About Us
“The Jimmies” are golf enthusiasts who host an annual charity tournament in Southern California. The tournament is for golfers of all skill levels.
Many of our annual participants are new to the game of golf. We encourage first timers to team up and experience golf the way it was intended, for
fun!
Where Did We Get The Name “Jimmies”?
Believe it or not, “Jimmy” is a Seinfeld reference. "The Jimmy" is the 105th episode of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld. This was the 19th episode for the
6th season. It aired on March 16, 1995. Jimmy is a character who always refers to himself in the third person, so of course the other characters
begin speaking in the same manner as well. The story, as do most episodes, leads in about five different directions involving all of the cast
members. The twists and turns end with Jimmy being hauled away by security yelling, "Jimmy's gonna get you, Kramer! Hands off Jimmy! Don't-
touch-Jimmy!!!"
Mark (Jimmy) decided six years ago he wanted to put on a golf tournament for his friends. A new golfer at the time himself, Mark solicited help
from Greg (Jimmy), an avid and very average golfer. The plan was to host a charity tournament without a corporate sponsor, locate players and
donors and do it all in less than six months. Jimmy never thought it would be possible but Jimmy was confident. So confident in fact that low and
behold, six months later the Jimmies hosted their very first tournament.
Enter another Jimmy (Chris). For the last five years this Jimmy has performed the MC duties at the dinner after the tournament. He is a good
friend of both the Jimmies and an excellent golfer, but that is not why he was asked to MC the event. He can talk for-e-e-e-e-e-ver! A good thing
for an MC.
Everyone who simply enjoys the game of golf becomes a Jimmy to us. This year we are encouraging returning Jimmies to invite new players to
the tournament, no matter how long they have golfed.
The tournament is set up again this year as a four-person scramble. All players tee off. The team selects the one ball position of the four they
want to play. All four players hit a ball again from that location and the format is followed until the ball is holed. Two drives must be used from
each of the four players in a group. As always, there will be a “low gross,” winner and the Peoria system will be used to determine “low net”
winners. Every team has a chance to win.
Jimmy loves his golf!

The 2012 Course – Dove Canyon Country Club
The Jimmies Invitational is changing venues for 2012 and moving to beautiful Dove Canyon Country Club in Dove Canyon, CA. The Jimmies
chose the course for its exciting layout and upscale condition. It is centrally located for most Jimmies attendees (except one Jimmy who flies in
from Texas every year). The course is also private, giving some Jimmies the chance to play there who might not normally be able to experience
this venue.
From their website (http://dovecanyonclub.com): As the only private Jack Nicklaus signature golf course in Orange County, Dove Canyon Country
Club offers the challenges of a course designed with a Master’s touch. This championship course features rolling fairways that wind through lush
canyons and waterfalls to reach large, well-bunkered greens.
