NCGA Rules!

On Saturday morning, ASMC Men's Club hosted an on-course rules seminar attended by our members as well as women from The Sea Gals. The 3-hour event was led by NCGA Rules specialists, Ray Coates of Redwood City and Lynne Gangi of San Jose.

Lynne Gangi discussing options for red stake and yellow stake areas

The customized course covered several topics including play on and around greens, relief from temporary and permanant obstructions, playing options in and around the bunker, water hazards, rules affecting the teeing ground, starting times and scoring.

The format was casual and upbeat, The co-leaders invited questions throughout the seminar and the members didn't dissapoint. The Q&A was lively and the NCGA representatives were kept on their toes.

Attendees were given copies of the USGA 2018 Rules book and a convenient bag tag summarizing the most common rules and resulting penalties if broken.

Thanks to Bill Miller, ASMC Rules Director for organizing the event and to Ray Coates & Lynne Gangi for leading a superb event.

Bob Alustiza Get's an Ace on 16!

Bob "Bob-O-Matic" Alustiza recorded a hole in one on the 16th hole at Seascape! On April 2nd, Bob grabbed his trusty 3 hybrid and zeroed in on a blue flag on the 16th hole. After 50 years of trying, Bob finally found the bottom of the cup. The boys in the bar were thankful, and thirsty!

Jeff Stanga's First Ace

On March 27th, Jeff Stanga recorded his first ace on the 16th hole at Seascape! Jeff used his 3 hybrid shooting at a blue pin that was about 176 yards out. He said "I thought I pulled out a 4 hybrid but when I put the club back in I noticed it was a 3. Would have been well short!".

The Seascaper salutes you and wishes you continued luck in your club selection (or lack thereof).
