MEMBER SPOTLIGHT:
A Decade of Golf, Grit & Good Humor with Ken Campbell
When you think of dedication to the game of golf—and to the spirit of community at Woodbridge—it’s hard not to think of Ken Campbell. As a matter of fact, when the staff was asked who they wanted to see featured, Ken was the unanimous choice! His sense of humor, passion for golf and all-around “here-for-you-ness” vibe made Ken the obvious choice for our Club staff.
A member since 2015, he’s spent the last ten years immersed in everything from early tee times to Super Senior Championships and NHRA drag races.
We sat down with him for a candid Q&A that spans golf, grit, and a few great surprises.
Q&A with Ken
How long have you been a member at Woodbridge?
I joined in May of 2015. Hard to believe it’s already been 10 years—time flies when you’re having fun.
What brought you to the Club originally?
After selling my home and business in Fremont, I was planning a move to Nevada. That all changed when I met Jan!
What’s your favorite way to spend time at the Club?
Golf is the reason I joined. Everything else is secondary. I do enjoy the gym and food, but for me, it’s all about the quality of the course.
What’s your go-to post-round meal or drink?
I don’t drink alcohol after golf. Sometimes I’ll stay for a light bite and then hit the gym. If I’m eating, it’s usually a salad. Although I do miss the pot stickers!
Any proud moments on the course you’d like to share?
Two Holes-in-One—on 2 River and 7 Lake. I’ve also shot 70 twice and won the Super Senior Championship once.
What’s your handicap—or your goal for the season?
My current index is 8.4, up from 6.2 due to undergoing cancer treatment. My goal is to get back to that 6.2.
... at Woodbridge, I see small acts of kindness from my friends and other members all the time. There are so many good people here who go out of their way to do nice things for others.
Who’s your favorite person to golf with and why?
Tough question—impossible, really. There’s a regular group of about 18 of us who play Tuesday through Saturday, and they’re all fantastic people. Two I especially admire are Dick Hyrsch, who’s 87, and Mike Bratschi, who’s 82 and has two Purple Hearts.
Tell us a fun fact most members don’t know about you.
I tried stand-up comedy a couple of times while working a job in L.A. It was something to get me out of the hotel room. I got a few laughs at The Comedy Club in Westwood—but you need new material all the time!
Also, fun(?) fact—I’m an IBM Certified Systems Engineer… from 1968!
How do you spend your time outside the Club?
Honestly, most of my free time is still spent here— either in the gym or on the course. I also do most of the cooking at home, which means a fair amount of grocery runs. My wife, Jan, works more than she should at her retail store, so I take care of the chores. My kids and grandkids are spread out—from four hours away to Texas and L.A.—and I wish they were closer.
What advice would you give a new member?
That’s easy: Get involved! Whether it’s golf, tennis, or the gym—just sign up for something. Lodi folks are incredibly friendly. I can’t say anything about the pool, though—I’ve never been in it!
Do you have a favorite hole on the course?
I have a few “un-favorites,” but my top picks are 6 River and 6 Lake. I like the shot values and the overall look of both.
Who inspires you—on or off the course?
There are two people in my private life I admire deeply—humble, smart, kind, and extremely generous individuals. And at Woodbridge, I see small acts of kindness from my friends and other members all the time. There are so many good people here who go out of their way to do nice things for others.
Do you play any other sports or have hobbies outside golf?
I wish I could still play baseball, but I’m too old for that now. Most people who see my golf cart know I’m a huge NHRA drag racing fan. I’ve worked at drag strips, raced cars, and even invested in teams since I was 18. My wife’s now hooked too! We travel to tracks across the country, and every July at Sonoma Raceway, a group of WBCC members joins me. I’ve got friends who are professional racers— and I knew their dads and granddads. That probably gives you an idea of how long I’ve been around!
Whether he’s chasing a lower handicap or the next NHRA race, Ken brings a passion and friendly spirit to everything he does at Woodbridge. Cheers to ten years—and many more to come.

FROM HER SWING TO HIS STORIES
Celebrate June Together at Woodbridge
As June arrives, we find ourselves surrounded by reasons to celebrate— and at Woodbridge, we believe every moment is better when shared with those we love. This month, we’re honoring Women in Golf by celebrating the women who shape our game and our community with every swing, every round, and every encouraging word on the fairway. Whether you're a new golfer learning the ropes or a seasoned player leading your team to victory, there's a place for you here.
June also brings Father’s Day, a time to recognize the men who taught us how to hold a club, keep our cool, or simply enjoy the game—win or lose. What better way to celebrate than with a round of golf, a doubles match on the tennis or pickleball courts, a few laps in the pool, or a fitness session together?
And as we recognize Pride Month, we proudly stand with our LGBTQ+ members, celebrating the diversity that makes our community strong, welcoming, and connected.
Certainly, Woodbridge’s roots come from our passion for Golf. But today, it’s also a place where families connect across generations. Whether it’s dads teaching daughters, moms challenging sons to a rematch, or couples of all kinds enjoying a day at the Club, we invite you to make memories all month long.
Let your competitive spirit shine (at the Tokay Invitational!). Try something new (Kelley’s Cocktails & Mocktails Class!). Cheer each other on (at the Father’s Day Round Robin!).
And above all, celebrate the joy of being active.
Together.
See you at the Club!

