We had a good turnout today as our tour stop is at the beautiful and well maintained “Journey at Pechanga GC”.  We had signed up a field of 28 players,  who enjoyed the perfect fairways, well manicured tee boxes, and true and fast greens.  Course knowledge was key today, and keeping the ball in play was a premium.  Those players who kept their game in tact, were well awarded with low scores.   It was a joy to play this course today !
Welcome to all those new comers to our club.  Most of the players in the field are all signed up for the 2025 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 responsiblities 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.

“Post A Score”  will now be accomplished through GHIN.com and the USGA GHIN Mobile App where you will also have access to your stats, complete score history, Handicap Calculator, Golfer Lookup, and Handicap Card.

Keep in mind, that a GHIN Digital Profile is required to post scores on GHIN.com and through the USGA GHIN Mobile App. If you have not used GHIN.com or the GHIN Mobile App to post scores, you will need to use the “Create Profile” button to create your digital profile. It is easy to do and just takes a few minutes.

Recap Event 4 – With our fourth event in the books, we were blessed with picture perfect weather for a great golf day.   Our field of players felt the challenges of this course as many players got the message that being on the fairway was key, and keeping the ball below the cup on the greens was a must.   The greens were true but very fast.  In our “Flight A” group,   Alan Hoekstra took charge of his game and proved that he can play under challenging conditions by firing and scoring a low gross 79.      In the “B” flight,  Paul Deveau took on the course by keeping his ball in play and keeping his score under control.  He posted an 85 (gross) which also catapulted him to the #1 spot to take LOW NET honors – 72…way to go Paul !!!   In Flight C our newcomer Danny Chavez posted a low gross 91.    Bill Miller captured the top honors for  Flight “D” by posting a low gross 109 .

Today’s points were “Major Points” which several guys took advantage of as they moved themselves up the Leader Board.  Alan Hoekstra  was down in #16 place at the beginning of the day, but now earned the #3 spot.  Paul Deveau also made some good head way by racking enough points to take him to #2 spot.  Ebin Smith kept steady and still maintains the #1 spot on the Leader Board.

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
