We had a field 36 players last Friday, June 7, 2024.  Our tour stop was at the challenging Links at Lakehouse GC,  in San Marcos, California.   The early morning weather was perfect with cloud cover and mild temperature for our round.  This course has it’s challenges, and only those players that have course management skills in their bag will have a chance to post low scores.
STROKE PLAY – Our regular Low Gross / Low Net scoring will also be implemented and players will be competing in 4 flights.  Players who do not have an “official golf index” will be assigned a “flight” at the decision of our golf committee.
MATCH PLAY – Extra points would be available in “Match Play Card Off” format today.  Players would be paired up according to their monthly golf indices and match up against an opponent who is comparable playing potential.  A match play “Win” will earn players 50 points.  Tie matches will each earn 25 points.

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 6 – Players got off early and took on the challenge of The Links at Lakehouse.    Ted Clinite  came out with his “A” game and displayed his full golf swing skills posting a low gross 78.  Ted declared he should have done better as he lipped out at least 3 putts that should have dropped, but “that’s golf!”   Also in our “A” flight, Steve Osborn  showcased his new irons which scored him “80”  to prove that he could be a contender if only he could be out more with our group.   Steve’s “laser guided” long drives racked him up a few “Long Drive” pins.   Ebin Smith  has also been tuning up his swing this year and he steadily posted a solid low gross “79” which helped him climb up the leaderboard to 2nd place.

In our “Flight B”  Ron O’Bard kept his golf composure and posted a low gross “86”on this challenging course,  which helped his efforts to solidify a spot as we get nearer to the playoffs.  Alan Hoekstra, also played steady today and held off any contenders for top spots on our leaderboard, and now Alan has taken over the coveted 1st place spot on our leader board.

In “Flight C”  Mike Haug, revived his golf game and displayed elements of “golf greatness.”  He admits that his game has been off for the past few years, but today something clicked and his golf bag became alive.  Mike posted a low gross “84” which helped his efforts to gain needed points for the year.

In “Flight D” Nick Zoch went low and posted a low gross “84” / Low net “63” which gave him overall honors of earning up big points (155 pts).  Nick now sits at 5th place position.

 

NoteablesCurtis Chan  nabbed 2x Closest to the pins as he pin pointed his irons to get close to the par 3s…he made a birdie putt (net eagle) on #11 which earned him a “net skin”…all this added up 125 points towards his season totals and dropped him into 7th place…..Way to go “Chan Man” !

We’re now  approaching the tail end of our regular golf season as we have 2 more regular events left before we move into our “Seacoast Cup Playoffs” in August.  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
