Charlie Hood: A Great Friend, Competitor and ASMC Leader

As many of you may already know, Charlie Hood, longtime beloved ASMC member, passed away on Saturday, June 11th. Charlie was an active member of ASMC, for many years serving on the Board of Directors, and also serving as Handicap Chairman and Tournament Chairman. 

Charlie was an avid ambassador for the club and wonderful story teller and a wicked competitor. We'll never forget his famous answer when you had a putt that was just outside the leather: You'd ask, "Is that good?" and he would reply, "It's not bad."

Charlie's obituary can be seen at the following link:

There will be a Celebration of Life to share memories of Charlie at Dominican Oaks, 3400 Paul Sweet Rd., Santa Cruz at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 25th.

Charlie's family has asked that donations in his name be made to ASMC in support of the Junior Golf program. As such, we will set up a donation station at the July tournament for those who wish to donate in Charlie's name. All the money collected, along with the club's annual donation to Junior Golf, will be donated in Charlie's name.
