Guide to 2024 Events and Competitions by Stacey Hayashi

For 2024, our calendar will continue to be filled with a variety of San Diego’s best golf courses & a variety of events for all levels of golfers. We encourage all of our members to come out and join us. If you are new, we will pair you with some Chapter veterans to ensure you feel comfortable, have fun, and meet new members.

Weekday Events – We host one-weekday event per month at various golf courses, including some moderately priced golf courses. These events usually occur on Monday or Wednesday so as not to conflict with local women’s club play days.

Weekend Events – We typically host two-weekend events per month. This could include one of our Signature events.  These events usually take place on Sundays due to limited tee times, slower pace of play, and higher greens fees on Saturdays.

Signature Events – Our most popular events!  These events are always fun.  They usually include some theme or competition and end with a 19th hole with food to mix ‘and mingle, eat, and enjoy a beverage after golf.

• New Year’s Day – This event kicks off the New Year with fun golf and hosted food.
• Super Bowl – Sunday, February 12 – Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf. Wear your favorite NFL team colors or jersey, and get ready for a fun competition!
• Member Guest Events – Sunday, March 3 – Singing Hills Golf Club at Sycuan. We host two member-guest events every year. Bring a guest that we hope will want to join our Chapter after playing a day of golf with us!   The second member-guest event will take place in the Fall.  These events are always fun and include a 19th-hole nibble.
• Aloha Ball – Sunday, August 18 - Encinitas Ranch Golf Course.  Dress in Hawaiian attire; hopefully, your group will not lose the “Aloha Ball!”
• Devilish Duel, better known as “666” – Sunday, October 27 - Mt. Woodson Golf Club. This is one of our most popular partner events. Come dressed in your favorite Halloween costume and play a fun format of 6 holes of best ball, 6 holes of scramble, and 6 holes of alternate shot. Enjoy a 19th-hole lunch and our Halloween costume contest.  If you don’t have a partner, we will find one for you.
