What an amazing round Rough Ryders played. They beat Reckless Driving by 46-8 and won the SCIGL Championship 2022-2023. Congratulations!

If you want to be a part of this experience, all you need is the official handicap through GHIN and let us know!

Meet our rules chairman and captain of Reckless Driving, Genesis Cortez.

His story is of how he started playing golf is spectacularly interesting.

"My first golf outing was a forced event when I had to attend my best friend's bachelor party. I always thought golf was boring and stupid, but on that day, I got hooked. Fast forward 7 years later, I've taken several lessons, turned my wife into a dedicated golfer, worked at Golf Galaxy, started and shut down my own club repair company, and become the SCIGL's Handicap & Rules Chairman. As with most things, I've discovered that golf is more about the journey and who you travel with than it is about the end result. But if that end result is a lower handicap, longer drive, or championships, all the better.” - Genesis Cortez

Let me introduce you to our first team captain, David Ellerman. David is the captain of Copy Cats where his wife, Mary, plays a huge part of his team as well.

“I have been playing golf for over 25 years and finally realized that it isn't about the game, it's the journey. My late father in law is the one that truly got my love of golf burning. I love playing a casual game with friends and family as much as I love playing competitively. I have been involved with SCIGL for close to 10 years and a Captain for most of those years. I recently took on the position of VP and look forward to growing this league for many years to come.” - David Ellerman

Fun fact daily: Tiger Woods had his first hole in one at the age of 6 years old!! And not anywhere far, but Heartwell Golf Course in Long Beach. Since then, he has had other 19 hole in ones under his belt. How many have you had?
