October 2026 SCGA Handicap and Delegate Report

SCGA Handicap Report

The following are the most improved golfers for the period from August 16th through September 15th. A minimum of three rounds need to be posted during this time frame. Congratulations to these fine gentlemen for their improvement.

Playing golf is supposed to be a fun game. Playing with family or friends, which Tees you play from can accommodate this goal. If you’re a single-digit handicapper, you would not want to play from the front Tees. However, if you play to an 18 handicap, playing from the back Tees is stressful. Rio Hondo has recommended Tees based on your past scoring. Playing from these Tees makes the game more fun and should reduce the time it takes to play 18 holes. During our tournaments, we do our best to place you on the correct Tee box based on your course handicap. When playing for fun, you should follow suit and play the same Tees.

October is our club championships for Gross and Net competitions. Winners will be allowed to play the SCGA Club Champions tournaments in December.

Please remember golf is a game, so have fun out there.
