AEG Southern California Section’s 3rd Annual Golf Outing to Benefit the Martin Stout Fund
The Southern California Section of AEG held their 3rd Annual Golf Outing at Tierra Rejada Golf Club in Moorpark on Friday, August 15, 2008. The event is held to benefit the Martin Stout Fund of the AEG Foundation. In keeping with tradition, the event was held at a course providing some geologic interest and member Scott Simmons of Gorian and Associates was on hand (with exhibits) to present findings of his work on the property to the group. In brief, the property is traversed by a potentially active trace of the Simi Santa Rosa Fault with attendant fault-related features such as landslides and unconformable contacts between geologic units. Thanks to Scott and Gorian and Associates for providing color!
This year's event was won by the two-man team of Mike Phipps and Shaun Simon of Geolabs-Westlake Village. Congratulations Mike and Shaun! Second Place was shared by the two-man teams of Paul Kim/Dave Benson and Martin Lieurance/Jeff Kofoed all of Grover-Hollingsworth, also located in Westlake Village. Well done Paul, Dave, Martin, and Jeff! Individual prizes were won for closest-to-the-pin by Lee Gonrab (non-member associate of Earth Resources) inching out Donnallee Simmons of team Gorian on Hole #2, Jon Relyea of Earth Resources on Hole #14, and Martin Lieurance of Grover-Hollingsworth with a spectacular shot on Hole #17. Mike "Big Dog" Phipps out-distanced all to win longest drive on Hole #16. Congratulations to all on their individual performances!
As in previous years, the event was a financial success as well as a fun outing and the Section will be donating all proceeds to the Martin Stout Fund. Special thanks to Buzz Spellman as the official photographer for the event, and to Shaun Simon for keeping statistics. Honorable mention to Lee Gonrab for returning his individual prize as a donation to the fund in the spirit of the event.

The 2007, 2nd Annual AEG Southern California Section Golf Tournament (proceeds to benefit the Martin L. Stout Fund) was held on Friday, July 13. It was held at the Los Verdes Golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes (a public course). Following the tournament was a catered BBQ at Point Vicente Interpretive Center Park. It was a beautiful setting on the bluff overlooking the Pacific. The food was outstanding, the company better, and apparently beer consumption was OK with applicable authorities. The ultimate view was seeing blue whales spouting on the horizon. Hope you can join us next year.

The 2006 AEG Southern California Section’s first annual golf tournament the Inaugural at Industry Hills was held on August 4. The event was held to benefit the Martin L. Stout Fund of the AEG Foundation. Although the turnout was lighter than we had optimistically anticipated, we had a solid turnout of both members and sponsors, and a good time was had by all. We achieved a modest, but significant surplus to donate to the Fund. We look forward to building on the success of this event to raise even more money for the scholarship prior to the 2007 National meeting at Universal City.
