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 have reserved-tee-time access to one of the two North Ridge Country Club courses each Tuesday morning. Participants sign up at the pro shop prior to the day's event; preferably, signing up a few days in advance of each Tuesday.

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.

News/Most-Recent Updates

  • SGA Tuesdays

    I have not had a chance to play on many SGA Tuesdays in 2012. Only one, in fact.

    However, I am curious about your view on SGA Tuesdays: Should we simply tell the Pro Shop to not reserve any times for SGA Tuesday as most players seemed to be (at least the day I played) forming their own groups on SGA Tuesday and not playing in the "scramble"/reserved time-slot?

    I am thinking: Why have SGA Tuesday and have noone participate?

    I asked last year, on this Website, WHY a player would play on Tuesday and not play in the SGA Tuesday competition and noone responded.

    My question is: Should we just stop having SGA Tuesday?

    If you have a comment, I would appreciate a comeback. I will keep you "anonymous" (only I will ever know what you said and who you are). I might publish your comment (keeping you anonymous) if you agree for that. We see.

  • NRCC Favorite Holes' Vote

    The most recent vote that came in was for Lakes #14. Previously, the voter had picked Oaks #18. Both are good choices, in my opinion! If interested, 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-nanes: "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.
    Why not send YOUR vote in?

    Lakes #14
    		Turtle Hole
    Lakes #16
    		Big Bertha

  • 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!

    1. 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

Shot(s) of the (Tues)Day(s) October 18

Al Spicer. Al's last two holes were Lakes 16 and Lakes 17. Both holes were fine pars. On 16, his tee shot was just short of the green and he made a very nice approach shot and the resultant uphill par putt was in the middle of the cup. On Lakes 17, he pulled his drive slightly left into the rough and made a good recovery shot to the middle of the fairway 108 yards to the green - with a back pin facing him. He hit a perfect wedge 2' 5" from the cup and had an "easy" par putt to end the day with two solid pars.

If you witnessed or executed another "Shot of the Day" on the above date as part of SGA Tuesday, just send us an eMail

SGA Match Play

The sign-up sheet is "up" for the 2012 tournament. Sign up soon - Before May 31, 2012. It would be great if we could get two full flights. With over 100 SGA members, we should be able to get 32 players to participate. Why not YOU?!!!!

2012 SGA Match Play Ladder Participants as of May 17, 2012

In 2011, our two flight winners were: The Commie Riggsbee and Willis Hedgepeth team and the Dave Mazo and John Purves team. For more information go to:

2011 SGA Match Play Ladder

If you have any recent results not shown on the above Website, thank you in advance for sending such to: Webmaster@NRCCSeniorMensGolf.org

Note: The 2011 tournament was played as "difference". That is to say: Subtracting the low handicap from the other three participants and taking the strokes as they lie.

When mixed tees were involved, handicap adjustments took place BEFORE the subtraction mentioned above. White tee played their handicap as-is, Black tee handicaps were REDUCED by two strokes (from the Black tee handicap) and Blue tee handicaps were INCREASED by two strokes (to the Blue tee handicap). Once this adjustment was done, THEN we subtracted the lowest handicap from the other player's handicaps and took strokes as they lie.
