The Men ’ s Club 9-Hole Group
Charbonneau has an active Men ’ s 9-Hole Group with quite a history . Brian Horler , a native Englishman from Somerset and 14-year Charbonneau resident , was instrumental in forming this group . Seeing the desire of some to play nine instead of 18 holes and to be part of the Men ’ s Club , Brian took the lead , with excellent support from Chris Bensel . At one time there were 20 members . They had memorable husband and wife banquets — always with a “ theme ,” and also with a putting contest ! More fun banquet news at a later date . Today , Brian Horler no longer plays nine ; however the 9-Hole Men ’ s Club Group still enjoys tee time blocks on Wednesday and Friday mornings for this season .
Three current 9-Hole players and close friends took advantage of the warm sunny weather in Yuma , Arizona this February . Herman Stonebraker , Tim Bonino and Richard McLeod decided to test their golfing skills on several courses around Yuma . With high hopes and a bottle of “ birdie juice ” on hand , they set out to conquer the desert game . Unfortunately , the course fought back , and the birdie juice remained untouched for the rounds . They are happy to be back up north , and more than ready to start the season .
Rules of golf
The Men ’ s Club sponsored a Rules and Handicap Seminar on Thursday , April 7 which was open to all Charbonneau golfers . Almost 50 golfers showed up to get some helpful reminders from Jim Gibbons , our resident expert on such matters .
Jim was the OGA executive director for 13 years . By learning the rules of golf , he was selected to be a rules official at many local , state , regional and national championships . He has worked more than a dozen U . S . Women ’ s and U . S . Senior Men ’ s Opens over the years . By the way , Jim was also the 2010 Men ’ s Club champion here at Charbonneau . Thank you , Jim , for sharing some of your knowledge with us !
Remember , if there is a rules dispute during the round , its best to deal with it after the round is complete when the Pro Shop can assist with the final answer . A second ball may be played , without penalty , on the hole as that allows resolution of the dispute upon completion of the round . You must report the facts of the situation before turning in your scorecard . ( Rule 20.1c )
