One of the best players anywhere who eschews tournaments, "MD" Mike, AKA "Big Run-up Mike" also falls in the group of "one of the nicest guys you'd ever wish to meet" category...a not-too-scant category of people whom play Eldo. Here Mike putts on # 6.

 

 

     Matt Hibben when he was an intermediate amateur player, receiving an award at the 2000 SoCal Championships. Now competing at the Open [or 'pro'] level, Matt is a frequent 'placer' amongst the best. Another really nice guy, too!

 

 

Jerry Koon, AKA "Koonie", AKA "Koon Dog", AKA "Larry Tate" [all self-designated monikers] is easily recognizable for his attire-or lack thereof-even in the coldest weather. Jerry has that most-endearing ability to laugh at himself; it's all good!

 

 

 

Dan Duron, a world-class Pro, competing in the November, 2001 Eldo Monthlie.

 

Technically a Sylmar representitive,  Dan and 'Team Odyssey" partner Christopher Brophy both consider El Dorado their 'home' course'. Is this redundant?: Both Chris and Dan are really nice guys.

 

     Frank "that's right" Segura tees-off on hole #5.

     An arrow-straight, albeit not long-distance driver, Frank is still one of the best putters here...perhaps no one makes more 40+ foot shots than Frank, a diehard Rams fan. In back, l-r: Innova molder and SoCal TD chris Blampain, Big D Pat, Chuck Allen, Jim 'Cros' Crosby.
