Scott Anderson
I first started playing golf at Brookside in high school and joined the Brookside Men’s Golf Club in 1990. I have played SCGA Team Play for Brookside since 1998 and have had the privilege of serving as the Thursday Team Captain for several years.
I have been an active BMGC Board Member since 2003. During that time, I have served as Handicap Chairman for five years, increasing the profile of the committee both at Brookside and as model for other courses in the SCGA. I was awarded Handicap Chairman of the year, by the SCGA in 2015. In 2011 and 2014, I completed the four-day USGA Rules Seminar and attended another four-day rules seminar in Las Vegas, September, 2018. I am now currently serving as our BMGC Tournament Chairman for the past ten years
I look forward to many more years increasing the playing experience of our members.

Dear Fellow BMGC Members,
I am honored to seek your support for a position on the Brookside Men’s Golf Club Board. Over the past 16 years, I have been dedicated to our club, and it has been a significant part of my life and personal growth as a golfer.
My service to the golfing community includes my time on the board of the First Tee of Greater Pasadena, where I proudly served as Board President for two years. I have also volunteered at the Pasadena City Championship and have actively participated as a member of our Saturday Team Play team. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to promoting the game of golf and fostering a sense of community among our members.
If elected, my goals for my term on the board will be to:
- Promote the club to attract new members and ensure its continued growth.
- Contribute to our digital strategy to enhance communication and engagement.
- Demonstrate teamwork and collaboration, bringing my management skills to elevate our member experience.
- Focus on creating an environment that enhances the overall enjoyment of our club and fosters camaraderie among all members.
I am excited about the opportunity to serve and work with each of you to make our club even better. Humbly, I ask for your support and your vote to serve as a board member of the BMGC.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely, Mike DeLucia
JOHN GANDARA
I am interested in becoming a member of the Brookside Men’s Golf Club Board of Directors. I have been golfing at Brookside for over 20 years and a member of BMGC for the last 5. I golf often and am a regular at the club’s skins games, and tournaments. I have also participated in SCGA Team Play.
It is important that BMGC continue to have a healthy membership, maintain its high standards, and have a great respect for the game we all love. I want to continue to foster the ability the club provides, to form great lasting friendships. The fiscal health of BMGC is also of the utmost importance. As a member of the Board, I can help to ensure a healthy future for the club as we are faced with challenges in the time ahead.
I am employed by GKN Aerospace (36 years). My program currently is F35 military aircraft windshields and canopies. During my tenure I have had many job assignments and am currently Production Floor Manager.
I am a lifelong resident of the Pasadena area and currently reside in South Pasadena. I truly enjoy my time spent with BMGC. It is a great organization and a lot of fun. Thank you for your consideration.

I have served on the Brookside Men’s Golf Club Board since 1982. During that time, I have served as BMGC Tournament Chairman and up to now as Pasadena City Chairman. I have made a continuous effort to make our Brookside Men’s Golf Club, and the golf course, a great place to belong and play.
I have seen many changes to the course and the demographics of the club over this time and I feel we can do better. If elected, I will strive to make the tournaments better, the club even better.
Thank You, Rob Moore
