SCPGA/NCPGA BOUNDARY CHANGE A new boundary line between the Southern California PGA and Northern California PGA has been established. The following is the new boundary: The new boundary would be a line from Beatty, Nevada, including Porterville, to the intersection of California State Highway 33 and California State Highway 41, then continuing with a line from the intersection of the 33 and 41 to the intersection of State Highway 58 and U.S. Highway 101 then a line extending from the 58 and 101 intersection to the intersection of Kern Avenue and State Highway 1 and from that intersection a line through the intersection of Ramona Avenue and S. Bay Blvd. in Baywood Park to the Pacific Ocean. Any questions in regards to this change, please contact the Section Office. scpga.com

Justin Doyle: It was an amazing experience that every fan of Golf should try to do once in their lifetime. The level of play by both the U.S. and European teams was astounding, and the environment created by 50,000 fans on the course at one time is second to none. This was my first time, and I’ll certainly be back again! 39
