We had a smaller turn out of 26 players this past Friday, as our tour stop was The Journey at Pechanga GC,  in Temecula.   Weather played in big part in deterring players from taken on the challenge.  Please accept the apologies from the Seacoast Christian GC Media center as their main reporter had to go out of town to cover the Texas Solar Eclipse and The Masters golf tournament in Augusta Georgia.  It was reported that our media reporter along with another member of our club left as soon as their round at Pechanga was completed to catch a flight off to Texas.  The excitement and anticipated plans to cover the “The Solar Eclipse” and “The Masters” all in one week were overwhelming, and reporting the results from Pechanga tournament had to be put on hold.  Thanks for your patience on waiting for this posting.
The weather for today’s round was treacherous and the wet conditions made it challenging for all those who participated.  Those who came prepared for the inclement weather conditions, faired well and were able to control their golf swing, golf game,  and scoring potential.
Welcome to all those new comers to our club.  The “Principal” guys were all smiles and eager to put their golf skills to the test today.
Most of the players in the field are all signed up for the 2024 season with our SCGA / GHIN / USGA  -Seacoast Christian GC organization.  If you are a player who is not a member of our club, you are welcome to join and begin your SCGA / GHIN experience with our club.  Just click on the membership or renew membership link below.  We plan a fun filled year of golf for our club members.  It is the golf committee’s  hope  that all of you will enjoy the friendly competition and year ending post season play which has been planned for all to enjoy.   Along this year’s golf journey with us, we also hope you create new bonds of friendship and camaraderie.
Posting Scores – all players are very much encouraged to use the GHIN APP  or posting website with at www.ghin.com and record their scores ASAP.  The updated system does recalculate your golf index daily.  Players are admonished to keep their index “UP TO DATE” by posting their scores.  If you look at the responsibilities of the player, there is a part that needs players to to their part.  Player who DO NOT post their scores can be subject to “PENALTY” round postings.  If you have any questions, please let the committee know.

Recap Event 4 – This is yet another event for the year where we’ve had to deal with “Wet” conditions.   Those who invested this year in “golf rain gear attire” surely are getting their investment to pay off.   Some players reported that they enjoy the rain conditions as it inspires them to play more carefully with intentions on their golf shots, and their scores somehow reflect improve play.  Justin Frisco came out today  (270 points earned) to prove he’s got game and made his statement that he is a contender for the cup.  Today Justin, posted a low gross 79 / low net 75 !   This definitely help earn him points to launch his standings on our leaderboard.    Tom Martinson played well today and earned himself 230 points to launch himself into 1st place on the Leaderboard.  Chasing behind Tom is Alan Hoekstra who now sits in 2nd place.  Today’s  “Major” points event, gave players the opportunity to score well and gain points to their season totals.

NoteablesBryan Blackwell and Scott Crockett both solidly earned “major” points to put them in contention for the 2024 Cup.

It’s still early in the season, and there’s a large group of guys eager to activate their “A” game to make it into this year’s playoffs.    Here’s the calendar of events for this year so you can plan accordingly.


USGA / GHIN – Membership Responsibilities “POSTING GOLF SCORES” – It is very important for all of us to have a good understanding of “golf handicap” and your “golf index” profile.   One of the elements of golf is the “integrity” of each player taking personal responsibility to post all qualified golf scores within 24 hours of date of play.   Your golf index is calculated daily and it is important to keep your golf profile as current as possible.  Failure to keep it current and NOT POSTING on a timely basis may be grounds for “penalty rounds” to be assessed.   If you have any difficulty or don’t completely understand the process, please visit the USGA learning center that explains via video all the info you need to know about “golf handicapping”

Player’s profiles and golf rounds are all subject be audited by the golf committee.  All players are required to “POST” their golf grounds ASAP as index ratings are calculated daily.  Please use Ghin.Com / or phone app to post your scores.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact
