Welcome to the Home of the El Dorado Men's Golf Club, a non-profit organization promoting fun and camaraderie through golf since 1962.
Mel Collins carded a brilliant 33 on the front 9 today to take a 4 stroke lead to the final 9 holes. Then Mel struggled a bit and Spanky played solid, squaring the tournament on 14. They each threatened birdies on the each of the final four holes only to finish deadlocked at +7. Mel settled the matter on the first playoff hole with a birdie as Spanky's bid lipped out.

As you know, El Dorado Park GC was re-rated by the SCGA on
October 30, and we have a new rating. Both the Blue and White course rating
will go up by .1 and the Slope will go up 1 from the Blue tees and 2 from
the White tees.
These new ratings will take effect on December 1, so scores
posted in the computer after that date will reflect the new numbers, and a
few of you may actually get that needed extra pop come December 1st!
I participated in the rating of the back 9, and it was quite
an interesting process. While I think it is dumb luck on the part of our
course architect, most of the bunkers, lakes and trees are positioned in
such a way as to really impact the average golfer (or what the Rating
Committee would call the "Bogey Golfer"). As such, I was not surprised to
see our rating go up a slight bit, particularly from the white tees, where
these obstacles are truly noticeable.
See you at the course.
Bob Livingstone
SCGA Delegate
