I am thrilled to welcome you to the new home of award-winning Casa de Bandini now in The Forum in Carlsbad, North County's premier shopping destination!

We were formerly located in Old Town San Diego. Our new second-generation Bandini is reminiscent of Mexico's charming and festive haciendas. You'll love the colorful dining rooms and patios, splashing fountains, and lush landscaping.

Mariachis and frosty birdbath margaritas start your Fiesta! And the food is incredible!-deliciously based on our original regional recipes using high quality and fresh ingredients paired with our scrumptious homemade sauces and salsas.

Options abound on our extensive menu including acclaimed seafood specialties, plus Healthy Dining selections and a children's menu kids love. Convenient, free parking makes your visit hassle-free.

I can't wait to see you at our new Casa de Bandini.

Format: The “39” Tournament is a points based format similar to a Stableford point system. Every player starts with a score of 39 and then subtracts his handicap from that. Then play is scored like a reverse Stableford.. The Championship Flight plays to scratch. The lowest score wins, and so on. There are no stroke holes as your strokes or handicap are subtracted at the start. This is an individual stroke play event.

2011 Points Cup

2011 Points Cup

The Points Cup is a year long event, like the Fed EX Cup on the PGA tour. In each of our events, the top 10 players in each flight get points according to the place they finish in. Your points get added up through out the year regardless of the flight you may have played in for an event or based on your index. The more tournaments you play in the more chances you have to get into the Points Cup Tournament.

Wednesday Play for ERMGC Members

If you want friendly golf competition and have a chance to earn gift certificates to purchase items from the Golf Shop, sign up for a tee time between 7:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. on Wednesdays. You may sign up as a single, with a friend, or a group of four. All sign-ups must be members of the Men’s Club. All participants pay an entry fee of $5. Each participant signs up for his appropriate flight and tee.

Every golfer can win a gift certificate redeemable at the pro shop for placing in their flight.
In addition, every player has an opportunity to win a $10 gift certificate for being closest to the hole, or having the long drive in their flight.

Also, on the first Wednesday of each month you have an opportunity to place a wager in our "Beat the Pro" contest. Whatever amount you wager, if your net score beats the pro you will get a gift certificate equal to double your wager. If your net score ties or loses to the pro, you still get a certificate equal to the amount you have wagered. You can’t lose!

Following are the parameters for flights and tees assignments:

Club Used in Determining Nearest Point of Relief

If you play golf, you’ve had interference from an obstruction, abnormal ground condition or wrong putting green. You know that you must find the nearest point of relief, but how does one go about determining it?

First, the nearest point of relief is a spot which is not closer to the hole where, if the ball were on that spot, there would be no interference from the immovable obstruction, abnormal ground condition, or wrong putting green.

You should use the club that would have been used to make the stroke if the obstruction, abnormal ground condition or wrong putting green were not there. Simulate an address position (take your stance and ground the club) away from the condition. The spot where the club is grounded in this simulated address position is a possible point of relief. There may be several possible points of relief. The nearest point of relief is the one closest to where your ball originally lay, and if the ball were on that point, there would be no interference for the lie of the ball, the stance or the area of intended swing.

After you determine the nearest point of relief, drop the ball within one club-length of this point, not nearer the hole, and not in a hazard or on a putting green.

A specific procedure to determine the nearest point of relief is not required by the Rules of Golf. But the Rules do require you to drop the ball within one club-length of the nearest point relief. The best way to ensure you drop in the correct place is to follow the guidance we’ve provided above.
