557-8653) to see if there are any openings. |

| Other: | The Lake Chabot Golf Course is one of three municipal golf courses in the City of Oakland. It was established in 1923 and is located in the Oakland Hills with stunning panoramic views of the City of Oakland, Bay Bridge and Lake Chabot Regional Park. It was originally designed by William Lock then redesigned in 1989 by Robert Muir Graves. Comprehensive re-seeding, fertilization and improved irrigation have significantly improved course conditioning and playability, while a complete remodeling of the property's historic Spanish-style clubhouse - including an upgrade to the Chabot Cafι and enhanced banquet and catering capabilities - make it the ideal location for settling your bets after the round.
