We had a great turn out of 38 players this past Friday, as our tour stop was Twin Oaks GC,  in San Marcos.  Many players took advantage of the break between “atmospheric river” rain storms that have been cruising along through Southern California.  Players were showcasing their golf swings today, and several players proved that they do have an “A” game.
Welcome to all those new comers to our club.  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.

“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.

Recap Event 3 – We finally have an event where we didn’t get the threat of rain, or had to deal with rain soaked fairways or greens.  Players were able to get out and feel the beauty of Southern California golf.   We did have several new players join our group today, and even a few players who have been away for a couple of years.  Our new comer, Ron O’Bard (friend of Bryan Blackwell) recently joined our golf group and made his statement that he is a contender.  Today Ron, posted a low gross 76 / low net 65 !   This definitely help earn him points to launch his standings on our leaderboard.    Ebin Smith  made some noise today, by shooting a low gross 75 / low net 68 and also he earned points in “Net Skins” and “Longest Drive” pins.  Ebin racked up 105 points today to help him go from 11th place to now the 5th seeded position.   Our leader on the leaderboard is Bill Miller who finished strong in Flight D.  Bill racked up 80 points for the day and this helped him slide into the #1 spot….way to go Bill !!    The next event we have on the books is our first “MAJOR” which allows players to earn “major” points for their season totals.

NoteablesEbin Smith scored an “EAGLE” from 80 yards out on hole #13.  After a solid drive, Ebin steered his wedge to drop his ball into the cup in two…NICE SCORING EBIN !!!

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