A Summer Job that Turned into a Legacy Kelley Mori STAFF SPOTLIGHT:
What started as a temporary summer job in 2003 turned into a 20+ year career full of friendships, unforgettable moments, and community roots. Kelley Mori, now the Director of Food & Beverage at Woodbridge has grown alongside the Club—serving members with dedication, creativity, and heart.
When asked who they would love to see featured this month, members overwhelmingly chose Kelley, noting is friendliness, willingness to help any time and great attitude.
We caught up with Kelley to reflect on his journey and what makes Woodbridge more than just a workplace—it’s home.
Q&A with Kelley
What’s your current role at the Club, and how long have you been part of the team?
I’m currently the Director of Food & Beverage. I started back in November of 2003—so it’s been over 20 years!
What originally brought you to Woodbridge?
Funny enough, I was planning to attend the Art Institute of San Diego in the summer of 2004 and needed a job in the meantime. My sister was a server at the Club and mentioned they needed a barback. I interviewed with then-F&B Director Mark Norman, got the job, and the rest is history. I guess you could say this was my “summer job” that never ended.
What’s your favorite part of your job?
Definitely the connections. I’ve built so many lifelong friendships with both members and staff. After all these years, many members truly feel like family.
Can you share a memorable moment or story from your time here?
There was one Tokay Invitational years ago during a major heat wave—we hit 112°F on the final day. A brownout knocked out power for the entire week. We had to scramble to get things ready for the awards ceremony and BBQ, and somehow, we pulled it off. It ended up being one of the best Tokays I’ve ever worked.
How do you like to spend your time outside of work?
(Laughs) I do get outside of work sometimes! My girlfriend and I love the outdoors. We camp as often as we can with our two dogs, June Bug and Mason. I also really enjoy gardening and photography.
Do you have career aspirations outside the Club?
If I ever decide to retire from the Club, I’d love to work in the travel industry. It’s something that’s always appealed to me.
Do you have a favorite event or tradition at the Club?
The Tokay Invitational is definitely my favorite. It’s always fun to see all the guys competing and just having a great time.
What’s your go-to meal or drink from the Club menu?
I usually go with the daily feature. I like seeing what Johnny comes up with—it’s always something new and creative.
Who or what inspires you in your work?
I’m inspired daily by people like Ken Campbell, Ryan Bill, Josh Sturman, and Rich Parejo. I’ve worked closely with them over the years. Their leadership and mentorship have really helped me grow as part of this team.
If you could switch roles with anyone at the Club for a day, who would it be?
I don’t think I’d switch roles exactly, but I’d love to shadow Lou for a day. He’s done an amazing job with the course, and I’d love to get some insight into his world.
What’s one fun fact about you that members might not know? That’s tough—I’m pretty much an open book, so most members already know quite a bit about me!
What do you enjoy most about being part of the Woodbridge community?
The sense of family. I started here when I was 20—I’m 42 now. Members have literally watched me grow up. I’ve seen their babies become adults and now have babies of their own. Naturally, a lot of members have become like family to me. That’s something really special.
With two decades of service, Kelley is more than a familiar face—he’s part of the heart and soul of Woodbridge. His dedication, humor, and relationships built over the years reflect the very spirit of community our Club strives to foster.
I’ve
built so many lifelong friendships with both members and staff. After all these years, many members truly feel like family.

DINING REMINDERS
As we move further into the year, we want to take a moment to remind everyone about some important updates regarding our dining services and dress code at the club.
Dining Service Updates:
In May 2024, we made a significant change to enhance your dining experience by eliminating the automatic service charge on food and beverage in the restaurant and during special member events. This shift allows you the freedom to tip in accordance with the level of service you receive. We encourage you to show appreciation for our staff’s hard work and dedication in a manner that reflects your satisfaction.
However, it's important to note that a 20% service charge will still apply to outside banquets, including weddings, office parties, and celebrations of life. We strive to provide a seamless experience for all our events, and this charge helps ensure that our team can deliver the best service possible.
Dress Code Reminder
To maintain the Club's distinguished atmosphere, we want to remind you that our dress code applies to all members, regardless of age—adults and juniors alike. We kindly ask for your cooperation in adhering to the following guidelines while in the dining areas:
Not Allowed:
• Frayed or torn clothing
• Sports jerseys
• Graphic t-shirts
• Tank tops
• Halter tops
• Bathing suits
• Short shorts (minimum length of mid-thigh)
• Ski-style caps
• Hats worn backward
While clean blue jeans are permitted in the Café, please remember that the overall dress code applies to everyone to uphold the elegance of our Club.
We appreciate your understanding and compliance with these policies. Thank you for being such a vital part of our community, and we look forward to seeing you around the Club.

