Facebook is Coming to PCGC!!

At its January 2011 meeting, the board elected to have a test presence on Facebook.  We are not sure where it will go in terms of content but we hope that it will help:

  • attract new members
  • connect to our existing members who are on Facebook
  • encourage existing members to signup for a Facebook account

The content on our Facebook page will not be the primary repository of club info such as tee times, etc.  The PCGC website will continue to be the main place to receive all club information. 

However, Facebook can be used by club members to contact each other as well as a place for the club to post fun info such as photos and other tid bits.

We may also implement the Facebook "Like" buttons throughout the site.  The "Like" button is commonly found on websites as a method for viewers to send a "I like this article I found" link on their Facebook page.  Some testing will be involved over the next month or so before this feature goes live.

 

What are the Gilliam Points?

The Gilliam Points is named in memory of Walt Gilliam who was the first player to play both of Poplar's old and new courses.  Walt was a local guy and was a very good amateur golfer in his time including winning the SF City Golf Championship (1965) and runner up in the California State Amateur (1939, 1954).

Historically, the club started the points list as a means to get members into the TOC (Tournament of Champions) who have not normally qualified by winning a flight during the season.  But over time, the points system was changed to its current format of being a simple money list.

The Gilliam Points is essentially the amount of money you have won during the season.  There is no conversion rate.  One dollar equals one point.

Rules: Both players are penalized. Possible?

Is it possible to penalize both Player A and Player B on the same shot?

Can you think of a situation where this is possible?

 It can happen during a situation where Player A asks for advice and Player B answers.

If Player A asks – they are penalized 2 strokes.
If Player B answers – they are also penalized 2 strokes.

Here's a twist. According to Decision 8-1/25: In singles match play, if Player A asks for advice from Player B, it is irrelevant whether Player B gives advice because Player A lost the hole as soon as he asked.
