Roy Northup



Today we received the sad news of the passing of an Olivas Park/Links legend, Roy Northup. He passed away on Monday, Oct 7. The family is working hard on arrangements. This is what I know at this writing:

A memorial service is in the planning for the next few weeks. Details to be emailed on this when available.

Like many of you and many more in the Men's Club, we have literally hundreds of great Roy stories. For myself, even more than the anecdotes, is my eternal thanks for his assistance, wisdom, and participation whenever called upon. He is one of the MOST GENEROUS people I have ever encountered. Only wish I had one more chance to tell him so...

With Heartfelt Condolences,

Brad Zlomke
OLMGC President

Rich Guzik



The local golfing community lost Rich Guzik on April 18, 2022. Rich was a Life Member of the OLMGC and we will miss his counsel and love of golf. He served on the Board of Directors of 5 local men's golf clubs (simultaneously) at Olivas Links, River Ridge and Buenaventura golf courses. One of his many contributions was to build up the scholarship programs at each of these clubs. This awarded many young men and women in local high school golf programs money for their college education.

 
Rich, always a stickler for the rules, provided his wisdom and thoughtful words on many an issue over the years. We all enjoyed his wisdom, humor, hard work and competitive drive and he will be missed!

"I’ve experienced many different emotions at O.P. over the years. Sadness in seeing our course plowed under, anticipation on its return, vindication (see greatest moments), my first Sunday morning back 9 with my son. And who could forget those 19th hole celebrations. Ours is a great club and it has truly been an honor to serve our Board of Directors." --Rich Guzik 2012
