Recap Event 8 – With our eighth event in the books, our players enjoyed a great day of golf at The Rancho Bernardo Inn GC. This course is full of challenge and fun, but will get the best of you if you don’t keep your ball on the fairway. Many players fell into scrambling mode and had to put their short game skills into play to survive their round. Putting your ball on the right side of the green meant all the difference from a 2 putt experience or a dreaded “three putt.”
Both John Riggs and Rhett Dahle posted low net 68’s to help their standings status. In fact both took advantage of the “Major” points and as they both racked up 250 points today to climb their way up the leaderboard. Both of them now are in the TOP 4. Way to go John & Rhett !!!! Ebin Smith and Ted Clinite are the other 2 players who hung in there and kept their TOP 4 status. Other players who made some advances to getting themselves solidly in playoff contention are: Alan Hoekstra, John Estill, Steve Knorr, and Bruce Huebner. Both Curtis Chan and Paul Deveau had TOP 4 status before today’s round, but their “average” play today only let other players move up the leaderboard.
Our “Post Season” playoffs are now here. Event 9 is going to ROUND 1 of our playoffs, and with our new format, anyone can rack up playoff points to get to the next level. We will be at Twin Oaks GC, in San Marcos in less than 2 week. Our playoff season has 2 events each month so study the schedule and points distribution carefully as it is posted below. If you have any questions, please call or email Curtis Chan.
Our golf season is now transitioning into our ” Seacoast Cup – Playoff Season” and this is the time when players must activate their “A” game to make it deep into the playoffs. The competition is fierce and every point counts. If you are not familiar with how our playoff season works, please study the calendar below so you can understand how you can make it into the playoffs and perhaps be a candidate to hoist the trophy this year.

How to earn “Playoff Points” – our same format will be played with Low Gross / Low Net with all remaining events. The added feature to the playoffs is that each player will be matched up in “MATCH PLAY” to earn extra playoff points. For Rounds 1 and Round 2, ALL players are able to participate to earn “Championship Points” that will be added to player’s season totals. It is only when we get to the 3rd round of our playoffs, will the CUT line be established. Those players who have sufficient points will to to the next round in the “Championship Bracket.” All other players will continue to compete, but will compete in the “Player’s Brackets.”
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
