Welcome to Our Yadikya Golf Club

The Yadikya Golf Club is an informal club established over eleven years ago and has steadily grown in numbers and stature over the years. Currently over 40 golfers participate in this group, and at least twenty play each week. You can find the Yadikya's playing at the Altadena Golf Course every Saturday.

This web page provides an opportunity for the Yadikya's to share their successes with each other, and will allow the members to keep up to date on the weekly competitions that occur, along with each members standing as we move toward awarding the infamous Yadikya Cup at the end of each season on June 30.

This group of golfers has been known to informally plan outings to places such as Laughlin, Nevada for golf and family fun. They are going to Santa Anita Race Track as a group. They have parties together and they have enjoyed Super Bowl at Damon's Steak House together. The Yadikya's have supported charitable golf tournaments through their group participation and sometimes through donations. This site will allow members to know about coming events on the site calendar.

It is interesting to see how such an informal group can establish its own policies, practices, and group recognition without much of the turmoil that often occurs in other golfing clubs. If you ask any of the members, they will tell you that they are proud to call themselves, "YADIKYA" members.

We look forward to sharing your self description on this blog in the near future. Please send your own self censored comments to our CIO, Larry T. at larry.tash@gmail.com and you will see your self description up on our blog in the near future too.

Yadikya Party

Our Head Dikya, aka Chuck T, and the executive committee dikyas, have decided that the 2010 end of the year party and awards lunch will be held on Saturday, July 10th at the Mi Casita Restaurant following our regular round of golf. Trophy, including the Yadikya Cup, and special recognition for the year will be announced and awarded.

This is a great restaurant because of the great food and because it gives us privacy for acting like ourselves without bothering the regular population of the East Valley. Lunch will be dutch treat from the restaurant menu.

See you all there on July 10.

Chuck, the CEO, Gets Hole in One

April 24, 2010
Our CEO, Chuck, got his second hole-in-one this year. However, this was his first while playing with Yadikya. Yep, the hole-in-oner had to buy drinks for everyone. After the bill of over $300 was paid, Chuck did okay. Congratulations Chuck.

May 1, 2010
Many of the Yadikya members supported the Make A Wish Foundation with nice donations to the cause. Rick B actually hit his T-shot on Number 4 inside the circle and earned a bonus from the foundation. Once again many Yadikya members were not just playing golf, but helping others who are less fortunate.

May 8, 2010
The semi-final matches for the Yadikya Match Play tournament will be played. This year's winner will be honored on this web page later in the month of May. Good luck to all who are still in the running. Thanks Rick B for putting on this annual tournament.

June 2010
Many of the Yadikya members will be supporting the Knights of Columbus later in June. This charity golf tournament has been a memorable annual event that many of our members support. It is interesting to see how many of the raffle prizes are taken home by Yadikya members. This year the tournament will again be played at the San Dimas Golf Course. If you are interested in joining in on the fun and having the great steak meal following the tournament, contact Rich T on Saturday or by e-mail.
