ne Hundred New Members in One
Hundred Days celebrating our
One Hundred Year Anniversary.
This Membership Drive kicked off on April 3rd
with a presentation to our Members by Steve
Graves, President of Creative Golf Marketing, the
firm we hired to lead us in this campaign. All
who attended left with a lot of enthusiasm and
feeling that we can accomplish this. This first day
we already had two new members with only 98
more to go to meet our goal. All of our Members are encouraged to ask their friends and acquaintances to join us in this unique drive. Read
the material you’ve been given, and you’ll agree
that it’s a “win-win” situation for both you and
the person or persons you sponsor. To quote Mr.
Graves, “The primary goal of your Board of Directors is to strengthen our Membership base and
in so doing, provide the financial foundation to
allow for the continued improvement of our extraordinary Club.”
THANKS to Garrett Becker, one of our members,
who replaced a broken caster on each of a few
chairs that were in storage at a very minimal cost;
these chairs are now back in the A. G. Spanos
Grill. Also, David Miller, CEO of Goodwill Industries, had one of their trucks in our parking lot
on March 31 to collect the electronic waste that
was in our storage; SGCC members and Stockton
Chamber members were invited to bring their
electronic waste also. These two activities completely freed up one of our storage areas.
EVENTS: The Rotary Club of Stockton had over
300 members in attendance to entertain the
International President of Rotary International
on March 31. Rotarians from throughout the
District praised our Club’s facilities, the food and
the service.

SENIORS’ CORNER
Message from Senior’s Department
Garry Potten, [email protected]
n Friday, March 21, if you were one of the
37 senior men to participate in our Senior Men’s Club kick-off tournament, you
made a great decision. Golfers arriving at the club
were greeted at the registration table by our 4 beautiful (self-named) “Check-in Chicks”; Candy, Jan, Janet, and Becky. Not a bad way to start the day, eh?
After check-in, we were treated to a scrumptious
breakfast before the round of golf. Upon completion
of our round we enjoyed a delicious lunch, which
preceded our awards ceremony. Sixteen of the 37
player field shared in the $226.00 prize fund. And
get this, the whole shebang only cost $25!! Heck,
you can’t stay at home for that little. But don’t fret,
there are plenty of opportunities left this season
with our Home and Home events.
Our first Home and Home tourney was played at
Discovery Bay on Wednesday, April 9. Twenty players
made the 35 minute sojourn to the west and enjoyed
a beautiful day of golf and camaraderie. Many players
car pooled in the SGCC parking lot at 7:00 am and
made the trip together. If you ever need a ride you
should consider taking advantage of this benefit.
Of SGCC’s 20 entrants at Discovery Bay, 10 players
shared $134.97 in prizes. Lance“Show me the money”
Rieber was a member of the winning team pocketing
$29.00 in club credit. Second place club credit for SGCC
members Roy “I can’t believe I’m in the money again”
Henderson and George “Early Riser” Retamoza, was
$18.66 of club credit. Tony “Hey I really am a Senior
Board member” walked away with closest to the pin
honors, bagging a whopping $10.00.
By the time you read this bulletin, we will have
played our second Home and Home tournament
which hopefully took place on April 25, with
Brookside, La Contenta, and Turlock playing at our
beautiful course.
On May 23 we will be visiting Oakdale CC and
June 6 Discovery Bay comes to SGCC. June 11 has
us travelling to Woodbridge. Mark your calendars
for these events…and while you are at it you can
start planning for our 2nd Annual Senior Men’s
Invitational which is scheduled for July 11th.
If you haven’t yet done so, please pick up your
handy dandy wallet sized Senior Men’s schedule at
in the pro-shop. Your Centennial Senior Men’s Roster
is also ready and waiting for you in the same locale.
Speaking of the Roster, there are a couple of
changes you might want to note:
Ray Lucas....................Change Phone to: 601-0800
...................................... Night Phone to: 478-2996
Guy Petzoid..........................Change to Guy Petzold
Hope to see you all on the course.
If profanity had an impact on the flight of the ball, the
game of golf would be played a lot better.
MEMBER PROFILE
Roy Henderson
by Kelley Spooner
5
F
or some 40 years Roy has called Stockton
Golf & C.C. his home away from home.
Whether it’s a golf game, page of gin, or
lunch in the A.G. Spanos Grill, you can bet you’ll
run into him on any given day at the club.
Sponsored in to the club by Max Freeman
and Bobby Rishwain, Roy remembers the early
days at the club as being labeled as the biggest
gambling club in the Valley. If your golf game
didn’t fair so well, likely there was a card game
or as he mentioned, a game of dominoes that
was the big thing back in the 70’s. Additionally,
he talked about the “Traditions” of the club
back then, and recalls themed dances and
tournaments. A few of the golf events were
“Irish Day”, “Okie Day”, and “Portuguese Day”, and
Holiday tournaments, most of which included
dinner & dancing. Roy remembers making so
many friends in the club and enjoying traveling
to various tournaments.
The culture of the club has certainly changed
over the years. The membership that was once
made up of families of the family businesses
that drove the city, are no longer. Many of those
businesses are gone now and replaced with the
big box stores. Roy went on to say that family
dynamics have changed in most families as both
parents are in the work place. They have many
more activities to choose from and limited time
to schedule everything.
Roy spoke of the newest clubhouse which
opened in May 2006, as being a beautiful
building with many rooms for entertaining. In
2013, Roy gathered his family for two special
occasions; a family reunion dinner and a
christening party of his youngest grandchild.
Besides the golf course, pool, and fitness club, he
went on to say he just loves the club. It’s a place I
feel safe, enjoy time with good friends, and that
has storied history, 100 years worth.

