Thanks for the members who participated, it was great to get back out and play, even with all the new procedures. It is vital we follow all of them in order to keep our tournaments. And as always, remember, keep up with the group in front. The pace of play both days was great, but better on Sunday. Take care and stay safe.

The Coronado Men’s Golf Club’s temporary weekend tournament format will allow members to sign up on the scheduled dates with no payment necessary until further notice. There will be scoring using Golf Genius only and chits will be paid out to both flights.  Those that do not use Golf Genius will not participate in the tournament or the chits. The Board will not ask volunteers to put themselves at risk or to put members at risk. As always, if you have been assigned a tee time and choose not to play, please ensure you call the Pro Shop and cancel your time. The following are the rules for play:

To ensure our members safety, Coronado Golf Course has adopted the following golfer protocol as outlined by the County of San Diego.

The Coronado Men’s Golf Club’s temporary weekend tournament format will allow members to sign up on the scheduled dates with no payment necessary until further notice. If you’d like to play April 4th & 5th, sign up as usual on the website (above). Those that signed up and paid previously have been refunded. The Board will not ask members or volunteers to put themselves at risk during this time, so there will be no tournament operations (payments, scoring, chits) except for assigning tee times.  The city of Coronado has decided to keep the course open, but the Pro Shop will be closed.  As always, if you have been assigned a tee time and choose not to play, please ensure you call the Pro Shop and cancel your time.  You will be able to pay at the Pro Shop window and carts will be available and disinfected after each use.  There will not be sand bottles and the flags and rakes should not be touched.  We ask that all members take appropriate precautions such as social distancing and not playing if you are sick. We will post and send out further information as it happens.

The weekend tournament committee has begun using Golf Genius for real-time scoring. Please be patient as we go through the transition process. Also because of the transition, several 2020 tournaments will only use the World Handicap System course handicaps instead of the past Local Handicaps. Please see the information on downloading the Golf Genius App here or any APP store. If you have any questions, please see us in the office, thanks.