Golf Rules
Last Month’s Question –
In Four-Ball stroke play with side A-B and side C-D playing together, after A plays from the 2nd teeing area, but before any other player plays, B discovers that B has mistakenly carried fifteen clubs from the start due to a club that they failed to remove at the range before the round. What is the ruling?
Answer –
Both A and B get the general penalty: loss of hole.
This Month’s Question –
In Four-Ball match play with side A-B, A holes out. Before B holes out, A practices putting on the fringe of the putting green without helping B's play or hurting the opponent's play. What is the ruling?

June’s Tip of the Month Golf is a Game Best Played, not Worked At
I’ve always tried to write these monthly articles as though we were having a conversation — something that hopefully feels a lot like taking a lesson with me at our practice facilities.
Golf is a vulnerable game. I think it was Jack Lemmon who once compared playing a round of golf to stepping on stage in front of everyone you know and removing one article of clothing at a time. Trying to improve your game often feels just like that — exposed, uncomfortable, and faith-requiring. You can do all the right things and still see inconsistent progress. Sometimes, you even wonder if the old swing, flawed as it was, was better than this new one that only occasionally offers hope you made the right change.
If you’ll indulge me, I recently fell into a trap I’ve encountered many times. After a solid 2024 of competitive golf, I saw the offseason as an opportunity. I consulted a golf fitness expert, took a lesson, and started a speed training program. But somewhere in the process, my preparation checklist got too long. I was doing all the “right” things, but it quickly became clear that I wasn’t allowing my natural ability to come through. I was stifling it.
So how do we manage this all-too-common predicament?
Have a Plan
The best players in the world never muddle their intentions for the day. They're either working on movements, patterns, and swing changes — or they’re playing, scoring, and competing. Never both. Make a clear decision before your session begins, and you’ll save yourself a lot of confusion and frustration.
Create Good Habits
Written Game Plan:
Think like a good physical trainer. They don’t guess — they plan the exercises, reps, and weight. If one of us — myself, Teresa, John, or another pro — prescribes a drill to help make a swing change, having a structured regimen is critical. Poor range sessions happen when players react to each shot instead of sticking to a focus. If you hit 100 balls and changed your focus 100 times, you didn’t really train anything.
Instead, perform drills in sets. Try four repetitions of a drill, followed by a “normal” swing on the fifth ball. This approach brings awareness to what feels right, what doesn’t, and gives the swing change a better chance of sticking.
Compartmentalize: Train Fundamentals, Play Shots
Tour players constantly use drills and tools to manage their tendencies — and yes, even the best have plenty of things they don’t like in their swings. But here’s what really sets them apart: decision-making, shot shaping, trajectory control, feel. Not perfect mechanics. Fundamentals give you access to those skills — but don’t guarantee them. Real skill is developed over time through playing, experimenting, and trusting instinct.
Ways to Gain Skill
7-Iron Only Game:
Play a few holes using just your 7-iron — choosing yardages where you can reach the green in two. This is my favorite way to break out of swing-thought overload. Quickly, players rediscover a more artistic, instinctive way to play. You’ll have to problem-solve, get creative, and play the game — not just execute mechanics.
“Call Your Shot” Drill:
Do this one with a friend: Have them call out a shot (“low,” “fade,” “draw,” etc.) as you’re starting your swing. It sounds impossible at first. But surprisingly quickly, players find they can respond with only a split-second of thought. The drill reveals a truth I share often: You’re better than you think you are.
Shape
At its core, golf is a balancing act between intellect and instinct. Knowing how to do something is important. But at a certain point, we need to stop working on the game and start playing the game.
Kids don’t perform tag. They don’t work at it. They play it. And that’s exactly how golf should be played.
If you’ve been grinding, stuck in mechanics, or just plain frustrated, try one of these drills. Step out of the “lab” and back into the playground. You might just surprise yourself.
Member Responses to May’s Strategic Plan Survey
Dear Members,
We want to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in our recent member engagement initiatives. More than 200 members completed the Club-wide survey, and an additional 66 members joined us in focus group discussions to share insights and feedback about the current and future state of our Club.
The goal of these sessions was to ensure your voices are heard as we shape priorities for the years ahead. We deeply appreciate the thoughtful input and candid perspectives shared during these discussions.
Following the survey analysis and focus group meetings, several key themes emerged. These topics will now move to the Long Range Planning Committee for further evaluation and development:
• Enhancing Existing Facilities: There was strong member sentiment around refreshing and maintaining existing facilities, with specific emphasis on restroom cleanliness and updates— especially those located on the golf course.
• Golf Course Remains a Priority: Members affirmed the importance of continuing to prioritize golf course improvements in any future capital projects.
• Focus on Quality Over Quantity: Rather than adding new amenities, members expressed a desire to enhance and refine what we currently offer, ensuring excellence and usability in all areas.
• Transparency in Decision-Making: A clear call was made for more transparency around major Club decisions, reinforcing the importance of open communication between leadership and membership.
These pages show the results of the Strategic Plan survey, sent to all memberships in May. The complete slide deck of findings presented by Troon can be found by scanning the QR code. The slide deck was used in the focus group meetings, and outlines these themes and more. We encourage all members to review it for a deeper look at the findings and next steps.
Thank you again for your engagement and ongoing support. We look forward to keeping you updated as the Long Range Planning Committee explores these areas in greater detail.

