  • Message from Gil

    Good afternoon, gentlemen.  Gil McKinnie (MC Publicity) here checking in from a very smoky Manson, WA.  Our AQI has bounced around from 750 to 200 everyday for the past two weeks.  Certainly not golf worthy.  I’m reading that many of our Canadian members are also experiencing much of the same as those of us that summer in the great PNW.  We have been getting hit hard with wildfires in the Cascade Mountains and foothills.  It’s been much too dry and hot for much too long.
    I’m beginning to get the PDG bug as I’m sure the outside air is clear and desert fresh.
    This is an early email sending along your membership renewal information.  And I’m also knocking off the dust on communicating via MailChimp and sweeping the cobwebs off of this chimp(me), or is it chump?
    On the ‘good’ news front, the SCGA announced their charge to our club remains the same and with that, so does your membership renewal fee – $70.  In these inflationary times golf at PDGCC remains the best secret in the valley (shush).
    Renewal forms will also be available in the golf information room next to the golf shop.
    And this form will be published in the next PDG Bulletin.

    There you will find all the new information that has been passed along by our stellar Executive Committee.  They know you eagerly await the new season.

  • Introduction of new webmaster for Mens Golf Club Site

    Hello fellow PDG Men’s Club golfers. I am excited to announce that I will be handling our website effective April 1st, 2026. As I prepared for this endeavor, I was surprised at how few members utilize this website, but even more surprised by the fact that I could find only a few members that have even heard of it.

    It is with this in mind, our Publicity Chair, Gil McKinney, will be sending out an email blast to all members regarding the existence of this site and inviting them to respond with comments, suggestions on how they would like it updated going forward. I believe if this site is utilized correctly, it can be a great way to disseminate information to all our membership in one cohesive location.

    We are, after all paying for this site, so please reach out to me if you have any recommendations.
    You can reach me at 714-334-1962, or via email at johnmschmidt1@outlook.com

    A special thank you to our previous Webmaster, Jim Pollard, for all the hours and energy he had devoted during his tenure.

    Sincerely

    John M Schmidt

    Webmaster PDGMGC

    The regular meeting of the PDGMC will be convened on 2/17 at 9AM in the Palm Room. The agenda will include voting for the 2026-28 club officers.

    The Men’s Club ‘Club Championship Tournament’ entry forms are available in the Golf Room adjacent to the Golf Shop. Entry fee is $50 p/member. The tournament is in just 3 weeks. So get your entry in so that you don’t miss out on possible glory, fame and money.

    There will be a PDG ‘Town Hall’ meeting on March 5th at 4PM to discuss eradication of the ‘nut sedge’ and the possibility of temporary golf course closures.

    Member/Guest Tournament results will follow in a separate email later today (hopefully). Your publicity guy (me) is still producing more bogies than birdies as he navigates the nuances of mailchimp.

    Congratulations to all the winners!
    In talking to a number of guests playing in the tournament the real ‘big’ winners were the course (shout out to our superintendent, Andy), the wit and wisdom of our pro (shout out to Bob), the food (shoutout to Chef Allan and the entire support staff). And a standing ovation to all the volunteers that made the tournament a big success.
