REDHAWK
MENS GOLF CLUB
Welcome
to New Members
The
Redhawk Mens Club is a club for golfers wishing to
keep a handicap and/or participate in regular
tournaments at the Redhawk Golf Course.
The Club is open to all, and despite the
name, inclusion means girls, women, and boys who
wish to establish an official handicap.
The tournaments themselves are limited to
people using the men�s tees.
SCGA
Relations
Redhawk
golf course is a member club of the Southern
California Golf Association (SCGA), which is
recognized by the United States Golf Association (USGA).
When you join, you become an individual
member of the SCGA.
As such you receive a handicap that is
recognized world-wide; actually required at some
Scottish & European golf courses.
You will receive an identification number
from the SCGA & you also get a packet of
�stuff� that the SCGA thinks you need
or want.
Communication
& Privacy
Your
personal information as submitted on the SCGA
application is not shared.
The golf course holds it privately, as does
the SCGA. In
all email communication from the Mens Club the
address is hidden in the BCC: format so your address
will not be shared.
Having said that, there is a need for
communication from the club, the course, and the
SCGA from time to time, so some form of
communication is needed, and the preferred form is
the email address.
But at least a phone number.
Handicap
Responsibility
The
SCGA and the Mens Club take handicapping very
seriously. Accuracy
& honesty are critical.
Therefore there is provision for �peer
review�, established by the SCGA, of your
scores. They
will be publicly posted for all members.
And the Club conducts all tournaments
accurately in accordance with the rules of the SCGA/USGA,
& expects the same for all posted scores.
Posting
All
completed rounds of golf are to be posted to your
personal handicap history, regardless of the score
and the course on which it was achieved.
The golfer is individually responsible for
posting his rounds.
Further the SCGA practices �Equitable
Stroke Control� or ESC.
See your packet from the SCGA for further
information, or send an email to a Mens Club
Director. Any
shop employee will happily help with the posting
process, which can be done at the shop or home.
Tournaments
Regular
Redhawk Mens Club tournaments are conducted
Tuesdays, at 8AM in the Summer and 9AM in the
Winter. Prize
awards for Gross Score, Net Score, and Closest to
the Pin on par holes.
Additionally the 3rd tournament
each month is some unusual and/or team event, just
to keep things interesting.
The
course provides free range balls each Tuesday by 1
hour before the tournament.
Also please be ready to leave the golf cart
area by 10 minutes before the start time to allow

shotgun� tee locations � generally
