We had a field 26 players last Friday, May 3, 2024.  Our tour stop was Native Oaks GC,  in Valley Center, California.   The weather was kind to us this time around as no threat of wet or rain which have plagued our monthly golf events this first part of our golf season.  The course was in great shape and our players came early to be challenged.
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.

Recap Event 5 – The course was in great shape waiting to be challenged by our field.  Steve Knorr and John Casey came out with their “A” game swings and displayed elements of greatness as they shot a lights out round for for flights and earned themselves top low net honors. Nice course management skills guys.   In our “A” flight, Ron O’Bard showcased his golf skills and posted a low gross 78 to prove that he  is a contender for the 2024 Championship Cup this year.  Dave Stapleton has also been tuning up his swing this year at “Golf Tec” and the results are showing up as he calmly posted a low gross 85 to take 1st place honors in his “B” flight.    Tom Martinson our current leader on our leaderboard, played well today and held off any contenders to take the top spot.  Unfortunately, Tom recently reported to our group that he and his wife recently sold their home in Carlsbad and are now making their retirement life move to beautiful Idaho.  Tom, we wish you and your wife all the best in your move and pray that you’ll settle into your new home well.  Tom says he’ll come a few more times to play with us, but he admits, his top spot standing will not last much longer.

Tom Martinson – Safe Travels !!  We will miss you !!

NoteablesSteve Knorr  captured 2x skins along with 2x pins to add to today’s big total of 120 points….Way to go Steve !

We’re now  approaching the middle part of our 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