olf professional Ed Traube joined the Stockton Golf & Country Club
in 1923 and provided an incredible personality and continuity to the 1
club for 47 1/2 years, including twice serving as its general manager
during the Great Depression and also World War II, when he ran the whole
shebang. In the 1930s when the club had an $8,000 debt, Traub arranged
for six slot machines and, in three years, the debt was paid off. When the
authorities threatened to raid the place Traub tossed the slot machines into
the river. They were never recovered. Peter Ottesen

FROM THE HEAD GOLF PROFESSIONAL
Kelley’s Korner...
I
t’s an exciting time around the club these days
with many activities and the planning of so
many more to come throughout the year as we
celebrate the club’s centennial year. The Board and
the various Committees are working hard to plan
events that will commemorate this special year.
Golf activities at the club have been in full swing
since the middle of March with outside tournaments when we played host to the NCGA/NCPGA
Junior Tour. As we carve into the golf season, we
will host nearly 30 outside events throughout the
year. Additionally, SGCC will deliver many club
events such as the Men’s & Ladies Invitational’s to
be staged in May & June, respectively, just to name
a few featured events.
36 hole qualifier. His next step is to apply for the
apprentice program of the PGA and work towards
his class “A” status as a PGA Professional. Great job
Matt, keep up the good work.
And then there was my tournament in March…
the LPGA National Pro-Am at the famed Mission
Hills C.C. in Rancho Mirage, Ca. Admittedly by
default, a fellow LPGA pro went on the injured reserve, and I was called up to take over her team
and play in the event. The LPGA Pro-Am presented
by the Volvik Company, staged 27 teams made up
of 4 amateurs & 1 professional with a 2 best ball
format playing on the Dinah Shore course where
the LPGA Tour was to play the very next week.
Events are being designed for the juniors with
camps beginning at the end of June with the Jr-Jr
camp ages 4-6 years old, followed by Jr. Camps I &
II scheduled in July for the 7-17 years old players.
Registration forms will be mailed in the club billing.
Winning Gross & Net teams would receive prize
money, trophies, Volvik golf bags, and ceremonial
robes after their leap into “Poppy’s Pond” off the
18th green. Well, I didn’t get to make the leap, but
my team did WIN the Gross division of the event.
Wow, so much fun for me and thrilled to come
home a winner!
See you around the
club!

Tuesday Ladies
O
nce again, Susan Marks and Jan
Morrison presented our Tuesday
Ladies with a beautifully decorated,
great menu, and a fun game for our St. Patrick’s
Day Party. Most of our ladies turned out wearing
something green in honor of the day.
As I write this we are in the process of preparing for our April 29th neighborhood party. Invited
clubs are Brookside Country Club, Discovery Bay
Country Club, Spring Creek Golf & Country Club,
and Woodbridge Golf & Country Club. Several of
our member are helping to put this together for
exhilarating day.
The SGCC Centennial has provided our club with
much more activity than usual and due to this
some of our dates have been changed. Match Play
on April 15th and 22nd was canceled.
At this time, there are no changes reported
for May but June dates 10th and 17th have been
changed to the 17th and 24th for our Tournament of
Champions. We will not play on Tuesday June 10th
but will play Friday June 13th, as it stands now.
Joyce Belt has been hard at work preparing for
our Team Play events for the coming summer. Our
first match will be May 1st with Del Rio. It has
been a relatively quiet year so far and our turnout
has been pretty good but we’re hoping to see some
of those people that have been under the weather
or supporting their children/ grandchildren, or doing that horrible four letter word - work, to help
with the Team Play Away Tournaments. Please put
your name on the board in the Ladies Lounge.

