Shigaboo Golf

Played a full 18 for the first time in ages. It was at a discounted price because the greens were being aerated. I was expecting holes in the greens but they were putting sand on top of the holes. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a greens-keeper do that but I kind of preferred to putt on the thin layer of sand than the big holes all over the place. There were still holes but it wasn’t as bad as it usually is when they say they’re aerating. It ended up being a great day and a bargain at that.

This is what the greens looked like on every hole.

Quick 9 at MPK with Kazmatazu. We started behind a 5-some and were thinking it was going to be a long day but whatd’ya know,  they let us pass!

It looks like the folks over at the Southern California Golf Association upgraded their website. Not only that but they also changed their logo. The new logo looks a lot more modern and sleek. I suppose the old one was a little bit outdated but I’ve gotten so used to it. I can’t say that I dislike the new one and maybe it was time for change. I poked around a little bit and the new website seems pretty cool. It appears that you can post scores if you’re a member and it will be reflected in your official handicap. You have to have a GHIN or SCGA number and your club has to allow internet posting as well. Unfortunately for myself, Glendora C.C. doesn’t support online posting. Ah well, maybe one day.

*UPDATE March 12th, 2010: I got a new SCGA card in the mail and they gave me a GHIN number which was simply the number 9 in front of my old SCGA  number! I was able to activate a profile on the new site and they even allow posting statistics(like driving distance and fairways hit) with their eGolfer application. I’m really glad they updated everything to the 21st century. Thanks SCGA!
