Encinitas Ranch GC
Friday, January 6, 2010.
We had 18 players in our field today, the first event of our Seacoast Cup Golf Season. Players showed up early to warm up their swings and get a feel for the beautiful greens that have been nicely manicured over the past months here at Encinitas Ranch. One big change the players faced today was the number 1 tee that was changed permanently to be the hole closest to the starter’s booth (the former #10 tee). Most players were accepting of this change, as this was how the original architect of the course envisioned the layout to be. With this new layout, and a shorter first hole, players now have a good chance to have an opening scoring par; compared to the former starting hole (now #10) which mandates a long drive to have a chance at par.
The weather was picture perfect as the morning sun warmed up the cool temperatures. Within an hour some players complained that they didn’t put on their shorts for their round today. The course has been positively groomed, and is shaping up to the golfer's delight, compared to it’s poor conditions from a few months ago. Several players proved today that any extra Christmas Holiday treats and meals they enjoyed these past few weeks had no effect on their golf swing. Today it was all business in scoring points towards the Seacoast Cup 2010.
Those of us who stayed for lunch and hung around the clubhouse after the round actually saw Phil Mickelson in the Pro Shop. Rumor has it that he was inquiring about how to get in on the Seacoast Cup Points system. The Club Pro said that Phil heard through the grapevine that the competition in our Seacoast Christian Golf Club was moving to the next level and that the fun and enjoyment guys were having on the course was priceless. Also he said that Phil Mickelson heard that many guys in the group were showing great improvements in their golf game skills since playing with the group. Phil's been looking for other ways to take his game to another level. We'll see if Phil shows up to our next event.
Congratulations to Andy Trees who played steady and posted the low gross score 78 today. Low net honors goes to Jim Hopson who carefully navigated his game and kept it on cruise control to post a low net 68. There were 7 net skins won today and the results are posted below. In Team competition, we had a field of 5 teams. Those groups that had only 3 players in their group were assigned an extra player in a blind draw to fill their foursome. Team 5, consisiting of: Denny Sbarbaro, Bill Borgstadt, Jim Hopson, and Geoff Baynes won the Waltz Team completion. There were no pin competition holes for today’s event. Below is the score card and results.
New GHIN Index System – many of you posted your scores on Friday with the new GHIN Computer system which the SCGA has implemented last week. All SCGA member numbers were assigned a 7 digit member number. For the majority of our club, this meant a “9” was added to the beginning of your existing membership number. A few players were assigned an entirely new number. If you have any problems regarding your member number let me know. You can post and view your stats at : SCGA.org or visit GHIN.com. Our club allows players to post their scores online if you we not able to post your scores at the course. Below is a list of all our club members and their new membership numbers.

Mission - Seacoast Christian Golf Club, is a Men's Golf League that is open to golfers of all levels who desire to have an enjoyable time meeting and playing together with other golfers in the bond of Christian fellowship.
We have at least one event each month. All our golf outings involve
individual stroke gross and net play scoring. Team play games will
be introduced at some events. All play will conform to USGA rules.
Net scoring will be determined for only those golfers with a
current, verifiable official monthly golf index. Players who do not
have an official golf index may be given an unofficial golf handicap
for team play purposes only. A points scoring system will be applied
to the playing field's results and points earned will be determined
on each golfer's individual gross and net stroke play. Extra points
may be added to those who win in team competition.
