Event 9 – August 23, 2024 “Round 1 Playoffs” Results – Twin Oaks GC, San Marcos – California

Posted on Posted in Uncategorized

 

 

 


We had a field 30 players last Friday, August 23, 2024.  Our tour stop was at the challenging Twin Oaks GC,  in San Marcos, Californai.   The early morning weather was perfect  at 75 degrees with sunshine all around.  The course was set up for a great competitive day.  Course management skills was a must to score well today, and a few players had their “A” game on display.  Inability to hit fairways and greens today will add strokes to one’s score  and will for sure expose imperfections in a player’s game.
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.
Since today’s event  (Event 9) marks “ROUND 1” of our Seacoast Cup playoffs, “match play” has been added as a competitive edge to gain “playoff points.”  The next 2 events are geared for players to earn as much points to their season totals to see who can be in the “TOP 8” by event 11.  Happy playing to all in the field today.

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.

Today’s Major Event also included a “Match Play Card-Off” – Players would be paired up in “match play” and compete against the player who is next to them on the field “index” list.  Players who are not paired up in their tee time groups but are having “Match Play” matchups will have their match compared and determined by the committee in a “Card Off ” match play.  Winning matches will be awarded 40 points.  TIE Matches will earn 20 points.

Here are the matchups and results:

 


Recap Event 9 – Players got off early and took on the challenge of Twin Oaks GC.    Several players  came out with their “A” games and displayed golf  skills which allowed them to post low scores and gain “Playoff Round 1 points” to begin their Playoff Post season on a positive note.  This course is tough enough and sometimes, just scoring “par” is a huge win.  Dave Ednoff & Geoff Baynes from Flight “C” both came out on fire and scored low gross 86 to help their playoff hopes.

In our “Flight D”  Steve Knorr took 1st place honors to add to their season totals.  In Fight “B” Paul Deveau caught some some fire to his golf bag and steadly fought his way to a low gross 88 to keep his playoff hopes alive.

In our “Flight A” group, Ted Clinite has cruised ahead on the leaderboard, and sneaked in 220 points today to his totals.  His game is sound and ready to go deep into the playoffs this year.  Today, Ted shot a low gross 77, to send a message to all that he’s ready to take on anyone to battle for the 2024 Seacoast Cup.

We’re now  approaching EVENT 10 (September 6) which marks our second playoff event  as we move deeper into our “Seacoast Cup Playoffs”  .  There’s a large group of guys eager to activate their “A” game to play deep into this year’s playoffs.    Below is the calendar of events for the playoffs so you can plan accordingly.


Our “Post Season” playoffs are now here.  Event 9 is going to be ROUND 1 “Wild Card”  of our playoffs, and with our “Playoff Season”  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 best golf game skills 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
