 A COUPLE OF THINGS:  WE ALL NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE NEED TO POST OUR SCORES IN A TIMELY MANNER, GIVEN THAT THE POSTING OPTION AT THE COURSE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE, AND THAT HANDICAP INDEXES ARE RE-CALCULATED ON A DAILY BASIS.  PLEASE POST ON YOUR PHONE OR PC, IDEALLY ON THE DAY THAT YOU PLAY.  CALL JOHN CRAIG OR GARY ADKINS OR FRED FLORES IF YOU NEED HELP WITH THAT.  ALSO, IT’S TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL FOR 2021

WE ENCOURAGE ALL PAISANOS TO INFORM THEMSELVES ABOUT THE NEW WORLD HANDICAP SYSTEM, WHICH WENT INTO EFFECT JAN. 6, 2021.  ALL DETAILS CAN BE FOUND ON THE SCGA WEBSITE – scga.org.  OF PARTICULAR NOTE IS THE ELIMINATION OF THE OLD ‘EQUITABLE STROKE CONTROL’ SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING WHAT SCORE TO POST.  THE NEW LIMIT FOR ALL INDEXES/HANDICAPS IS  NET DOUBLE BOGEY,  WHICH IS PAR, PLUS TWO, PLUS WHATEVER HANDICAP STROKE(S) YOU WOULD GET ON THAT HOLE.

THE TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE POLICY ON RAIN IS THIS:  CALL THE GOLF COURSE ON THE MORNING OF THE TOURNAMENT, AND, IF THEY ARE OPEN, AND ALLOWING THE USE OF GOLF CARTS, THEN THE TOURNAMENT IS ON.

A NOTE ABOUT MATCH PLAY:  AT THE COMPLETION OF A MATCH, YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO POST NET PAR ON THE REMAINDER OF THE HOLES.  IF THE MATCH HAS GONE 14 HOLES, AND YOU STOP PLAYING AND WANT THE POST A SCORE, TAKE NET PAR FOR THE REMAINING HOLES.  IF YOU CONTINUE PLAYING, HOWEVER, TAKE THE SCORE YOU ACTUALLY MAKE FOR POSTING PURPOSES.

ATTENTION ALL PAISANOS, ESPECIALLY NEW MEMBERS  –  PLEASE REFER TO CLUB INFO / TOURNAMENT POLICIES ON THE WEBSITE FOR INFORMATION ON OUR VARIOUS FORMATS AND MAJOR TOURNAMENTS DURING THE YEAR.

Notice about scoring:  When you keep a fellow competitor’s score, you are his marker, and are responsible for entering his correct scores. Whenever a situation arises where there is any question as to the correct score for a given hole, the correct score must be decided upon as soon as possible, preferably before teeing off on the next hole, but, at the very least, before turning in a completed and signed scorecard, in order that the Tournament Committee may determine the correct score before closing the tournament. Thanks for your co-operation.                                     

NOTE ABOUT SCORING  –  PLEASE KEEP TRACK OF YOUR HOLE SCORES AND CHECK THEM BEFORE SIGNING AND TURNING IN YOUR SCORECARD.   YOU ARE ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENTERING THE CORRECT GROSS SCORES FOR EVERY HOLE.  IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE TO CHECK THE ADDITION FOR THE 9 & 18 HOLE TOTALS, GROSS & NET, BUT IT WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED IF YOU WOULD ADD, ENTER, AND CHECK THE 9 & 18 HOLE TOTALS, GROSS & NET, BEFORE TURNING IN YOUR SCORECARD.

IF YOU KEEP YOUR HOLE SCORES IN THE “MARKER SCORE” LINE AT THE TOP OF THE SCORECARD THAT YOU ARE SCORING FOR YOUR FELLOW COMPETITOR, THEN YOU CAN COMPARE THEM WITH YOUR OFFICIAL SCORECARD TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE CORRECT  BEFORE YOU TURN IT IN.
