Board of Director Nominees for the 2023 Ballot

Cody Diede (Incumbent)

I am proud to have called Lodi my home all of my life. My wife and I joined Woodbridge Golf & Country Club in 2014. We enjoy golfing and playing tennis as often as we can along with our two young children who have both grown passions for the sports. I became a board member in 2020 and currently serve as board President. I have participated in each of the WGCC committees in different ways over the last three years, allowing me to grow an understanding of all departments and helping me recognize Club needs.

From a young age, I have worked for and managed different departments within Diede Companies. As a family-run company, we’ve felt very connected to the city of Lodi and make it a priority to support the local community as much as possible. I am thankful for the opportunity I’ve had to serve on the WGCC board and would be honored to serve for another term if reelected.

Kathie Holtzapple

I became a member of Woodbridge for the second time in September 2019 when I moved back to Lodi. As a native Lodian and a golfer since 1971, I believe we as members have a responsibility to preserve our Club and improve on it for the future.

I attended Lodi High and gained work experience as an intern in local businesses. My work experience included managing offices for local dentists and doctors, teaching a vocational education class through Lodi Unified, working as a Loan Officer for Citicorp, and managing operations centers for Bank of the West, American Savings and others. I have an MBA in Accounting and Finance and owned my own Bookkeeping business.

My involvement with the Ladies 18 Hole Group as Chairperson for two WWGA Invitationals, as current Captain and an active user of the Sports Facility as well as my interaction with the Finance and Greens Committees helps me bring an all encompassing perspective to matters that affect our Club and the members.

I look forward to bringing my skills and abilities to serve our Club.

Rich Parejo

I’ve been married to Barbara for 53 years. We have two sons and three grandchildren. For 35 years, I was an Electrical Contractor in Pleasanton.

After retiring, we followed our grandchildren and family, and is why we were members of several other private Golf Clubs. These clubs include Castlewood CC, Quail Lodge GCC, Ventana GCC, Indian Wells CC and Tehama. Each club along the way has exposed me to many ideas that I hope to share and incorporate in the ongoing efforts to improve Woodbridge Golf & Country Club.

At two of these clubs, I served on both the House and Invitational Committees, exposing me to the efforts required to meet the requirements needed to work on the Board of Directors at Woodbridge Golf and Country Club.

Andy Petersen

My name is Andy Petersen, and I have spent most of my life in Lodi. My family relocated here in 1980, having the opportunity to “grow up” with my siblings in this small community. Attending local schools, I found my first love has always been sports. I excelled at baseball and was recruited and offered a scholarship at San Diego State. After my senior year of college, I was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals and had a short minor league career. Soon after that experience, I was offered a coaching position for a local high school baseball program. It was because of this experience that I decided to obtain my Single Subject credential to teach Physical Education which I have been doing the past 30 years. During this tenure, I have been able to make an impact with youth athletics by performing the duties of Athletic Director, and coaching baseball, football and golf for most of those 30 years.

I am happily married to Susan Petersen for the past 23 years and together we have raised two children and a few dogs. I am still very committed to sports. I absolutely love the game of golf, but enjoy traveling, hunting, fishing and other outdoor recreational activities. In the past ten years, we have become interested in real estate and have created a short-term rental business. Honesty, integrity and financial responsibility are part of my core values, coupled with my love for my friends and family.

We have been members at Woodbridge Golf & Country Club since May 2020 and always enjoy our time at the Club with our friends.
