President’s Report By Ernie Knobloch
he deadline for this article was on April 10, which means that additional things have occurred since the dead line. The work done in Latitude 30 Patio & Grill and the Oak Room has resulted in a significant increase in the usage of both venues. In addition, it’s obvious that there are additional residents, espe cially younger families, enjoying what we have to offer at the Club. Hoppy offers dropin golf in structions to youngsters on some Saturday mornings and parents seem to enjoy sitting on the patio and watching their kids down below. You probably have al ready heard that one of our young golfers, Karstyn Altese, tied for second place in her age group in the national Drive, Chip and Putt contest. The fi nals were held at Augusta National Golf Course (where the Masters Tour nament is held) and were nationally televised. The TV announcers said at least three times that Kar
T
styn was from Diamond head, MS. I wonder how many people thought “Where in the heck in Diamondhead, MS?” We have several hundred participants in the Junior Golf Program. If you use Instagram, consider following The Club at Diamondhead. The POA is increasing the use of Instagram to get pictures out showing com munity events. Some residents have asked, “How does a mem ber become classified as ‘not in good standing?’ ” In the published Bylaws, Section 2.4, page 3, reads “A member in good stand ing is defined as a member who is not more than thirty (30) days past due in the payment of charges and/or assessments to the Corporation and who is not in violation of the declarations of Restric tions, Conditions, Ease ments, Covenant, Agree ments, liens and Charges etc.” Other residents have asked “What happens to a member not in good standing?” In the pub lished Bylaws, Section 2.5,
page 3 reads “… a member who is not in good stand ing shall be suspended from (I) the right to vote on such matters which may come before a mem bership meeting and (II) all other privileges associ ated with membership in the Corporation including the privilege to the com mon facilities of the Cor poration, including the golf courses, country club, marina, swimming pools and other recreational facilities.” If you’ve never played tennis, or haven’t played lately, go to the tennis facility, and speak to Matt. He’s instituting various tennis activities so that everyone can give tennis a try. Several residents have asked about specific pickle ball courts. If you have an interest in playing outside pickle ball, contact one of the POA Board members. Email addresses for all Board members can be found inside the monthly Diamondhead News. Some progress has been made in repairing the marina piers, but the pro cess is tied up with some

legal and financial issues. Hopefully, we’ll see visible progress during the next few months. By the time you read this, all of the swimming pools should be open. Reminder — you need to show your uptodate POA ID card to enter a swim ming area. Have you tried your skills at the ninehole
Frisbee layout at Twin Lakes? Similar to golf, you do have to be aware of the possibility of losing your frisbee on the holes near the water. Members in good stand ing can have their picture taken and then leave with their POA ID cards if they go to the concierge desk near the front door of the Club.
The desk is open during normal business hours plus Saturday mornings. Hope to see you at one of the many POA functions and/or amenity areas. Please take a minute to visit our new websites. We hope you will bookmark them and visit often: www.theclubatdiamond head.com www.diamondheadms.org

PEOPLES BANK CLARIFICATION – The minutes
of the December 21, 2020 meeting of the Board of Directors of the Diamondhead Country Club and Property Owners Association, Inc, reflect that, during my President’s Report, I stated, “Peoples Bank owes $1.3 million in back dues (which is being contested).” As clarification, the Diamondhead POA and the Peoples Bank have been adversaries in a lawsuit for more than five (5) years regarding nearly 400
lots that the Bank acquired in 2015. The lawsuit was originally litigated in Hancock County Chancery Court, appealed to the Mississippi Supreme Court, and has been remanded to the Chancery Court for further proceedings. While the Diamondhead POA continues to assert that The Peoples Bank is obligated to the Diamondhead POA for membership dues in-

I am sure they will do a wonderful job and we will have many great programs for the next administration.

