Senior Mens Golf Association - North Ridge Country Club
Raleigh NC USA
The Men's Senior Golf Association (SGA) at North Ridge Country Club, Raleigh NC, USA is a group whose primary purpose is: Enjoying golf!
SGA members also have at least three major tournaments a year, held at North Ridge:
- Match play tournament
- SGA Championship
- One-day mixed-team event held with the cooperation of the North Ridge Country Club Ladies Golf Association
In addition, SGA members may sign up to participate in the Capital City Interclub events. The events are one-day flighted events (with lunch) held throughout the months of April-thru-October.
The SGA also holds frequent one-day shotgun start events (most include lunch) for SGA members.
The purpose of this Web site is to provide information related to the above as well as to provide a central place for inter-member (SGA-related) communication.

I have completed my 2019 Golf Course-oriented photo calendar. That said, if you have a photo or two that I could use instead of something that I did use: Terrific (my photos tend to be "repetitive" and boring to many of you, I am sure!). Thank you, in advance, if you have a photo or two that you would be willing to share with me and with others.

- Some Information of Interest from the USGA
You may have received an eMail from the USGA (if you are on their eMail distribution list). A part that caught my attention is briefly summarized below:
New World Handicap System Designed to Welcome More Golfers
The new system will feature the following:- Flexibility in formats of play, allowing both competitive and recreational rounds to count for handicap purposes and ensuring that a golfer’s handicap is more reflective of potential ability
- A minimal number of scores needed to obtain a new handicap; a recommendation that the number of scores needed to obtain a new handicap be 54 holes from any combination of 18-hole and 9-hole rounds, but with some discretion available for national or regional associations to set a different minimum within their own jurisdiction
- A consistent handicap that is portable from course to course and country to country through worldwide use of the USGA Course and Slope Rating System, already successfully used in more than 80 countries
- An average-based calculation of a handicap, taken from the best eight out of the last 20 scores and factoring in memory of demonstrated ability for better responsiveness and control
- A calculation that considers the impact that abnormal course and weather conditions might have on a player’s performance each day
- Daily handicap revisions, taking account of the course and weather conditions calculation
- A limit of Net Double Bogey on the maximum hole score (for handicapping purposes only). Example: A Playing Handicap of 18 receives one stroke per hole for 18 holes; the player’s max score is triple bogey on any hole, which equals a Net Double Bogey.
- A maximum handicap limit of 54.0, regardless of gender, to encourage more golfers to measure and track their performance to increase their enjoyment of the game
Of course -- always refer to the official USGA site. The link for the above as of April 1, 2018 was: http://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/Handicapping/world-handicap-system/WHS-resources.html

- Do You Have any Old Photos Taken while on one or more of NRCC Golf Holes/etc.
If you were/are a member of North Ridge CC in Raleigh NC. and you are reading this....
North Ridge's 50th anniversary was recently held. I am looking for any paper-or-other-hardcopy photos (or digital, for that matter) that you have in your possession and would be willing to share. If you DO have some old "stuff" and ARE willing to share, just send me an eMail and/or place the hard-copy photos in an envelope with your name on the envelope and have the locker room assistant place them in my locker. I will take care of scanning the hard-copy and getting the hard-copy back to you. My aim is to protect your material to the best of my ability and, in turn, get the hard-copy back to you intact. I will try my best...
I am especially looking for anything before 2005 or so -- and, for golf hole photos - but: Anything you may be willing to share as part of the 50th NRCC anniv. would be great.
If you eMail me, I will of course contact you to arrange for my scanning the hard-copy at your convenience.
Thank you in advance!

- NRCC Favorite Holes' Vote
The most recent vote that came in was for Oaks #13. The voter had a hole-in-one there in 2015; that is certainly a reason for a golf hole being a "favorite" -- plus, from my point of view: The multiple tee placements and the challenging way that Gene Hamm (the Oaks' outside-nine golf course designer) laid out the green -- and, of course the scenic part of the golf hole experience when playing Oaks #13 make this an excellent choice for Favorite Golf Hole at North Ridge... I, personally, rank it about 5th of my favorites of the 36 North Ridge golf holes. If pressed, I would say (in no particular order) my "Top 4" are: Oaks 11, Oaks 18, Lakes 12, Lakes 13. Your favorites? Give me a comeback or take a look at:
Voting for Favorite Hole at NRCC
- Un-official Naming of Golf Holes at NRCC
I have built a Web page on our site for this. Purely un-official. Just for fun.We had two votes come in during June, 2011. Thanks! Since then: No feedback. The votes were for Lakes 14 as "Turtle Hole" (that hole now has two vote-names: "Perfection" and "Turtle Hole"; I left the chosen name as "Perfection" as the votes are one-each and I make the final decision)! The second vote was for Lakes 16 and "Big Bertha" - Big Bertha continues to be the name of choice for Lakes 16.

- Question(s) of the Week
I had a vote come in for the best 18th hole of our Interclubs. The voter picked #18 at Brier Creek. A good choice! See, below, for more information. Reminder: If you DO vote, please include your eMail address and name on your input (that will NOT be published; it, just, lets me know you are not a "spammer"). Thanks!
- What is your favorite (NRCC SGA) 18th Hole on the Interclub "Circuit"? - and: Why is that your favorite?
Answer/comment so far:
- Macgregor's 18th. Visually beautiful and allows for all handicappers to have a chance to contribute. I also could have chosen: Prestonwood Highlands #18, Brier Creek's #18, Bentwinds #18, Raleigh's #18 or, for that matter: North Ridge Oaks #18. We get to play a lot of great finishing holes! ds

For now: Enjoy your SGA golf and let me know if you have a "Shot of the Day" to report! For the SGA Tuesday Main Web Page visit:
Shot of the (SGA)Day October 29, 2019 Bob Smith: Recovery Shot after Missed Drive, Oaks #12 Par 4. Bob's shot this day deserves a plaque/brick in the ground from where he hit his second shot. I witnessed it and I definitely question whether I could ever see it come about again. A true "Shot of the Day".
Bob had driven off-the-tee beautifully all day -- however, on Oaks 12th he "jerked" his drive short-left, leaving him short of the corner (Even though the corner has been cleared a bit as a result of the 2019 Oaks Renovation; he was blocked and could not see the green). Bob told me later that the shot GPSed 205yds -- however, I am sure the path the shot had to take was around 230yds. The group ahead of our group was on the green and, after their carts headed to the 13th we signaled Bob that the green area was clear. He hit his shot toward the right-side near-the-green trees, told the shot to go right to left -- and the shot did so: Ending up on the green 8 feet from the pin! What a shot. To cement the shot being a "Shot of the Day": He made the putt - center. If you ever play with Bob on Oaks 12th, ask him to show you where his second shot started -- and, give it a try. The spot deserves a plaque.... I am glad I could witness it! Thank you, Bob, for showing me how it is done. If you witnessed or executed another "Shot of the Day" as part of an SGA Event, just send us an eMail To see an Archive of Shots of the Days go to:
