HALF MOON BAY WOMEN’S GOLF CLUB NEWSLETTER – AUGUST 2012
Captain’s Notes – Terry Mayes
Hello Ladies,
This month has flown by with lots of golf for all. Many congratulations to Lynne Cowan with her 5 th
place finish in the California Women’s State Championship held at Chardonnay Golf Club. I was
remiss in failing to congratulate Bonnie Gardiner in the June newsletter as she won the Palo Alto
Women’s Golf Club Championship in May. My apologies.
On July 5th, Mitz Alverson made her third career ACE on the 8th hole at Santa Clara Golf Course. Great
job!!
On July 26th, I was fortunate enough to make my first ACE at Eagle Ridge Golf Course on the 16 th hole.
On July 31st, Teri Neidigh made her third ACE at the7th hole at San Jose Country Club at the Santa
Clara County Women’s Championship.
On July 30 and 31st, the Santa Clara County Women’s Golf Championship was held at San Jose
Country Club. Mitz Alverson did an outstanding job as the Tournament Chair and put on a fine
tournament. Many of the members at Half Moon Bay that have Santa Clara County affiliations played
and supported this 70th annual tournament. Incredibly, 14 members of Half Moon Bay placed or won
their flights. An outstanding performance by all. The winners are listed below.

Co-Captain – Cathy Priest
Hoedown in the Pumpkin Patch Invitational
Attached to this newsletter is the registration form for this year’s Invitational,
Monday Oct 15 and Tuesday Oct 16. There is also a copy at the end of this
Newsletter for those who can’t open attachments.
I hope your have your foursome all lined up. Each member can bring one guest, so each foursome will
have two members and two guests. The cost per participant is $275. Checks should be made out to
HMBWGC.
NOTE: Signups will be done on a first come first served basis. We will be using a single
registration form for your foursome. You can send different checks but if you have a specific
foursome in mind, you need to send in the information and money for your foursome in the same
envelope. Remember you will need the guests’ addresses, home clubs and their GHIN numbers.
You will not be registered until we have all of the information and money. The guests will be
sent invitations.
If you don’t have a foursome, I will pair you with another member and her guest if possible. If you need
a guest, contact me and I may be able to find you one.
The activities will begin at 11:00 AM on Monday with our Putting Contest. A box lunch will be provided
before we head to our shotgun start on the Old Course at 1:00 PM. Tuesday morning we will have
breakfast at 6:45 AM with an 8:00 AM shotgun start on the Ocean Course.
If you wish to stay over we have discounts this year at both the Half Moon Bay Lodge and the Ritz. The
Half Moon Bay Lodge has a rate of $139/ night plus taxes. Make your reservations before Sept 10 and
be sure to mention the Pumpkin Invitational when you call them at 650.726.9000.
If you wish to stay at the Rtiz, they will give us a rate of $199/night plus taxes and fees. To get this rate
you must book your room through Kevin Niessner. You can reach him through the golf shop or directly
at 650-712-2222
As always we definitely need your support in either becoming a hole sponsor or helping us find hole
sponsors. The cost to be a two-day hole sponsor is $125. If a sponsor wishes to have their own sign at
the hole, the cost is $300. The benefits are advertising at the holes and recognition in our program. Not
to mention good will for the club! If you would like to do this or can help us find sponsors please contact
Cathy Priest at [email protected]
I can’t guarantee the weather, but I will remain optimistic that we will have a repeat of two years ago!

Tournament Director - Chris Goethals
First things first. Our Nadia's Gift Shotgun was an amazing success. All in Nadia's name and full of her
spirit the day was just perfect. 80 players dressed in their best "pinks" came out and spent the day
hoping they would not be the person to lose the pink ball! Fun, fun, fun. Did I mention the raffle and that
we raised $500. dollars more than last year for Nadia's Gift? All totaled we sent off to Nadia's cancer
research foundation $3186.00. Wow! I was so proud of our club and how the whole day went. Check out
the winners on Golffusion! Thank you so much to all who donated our prizes, those who came and
played and to our entire club for their support. HMBWGC ROCKS! Huge thank you to Peter Van Camp
for his support of our efforts and supplying us those wonderful Titlest "Velocity" golf balls. Thank you so
much Peter!
More big golf around the corner. September we will host some major golf competition. Right off is our
"Luau Guest Day". This tournament promises to be as much fun as last year so sign up early to not miss
out. Following the guest day shotgun is our club championship. We again will have three flights:
championship flight (for the club champion), challenger flight (open handicaps), and our endeavor flight
(all players over 60 years young). Three days of wonderful competition amongst fellow club members.
Commit early and jump on in. And then lastly we'll have our Annual Meeting Shotgun when we will play
the ABCD tournament which was rained out in April. Such a fabulous tournament, we just had to fit it in
somehow. A very full September to say the least. Rest up from summer vacations and plan on being
very busy in September at the Moon. See you there!

Team Play – Mitz Alverson
Get your games in! Just to remind our team players, you have two months left to complete your 12
game credits for eligibility for Team Play in 2013. Most of you are right on pace now. The club
championship will count as 3 games, of course. This requirement applies to everyone, including over
70's and Board members.
Our Valley Team scored 1 win, 1 tie, and 1 loss to finish the month with a tenuous hold on First Place-just one point ahead of powerhouse Palo Alto Hills. Our members out scrambling for Valley points in
July: Ginia Andersen, Fran Dogen, Danuta Eustice, Lynn Flick, Nancy Humpal, Sally Lau, Kathy Lee,
Maya Leonard, Martha McLaughlin, Kay Sabin, Co-Capt Chris Thoel, Pam Tompkins, Captain Ilene
Turtletaub, and Sylvia Yarian. Danuta seems to be our July MVP, winning all three matches big.
Everyone wants to be Danuta's partner now.
2012 league play is nearly over. Just two August matches remaining for Valley, plus one Winter League
rain make-up at Green Hills on September 20. Valley League finishes with a "Fun Day," on Monday,
August 27. Clubs are mixed into 2-best ball teams for this social event. Everyone who played in the
Valley League this season is eligible to play.
And, our Golden Gate League Championship Team will meet the other league champions at the Central

Rules – Teri Neidigh
With the Club Championship coming up soon, there are a few rules to keep in mind which could be
costly to you. There is a 2 stroke penalty if you violate these rules and they also require you to rectify
Half Moon Bay Women’s Golf Club Newsletter – August 2012
Page 4
HALF MOON BAY WOMEN’S GOLF CLUB NEWSLETTER – AUGUST 2012
your mistake before teeing off on the next hole, or in the case of the last hole, leaving the green. If not
rectified, you will be disqualified.
11-4b: playing from outside the teeing ground, 2 stroke penalty, you must replay from within the
teeing ground, if you don’t rectify before teeing off on the next tee or the if it is the last hole of the round
you leave the putting green without declaring your intent to correct the mistake, you are DQ’d.
11-5: playing from the wrong teeing ground, the same provisions as in 11-4b above apply.
15-3b: playing a wrong ball: if you make a stroke or strokes at a wrong ball you incur a 2 stroke
penalty, you must correct your mistake by playing the correct ball or by proceeding under the rules. If
you fail to correct your mistake before making a stroke on the next teeing ground or in the case of the
last hole of the round, fail to declare your intent to correct the mistake before leaving the putting green,
you are DQ’d.
20-7c: playing from a wrong place: you make a stroke from a wrong place, you incur a 2 stroke
penalty, you must play out the hole from the wrong place without correcting your error, provided you
have not committed a serious breach, i.e. gained a significant advantage. If you believe you may have
committed a serious breach, announce you intend to play a second ball per Rule 3-3, return to the area
that is in compliance with the rule and complete the hole. You must advise the Committee of your
actions before signing and returning your scorecard. Failure to advise the Committee you played a
second ball under Rule 3-3 will result in a disqualification. The Committee will review the circumstances
and determine if a significant advantage was gained. If they determine no significant advantage was
gained, you will incur a 2 stoke penalty.
Common theme: Failure to correct before teeing off on the next hole, or in the case of the last hole,
leaving the green without announcing your intention to correct the error, will result in
disqualification…..Mark you ball so you don’t accidentally confuse it with your fellow competitors and if in
doubt, announce your intention to identify your ball to your marker, mark the balls position and examine
to determine if it is your ball.
Statistician – Martha McLaughlin
FOR THOSE WHO PLAYED SATURDAY, JULY 28, 2012 AND/OR TUESDAY JULY 31, 2012 YOUR
STATS WILL BE ADDED IN SEPTEMBER’S NEWSLETTER.
This report covers the first 10 months of the 2012 golfing year, starting October 1, 2011. The first
number of the fraction by your name indicates Games Credited, and second number indicates Games
Required. If for any reason the Required number of games are not met by October 1,2012, the
remaining number of games still unfulfilled for 2012 will be added to the 2013 games required. (one
extra year to make up games in order to renew membership) Please check the monthly reports so any
discrepancies may be rectified. Be sure to report when you turn 70 years young: If you start the golfing
year at age 70, your game requirement for 2012 will be 6 games instead of 9. If you turn 70 after the
start of the golfing year, the following year’s requirement will change to 6 games. As of 2012, an added
requirement you need to know is that in order to play team play, 12 games per year is required.
Contact Martha McLaughlin with any questions regarding your game requirements.