meeting, after the installation of the new officers will be a doit yourself project. The club will supply flowers and a container for you to do a flower arrangement. You have to provide your own tools, scissors or clippers, some greenery, (trim your bushes) and imagination. You can take the arrangement home with you. These will not be huge designs since the container is small, about 2inchesby2inches, perhaps a little larger. It will be a fun project. We continue to register oak trees in Diamondhead. We have received permission
to register trees on city property in addition to the private proper ty we now register. If you have an oak tree on your property or know someone who does please contact Linda Naron at 2558277. She is the garden club chair man who is registering the trees. Registering your trees does not provide any additional protec tions other than those from the city or state. You can still trim them — “Ya jest caint cut ’em down.” Just an FYI at the meeting in March the club voted to have a

We are also slowly com ing out of our pandemic confinement, thanks to vaccinations (yeah ... hope you got yours!) Meanwhile, last month, some of our intrepid hikers (uhhuh … the “usual suspects”) returned to a favorite location, the Foun tainebleau Plantation in Mandeville. Now, they claimed that the trails were “too wet” (well, duh! It had just rained … and that’s
what hip boots are for …?), so they conveniently re treated to Rips in Mande ville … and uh … well, Johnnie was leading … and it was Thursday … and it was 25cent martini day … and, ummm, do ya really need any other informa tion?

DIAMONDHEAD BOATERS ASSOCIATION SERVIN’ ’EM HOT! The weather was cool, and the crawfish were hot Saturday, March 20 at the Twin lakes Pavilion. De spite delays due to CO VID19 in 2020, the fellow ship and laughter were what the members truly craved at their annual meeting and crawfish boil. The outdoor affair boasted a healthy number of party goers with new and return ing Krewe members min gling while enjoying a beer and the spicy feast. Chuck Ingraham, out going Commodore and ExOfficio, announced and welcomed the newly elect ed board, Commodore Audrey Ramirez, Vice Commodore Pam Mar shall, Secretary Dinah Knobloch, Treasurer Doug Maxwell, and directors: Hawes Amos, Bill Bucha nan, Ken Dropco. The association’s numbers
have grown tremendously over the 2020/2021 season amassing 39 new mem bers. New members in attendance: Marshall and LaDonna Brown, Tim and Kelly Kennedy, Wayne and JoAnn Ponthier, Lloyd and Jenny Ramirez, Jr., Marion and Cricket Rotolo, Gene and Brenda Torrence, William and Patricia Van Dervort, John and Cathy Gesell, Karen Tiner, Bill and Pattie Blackwood were introduced, and asked to stand. Organizer Judy Lee and her group of helpers did an amazing job putting on the event which kicks off every season. A special thanks to the Waveland Civic Association for boil ing the delicious crawfish. The soiree was a com plete success! When all the food was eaten and with friends reunited, 2020 quarantine blues seemed to be left behind. Boaters will continue 2021 with several festive events throughout the year!

SPORTS THE CLUB AT DIAMONDHEAD By Chris Altese, PGA Director of Golf
The golf courses are looking great to kick off this golf season! Now is a perfect time to get out and play some golf on our two championship golf cour ses. Why play golf or live anywhere else? Diamond head has it all. Our premier golf event,
The Malahini … Diamond head Member Guest, will be held May 1416. You may still have time to get your team registered. Call the Golf Shop at (228) 2553910. The Malahini is a major event for The Club at Diamondhead, and it’s one of our favorite events of the year. We hosted the Big Kahu na Golf Challenge on April 911 and had our largest, and possibly strongest,
field to date. With the support of our lady golfers from all over the coast we were able to have several flights for ladies and even the first ever Wahine (La dies) Shoot Out. Congratulations to all of our flight winners includ ing Big Kahuna (Men’s) Overall Champion & Big Kahuna (Men’s) Shoot Out Champion Nick Beale and Wahine Stroke Play/La dies’ Overall Award Win

