This summer, Mayacama began working with a new beekeeper from Sebastopol to expand upon our apiary, with the goal of producing a higher quality and quantity of honey. If you haven't yet seen the hives, next time you're on the course, take a look past the pond on the 16th green.

Clayton Cook of Straightline Bee Company came on board to help us install a new queen bee in one of the hives that had not been producing as well as the other hives, and he has been maintaining the colony for us on a regular basis.

"I really enjoy coming up to Mayacama to care for the apiary here. It's a beautiful spot and all the staff I've been introduced to so far have been very welcoming and interested in what we're trying to accomplish with the hives. I love that the products from the hives here go straight into the kitchen to be used by Chef Scott and his crew to enhance the dining experience of those who eat in the Club. It's a natural fit and part of what makes Sonoma County such a special place to live, work, and play. I'm looking forward to being part of what makes the Club special for those who visit it as well as those who work here," says Clayton.

The ability to produce our own honey on property allows Executive Chef Scott Pikey the opportunity to create amazing dishes with flavors unique to Mayacama.

"We're very excited to have Clayton on board to help take the program to the next level," says Executive Chef Scott Pikey.

We are thrilled to share that all the hard work has paid off and Clayton and Scott have harvested some high-quality honey and honeycomb from the hives this year, which are utilized in various dishes on the current Autumn menu.

The marvel of nature and these little insects taking pollen from native plants and turning it into liquid gold with a bit of help from us is indeed a rewarding experience. We hope you as Members feel the same way!

MORE ABOUT CLAYTON

Q: Can you tell us a little more about Straightline Bee Co?
A: "I have a business called Straightline Bee Co. I maintain hives, raise queens, sell bees, honey, and hive products. I also do structural removals from buildings and other similar structures when bees take up residence in them, which is how I was first introduced to Mayacama. I removed a colony from the maintenance building this spring that had been in the peak of the eave for a few years."

Q: How did you get started in beekeeping?
A: "I learned about bees from my grandfather when I was young, but I didn't take it up myself until about 10 years ago."

Q: How many different colonies do you look after?
A: "I have about 45 or 50 of my own colonies that are distributed between 5 different apiaries around Sonoma County, all the way from west of Petaluma, to West County and in the city limits of Santa Rosa. I can't get enough of working with bees and try to learn new skills each year as well as learn from my past experiences with the bees."

ST. ANDREW’S DAY FOURSOME MEDAL TOURNAMENT
FRIDAy, NOVEMBER 30 | 12:00 pm Shotgun Start

Please join us for the Inaugural St. Andrew’s Day Foursome Medal Tournament. We expect this event to mirror the St. Patrick’s Day Four-Ball, being played “Rain or Shine," with Teams consisting of two Members, or one Member and one invited guest. The format is Foursome Medal Play, where two competitors play as partners and play one ball alternately during the play of each hole. This is one of the least played formats, and we thought it would be a great way to end our season, we start with St. Patrick and we’ll end with St. Andrew!

Join us as we begin a new annual tradition at Mayacama!

Entry Fee: $150 per person or $300 per team.

38th Annual Trans-Miss Four-Ball Championship Results

As you know, Mayacama Golf Club hosted the Trans-Miss Four-Ball Championship last month, and we are thrilled to announce that one of our own members, Paul Balatti was the Senior Champion of the tournament. Mark Martin, another member, took third in the Senior Division. We thank all our Members for their support during the few days we were closed in order to host the event. Please read below for a full overview of the tournament.

Creighton Honeck and Clint Frost hold on to outlast Travis Peterson and Domingo Jojola by two to win the Mid-Amateur Division. Mayacama’s very own Paul Balatti and Tom Musselman won the Senior Division in a playoff over Kip Estep and Don Gafner on the first playoff hole. David Sheff and Rich Tolly converted their second-round lead to win the Super Senior Division.

Creighton Honeck of Bee Cave, TX and Clint Frost of Robinson, TX had a four-shot lead headed into the final round. That, however, was surrendered by the fifth hole when Travis Peterson of Santa Rosa, CA and Domingo Jojola of Burlingame, CA completed two, two-shot swings. Despite, Honeck and Frost’s lead now being shared, they never actually gave up the top spot on the leaderboard. They made sure the victory was theirs as the Texans birdied four of the last five holes. Peterson and Jojola came in with a strong finish as well; it just ended up being two shots short.

In the Senior Division, Kip Estep of Rockwall, TX and Don Gafner of Sunnyvale, TX shot a final round, seven-under to get to a three day total of twelve-under-par. Playing in the same group as Gafner and Estep, Tom Musselman of Scottsdale, AZ and Paul Balatti of Windsor, CA carded a four-under round to get to the twelve-under total.

In a playoff to determine the champion in the Senior Division, Paul Balatti using his home club knowledge, made a six-foot birdie to take the title. Finishing third in the Senior Division was Mayacama Member Mark Martin of Sebastopol, CA and Paul Weinhold of Eugene, OR. Their final round three-under effort was enough to claim the position outright.
