Seacoast Christian GC, June 2, 2017
News and Results – Event 6 – Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club
Welcome to the 6th event of the 2017 Seacoast Cup Golf Tour. Our June tour stop has taken us to the tight and challenging course at Carmel Mountain Ranch GC, located East of the 15 Interstate freeway . The course has had a few re designed features to accommodate improved water irrigation, but still this course needs your attention to keeping your ball in proper play through all 18 holes. Shots that don’t make it to the middle of the fairway, and approach shots to the green that are left above the cup will surely create havoc to the average golfer. Those players today who kept their ball in play, paid attention to putting details, and kept their cool during their round, had a chance to score well.
A big welcome to: Tim Haywood and Curt Cecconi who have joined us for the first time this golf season. Good to have you guys come out to enjoy our fun.
Congratulations to our winners:
Low Gross Winners
Flight A – Justin Frisco (81)
Flight B – Curtis Chan (86)
Flight C – John Riggs / Geoff Baynes (95)
Low Net Winner – Curtis Chan (70)
Next Event: Friday, July 21, 2017 Place: Twin Oaks GC
Quest for the 2017 Seacoast Cup– This year will be filled with full of fun times on the golf course. Monthly Friday events will be available for golf stroke play competition. All players who have an office SCGA index will be place in respective flights to compete with players of their own golf playing ability / potential. Players will earn points according to their placing in each event. Two Major events will be available for a 27 hole competition (April / July) where there will be an increased value in earned points. September begins the “Playoff Season” where twenty players will earn their way to this year’s match play event. Points are earned by finishing well in both individual low gross and low net score postings. Additionally points may earned in different team and individual events ranging from match play, 4 man team best ball, and 2 man best ball events. Net Skins are also another category that allows players to add points to their monthly points.
Remember only those players who have an Official SCGA or USGA golf index qualify for low net play and compete in Seacoast Christian Golf Club Points System. Players who participate in our events who do not have an official golf index / handicap, will be assigned a “Flight” depending on their level of play. These players also may be assigned a course handicap and may participate and qualify for team net play points. Players who desire to qualify for Seacoast Christian GC Playoffs, must be a member of our SCGA affiliate club. For information on how to become a member and to obtain an official golf index contact Curtis Chan and visit : Membership and SCGA.
Leader board – Our June event has taken several players to new improved levels on our leader board. Our leader, Ted Clinite, still holds the top spot as he taken a commanding lead from his great early season play. Geoff Baynes also continues to play steady golf and enjoys the 2nd spots on our board. Curtis Chan has shown signs of assembling an “A” game and has crept up to the 3rd spot. Other noteables are Justin Frisco who shot a nice round and has repositioned himself from the 13th seed to now the 7th seeded position. Also steadily rising on our board is John Riggs who took second place in net scoring and now sits in the 13th spot of our leader board. Nice shooting guys !!
We are drawing closer to our 2017 Playoff Season, beginning September 2017. The top 20 players will earn a spot to compete for the coveted Seacoast Cup Championship. Remember, we have 2 more events before our top 20 players are identified, with our August 4, event being the last of our “Major” events, where “big” points can be earned. So if you are desiring to have a fun filled playoff season, get your swing in gear and come on out for our next event.
Note: Below is our events calendar for the remainder of the year. Note that the calendar has had a change as there will no longer be a June 30 event which is now scheduled for July 21. Our next event will be July 21.