Q3: In what ways can we improve our golf facilities, course conditions or programming to elevate your experience and better serve your needs?
Members like the progress made on course conditions and overall facility maintenance. Top concerns include upgrading fairways, improving bunkers, leveling and maintaining tee boxes, and addressing cart paths.
Q4: How can we enhance our sports facilities, including racquet sports, fitness and swimming, or improve related programs to better align with your interests and lifestyle?
Members are satisfied with the current sports facilities, but want enhanced wellness offerings, such as a sauna, hot tub, and steam options. Requests for expanded programming, improved cleanliness, and more diverse equipment options reflect a desire for a more engaging, supportive fitness environment.
Q5: What social events, recreational activities, or community experiences would encourage you to spend more time at the club and invite friends or family to join?
Members want more live music events, with suggestions for themed concerts, BBQs, and family-friendly activities. Satisfaction with existing events is high, but members also expressed a desire for more inclusive programming for young families, expanded wine events, and additional holiday celebrations.
Q6: Do you have any additional ideas, suggestions or feedback to help shape the future of Woodbridge?
Members appreciate the Club’s progress and leadership, but they also emphasize the importance of maintaining course quality, inclusivity, and clear communication. Key areas for improvement include enforcing the dress code, improving transparency on decisions, and ensuring inclusivity for all ages and member types.

We had many ties, so we used the card-off method to determine final standings. Thank you to all the ladies who participated!
We’re always looking for new members! If you’d like to come out and play on a guest day, we’d be happy to help you get on a team. Just reach out to Beth Grady, our Membership Chair.
Let’s keep the momentum going into June—see you on the course!

49er Update
The May weather has been delightful! Despite a few blustery mornings, we've enjoyed some great rounds of golf and good times all around.
We kicked off the month with Stroke Play on May 1, where Donna Aarons took first place, and Anne Weisenberg and Jill Bratton tied for second.
On May 8, Shannon Hagen was the big winner in our "Only 4 Pars Count" game, with Kathy Cockayne and Rhonda Craig tying for second.
One of our favorite formats—the ever-popular Two-Woman Scramble on the River Course— brought out a strong turnout. Dora Shoemaker and Julie Scorpazzi took first place, followed by Jennie Fuller and Jill Bratton in second, and Shannon Hagen and Jan Campbell in third.
Our May 22 Stroke Play event saw Donna Aarons finish in first, with Dora Shoemaker in second and Trudy McLeod taking third.
We wrapped up the month with a well-attended Best Ball game on the Vineyard Course on May 29. Using one best ball on odd holes and two on even holes, the team of Barb Parejo, Dora Shoemaker, and Donna Aarons took home the win with a score of 40.
Looking ahead to June, we’re excited for our Flag Day celebration hosted by Juliet Fyffe and Jan Campbell, a Mystery Partner event, Stroke Play, and a fun Guest Day.
If you haven’t yet, consider joining the Fore Tee Niners! We play Thursday mornings and enjoy fun formats, friendly competition, and plenty of post-round conversation—plus lunch, of course. To join, contact Donna Aarons or sign up through the Pro Shop.
Hope to see you out there!

Twilight Triumph!
Erin DeVries captained her Twilight Team to a thrilling victory last month in our Ladies Night Twilight Golf League! With 25 points in the Stableford competition, Erin and her spirited teammates edged out the competition for the win. The golf was great—but the 19th Hole might have been the real highlight!
Thanks to everyone who came out and made this Twilight season such a success!
THREE Net Eagles!
That’s the story of Cindy Ciboch, who led her team to a 2nd place finish at the Valley Hi “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” Invitational. Dressed in classic Tiffany black with pearls sparkling in the sunlight, Cindy proudly represented Woodbridge— conquering the course with style and flair. Congratulations, Cindy!
