Lone Tree [Event Canceled]
2026-03-15 10:00 - 15:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Lone Tree, 4800 Golf Course Rd, Antioch, CA, 94531, United States
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED
After yesterday’s Zone qualifier, I was advised by member John McDaniel that he played Lone Tree last week, and found it to be in less than desirable conditions. Apparently there is some work in progress there, and things are not conducive to an enjoyable golfing experience, which of course we want to provide for everyone. Accordingly, I have decided to cancel the March 15 away tournament at Lone Tree GC. I hope nobody is too disappointed.
However, I did make a call or two, and have come up with a replacement tournament! On Sunday March 29, which is currently an “open” date on the schedule, we will be playing at Diablo Creek GC. So, scrub the March 15 event at Lone Tree GC from your calendars, and add in Diablo Creek on the 29th instead. Hope to see another great turnout!

ROSS TROPHY
The Milton K. Ross Perpetual Trophy Honor Board tournament began in 1943 with a trophy donated by Milton Ross, a Berkeley taxi company owner and known as the “golfing cabbie.” Ross was one of Tilden Park Golf Club’s earliest members, playing most of his amateur rounds at Tilden. He became so enamored of golf that he dropped everything to become a pro golfer, succeeding only to the extent of becoming an assistant pro at a few golf clubs and ending up in Las Vegas from whence he disappeared.
FORMAT: Two person teams (members making up their own teams) play 18 holes of better-ball medal play at handicap. The 16 low net teams advance to a 72 hole, better-ball match play competition.

Handicaps are re-calculated by the Top Ten Director(s) so as to allow for no strokes on hole #18. A player with the highest score on each hole is eliminated. Ties are settled with a Chip-Off, all chip-off participants being obligated to turn away from seeing each player’s chip. Measurements for chip-offs are made using the traditional Gimme Stick.