dison See all results for the Big Kahuna Golf Challenge at our event website ... https://dccbigkahu na2021.golfgeni us.com. Lots of fun! Diamondhead is very proud of all of our junior golfers for their efforts to grow in the game. Just a couple of weeks ago one of our Diamondhead junior golfers, Karstyn Altese (age 12), competed at Augusta National Golf Club in the Drive, Chip, & Putt Nation al Finals. After the driving and chipping competi tions, Karstyn found her self in 2nd place overall in her age group. The entire competition then came down to putting. On Kar
styn’s last putt on the 18th green at ANGC she barely missed the 15 footer as it slid just across the low side of the cup. We will take a 2nd place finish in the National Finals! Con gratulations, Karstyn! You made Diamondhead proud! Congratulations are also due to Diamondhead junior Jack Lawson (7th grade) for his stellar performance and win at The Big Kahuna Golf Chal lenge this weekend at The Club at Diamondhead . Jack shot 7980 to win the First Flight of the Men’s White Tee B Division from the white tees (app. 6300 yards)! Great playing, Jack ! Diamondhead proud!

DMGA By Gene deMedicis
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, bad weather has continued to plague the DMGA. Un fortunately, our game on March 24 was canceled due to bad weather. And the format for the round on March 31 was changed to a scramble after a heavy early morning rain storm created cart path only conditions. On a much more positive note we again welcomed several new members in the
month of March and early April. We had 36 compet itors for our April 7 game, which represents our high est turnout thus far in 2021. The format for March 17 was mixed bag which records one score on par 5’s, two scores on par 4’s and three scores on par 3’s. The team of Mike Cava taio, Gene deMedicis, Art Burgoyne and Al Mast took first place with a score of 18 under. Finishing a close second with a score of 17 under were Billy Stroud, Marion Rotolo, John Bunce and Pat Jarrell. Third place with a score of 13 under were Tom O’Connell, Da vid Barbato, Marshall Brown and Dennis Tauzin. Closest to the pin winners
were Marion Rotolo, Frank Morrow, John Bunce and Billy Stroud. Marion Roto lo narrowly missed an ace with an excellent tee shot a foot from the hole. After an early morning rain shower the format for March 31 was changed to a scramble. Winning first place with a score of 9 under par were Sam Lee, Marion Rotolo, Dennis Laumann and Charles Cangelosi. Second place was won by Tom Amedee, Don Crosby, Erie Hebert and Pat Jarrell with a score of 8 under. Billy Stroud, Chuck Ingraham and Val Miller finished third. Closest to the pins were won by Ren ny Pangan, Warren Mor gan, Chuck Ingraham, and
John Bunce. The format for April 7 was Peers. This format groups competitors with equal handicaps and re cords the lowest net score on each hole as the team score. Two teams tied for first place at 14 under par and three teams tied for third place at 11 under par. Sharing first place were the teams of Mike Cava taio, John Lee, Red Do bronich and Tom O’Con nell and Dennis Laumann, Dutch Vandervort, Lee Kormondy and Ben More head. Third place winners were Jim Shoemaker, Char les Cangelosi, AJ Dilley and Pat Jarrell along with Marion Rotolo, Don Cros by, John Bunce and Chuck
Ingraham. Sam Lee, Renny Pangan, Frank Morrow and Berni Breen also shared third place. Closest to the pins were won by Lenny Alphonso, Warren Alexander, Sam Lee and Red Dobronich. Leading money winners for the first quarter of 2021 are Gene deMedicis, Don Crosby, Marion Rotolo, David Barbato, John Bunce, Sam Lee, AJ Dilley, Dennis Laumann, Tom O’Connell and John Lee. Closest to the pin lead ers for the first quarter are Sam Lee (7), Marion Roto lo (5), John Bunce (3), Bobby Gros (2), Billy Stroud (2), Lenny Alphon so (2) and Mike Cavataio (2). I’ll see you on the course.

Closest to the pin were Cassandra Godbold on hole #2 and #15, Denise Bergeron on hole #6 and Joyce Teerling on hole #13. March 11 we started our Pine Classic Tournament. This is a Match Play Tour nament, two players play against each other and the winner advances to the next round. You have two weeks to play your match therefore it can take a month or two to finish the Tournament. At the end of March the following play ers have advanced to the quarterfinals: Jeanne Hud gins, Margie James, Amy Swint, Patti Hourin, Col
