PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Welcome to the Pro Duffers West Golf Club’s website. We are a Western States Golf Association Member Club. Our Club was founded in 1983 and is based in the City of Oxnard, California, a beach town surrounded by the beautiful Pacific Ocean.
My hometown is a great place to live and play golf with its panoramic mountain and picturesque ocean views, and over 20 public and private golf courses within a 20-mile radius here in Ventura County.
While playing golf is somewhat new to me, the Pro Duffers West Golf Club isn’t. My father was one of the early members of the Club. I recall the board members meeting at our home, the Club traveling to the WSGA Member Club tournaments and the WSGA Annual Championships – a three day, 54-hole stroke play event held on some of the most challenging, exciting and breathtakingly beautiful golf courses in the West. The Club offered lots of golf, fun, fellowship and friendships with like-minded men and women back then, and I’m pleased to say that it still does.
In 2013, I became serious about learning the game of golf. I practiced and played frequently, joined the Pro Duffers West Golf Club and became actively involved; I even won the Club Championship twice! During the Fall of 2019, I was elected the new Club president and was installed in January 2020. I’m excited about the
opportunity to grow our membership, help preserve and perpetuate the legacy of these two organizations, and to serve my Club and my community with a focus on our youth, all while enjoying the great game of golf with friends.
Our Mission is to promote friendship and comradery among the Club members through the encouragement and promotion of interest in the game of golf. We believe in giving back to the community through our outstanding Scholarship and Junior Golf Programs that run from April to October and serves boys and girls ages 7 to 17. We also promote and support the WSGA WIG – Women in Golf Initiative, and we’ve always had women golfers as members and competitors in our monthly and annual tournaments since our inception in 1983.
Among our exciting activities are our:
- Annual Awards Banquet and Semi-Formal Dance in January
- Monthly Club tournaments held 11 months a year at numerous and various southern California golf courses, and the chance to compete for the coveted Club Champion and President’s Cup title and enormous traveling trophies with all the winners’ names inscribed for perpetuity. Winners also receive a smaller version to keep.
- Annual Golf Tournament and Scholarship Fundraiser that’s been held every September for more than 35 years. Funds raised benefit our Junior Golf and Scholarship Programs and have enabled us to provide: mentoring, instruction, equipment and clothing, competitive golfing opportunities, and thousands of dollars for high school scholars headed to college.
Interested in joining our Club? We hope so and we invite you to do so. The price is right and there are many benefits of membership. I encourage you to learn more about our Club by perusing our website and following us on Facebook. You can also join us as a guest golfer at our monthly tournaments and 19th Hole Fellowships immediately following. Warning! There will be lots of trash-talk and selling of wolf tickets, but nothing and no one to fear.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or want additional information. We’d love to meet you.
Sincerely,
What Our Members Are Saying
As a member of the original founding members of the Pro Duffers West Golf Club, over the past 4 decades I have seen all the trials and tribulations of the Club evolution. Our members possessed the phenomenal ability to allow PDWGC to thrive, evolve, progress, and become the successful dedicated membership we are today, charitable, supportive of each and love the game of golf.
Upon joining the PDWGC in 1990 I discovered its essence was the great men and women members who inspired me to reach for higher levels of achievement and giving it my all, in golf, in community support and I learned a lot of meaningful life lessons.
In 2013 I first joined The Pro Duffers West GC mainly to play tournament golf under WSGA Rules as a 26 handicap in D Flight. By frequent competing in tournaments, lots of practice and with lessons I’m now a 10 handicap. The Pro Duffers West has its own Charitable events, Junior golf, and Scholarship programs awards annually.
“My father taught me golf when I was a teenager. I never took it seriously. I only played charity scramble tournaments occasionally, until I joined the Pro Duffers Golf Club in 2015. I’ve been playing my own ball regularly ever since.”
“Being a member of Pro Duffers West Golf Club has challenged me to take my golf game more seriously and work on improving my game; not only because I like winning but also it helps me do my part to help our tournaments progress more smoothly.”
Our Pro Duffers West Golf Club provides a comfortable and friendly group of people who feel like family to me and love to play golf. Moreover, our clubs Junior Golf program and Annual College Sponsorship program is an added benefit to be a part of. Come check us out.