net balls of the foursome. All players were able
to contribute for this team event! We enjoyed
festivities with a delicious luncheon which was
organized by our chairman, Lynn Cook. It was no
surprise that the teams were closely matched, but
the team of Toni Murdock, Meredith McCormack,
Bonnie Brown, Adrienne Hotchkiss and Sandy
Albaugh took first place. They were followed by
the second place team of Linda Stead, Virginia
Gall, Barbara Fichtner, Lori Daugherty and Mattie
Zedlitz. Coming in third place were Ardythe Hess,
Jana Lane, Donna Nunes, Erlene Raspo, and Lynn
Cook. Many thanks to Lynn and Kelley Spooner for
a great tournament!
Eight of our ladies also competed in our first
Team Play event at Brookside. We are happy to
report that the results were encouraging, and we
will continue to keep the competition lively. Look
for the signup sheets and go to enjoy a day while
meeting other golf enthusiasts from various clubs
throughout the valley.
On May 8th, we will have another chance to invite our friends for a Guest Day! It should be a day
of great fun as Marcia and Maureen Stonebarger
plan a day of “Cherries Jubliee”!
Reservations are flying in for our Invitational
Birthday Bash! Adrienne Hotchkiss, Susan Filios
and their committee are finalizing great plans for
our Centennial Invitational on June 19th and 20th.
Be sure to get your reservation in the mail.
See you on the course!

fter some torrential rain, aeration,
amazing golf maintenance and recovery, we feel so fortunate to be enjoying
this fabulous spring out on the links at SGCC. Life
is good and golf is great!
We officially opened our golf season by inviting golfing friends to our first Guest Day on March
13th. A special thank you to Toni Murdock and
Kelley Spooner who organized our day. Each guest
left with a commemorative ball and Centennial
marker. Winning first place that day was the team
of Gayle Jennings, Mary Westin, Jan Jordan and
Annette Brass. Second place winners were Linda
Vater, Cheryl Dinjian, JoAnne Deegan, Patti Roddick, and winning third place were Judy Hong,
Cathy Sandborn, Denise Zizzo, Georgeanne Chan.
The Transitional Learning Center was the recipient of
our Charity Day tournament this year. Sara Garfield
spoke to our ladies and expressed the importance of
this accredited school providing education for transitional students who do not qualify for a traditional
classroom due to homelessness! Through the generosity of our ladies, we donated $850 to this worthy
cause. Sara Garfield has volunteered her efforts for
twenty-three years to make a difference in the lives
of these children. Thank you to Barbara Fichtner and
Donna Nunes, our chairwomen for organizing a great
day. Thank you ladies!
Our group has just enjoyed two wonderful rounds of golf competing as teams in our
Intra-club tournament. Foursomes were evenly
matched with handicaps while playing two best

FROM THE EXECUTIVE CHEF

E
aster weekend started with the Easter
Bunny making his appearance on Saturday
followed by the Club’s traditional Easter
Brunch services. We had many compliments
from our membership and continue to seek any
suggestions to making our next big buffet better
than the last. Mother’s Day is right around the
corner and we hope that you and your family will
come and enjoy the day with us.
Our lunch, lounge, and dinner menus will be
changing on May 2nd to reflect the season and offer
more variety to our dining venues. The month of
May will continue to include Tuesday Taco Tuesday
alternating with Asian buffet, comfort food, and
three-course features in addition to all our menus.
The next Chef’s demonstration will be held on
Thursday May 29th at 6pm in the Founder’s room.
We will explore the application of Point Reyes Bleu
Cheese in three courses and the evening would not
be complete without wine. Please sign up soon!
As you have noticed the club has been extremely
busy with outside events, on Easter weekend we
held a prom of 550 young adults to turn around
and set up for our Easter Brunch the next day and
the past weeks we have served over 1000 meals
just in 3 days time. Our staff did an outstanding job
during the start of one of our busier times of the
year. We continue to service the community and
have received positive feedback on our surveys;
they are booking for next year!!
Our dining venue hours are posted in our bulletin
and as you know we have many options. One of
the issues that clubs face that restaurants do not
is variety and options in menu items. Restaurants
have a target audience and for example are ethnic
or concept based and club menus have to delve in
all areas of trends and lifestyle changes. We are
trying to meet the needs of membership in more
ways such as offering more gluten free items.
Feedback from our membership is very important
in this area; we would like to hear all feedback
good or bad so we can better meet the needs of our
membership.
On behalf of my department, we thank you for
your continued support. I have included some
photos from some of our events (see below).
Best wishes and Bon Appétit!
