August 2026 - Newsletter

 

Hi EGC Golfers,

 

It’s been a while since we’ve sent out a newsletter, so here’s the latest EGC News for August. If you haven't played golf with us in a while, we'd love to see you come out and join us for one of our last few events this year - either Weekend Series or Thursday League!

 

Upcoming Events

Club Championship – August 21 and 22 – Please join us for our two-day annual Club Championship next weekend. Signups close this Sunday evening (8/16). Day 1 is at Druids Glen, while the final will be at The Home Course. We will be awarding overall Club Champion (gross), Senior Club Champion (over-55 gross) and paying out the top positions in Net. The Club Champion and Senior Club Champion are eligible for the annual Washington Golf “Champion of Champions” event next April.  Let’s have a good club showing for our championship. Thursday-only players are welcome as well. (Minimum 54 holes played in EGC events required for participation).

 

North Bellingham – August 29 - Price Reduction – now $100 (was $108). This is a bit longer drive than most of our events but it’s a great course and typically a fun round. The initial price was $108, we’ve reduce it to $100, so sign up now!

 

White Horse (Kingston) – September 12 – It’s time to take the Ferry over to Kingston for our annual White Horse Tournament, coming up in September. Please join us for what is always a fun trip and course. Signups will open soon. This is our last regularly scheduled Weekend Series for 2026.

 

Thursday League Points Cup Championship – Late September, exact weekend TBD - The Thursday League Points Cup Championship will be a two-day event on a Saturday and Sunday in late September. We’re waiting for confirmation from Willows Run on their green punching schedule before setting a firm date. This event is for the top 36 points winners in our Thursday league (field may be expanded if people can’t make the dates). The top points winners will also get several strokes advantage going into the weekend event. You get 20 participation points for playing each week, plus 1 point for each dollar won in the stroke play competition, so there are still at least 4 weeks to keep earning points! (See current standings below, and on the Standings tab of the Thursday League portal). 

 

Weekend Series Results

Eagles Pride (8/1) – Our 27-hole event, where we play two man teams for 9-holes Best Ball, 9-holes Chapman (alternate shot) and 9-holes Scramble.  24 players (12 teams) competed in the overall 27-hole event, Deven Khana and Chris Evans teamed up for a -10 net overall to win ($200), with Brent Taylor and Tony Zamaripa a close second at -7. Brandon and Michelle Mobley finished third, with Adam Lund and Sid Mandyam fourth. Under the individual rounds (three-bar menu on a phone), Deven and Chris won the first two rounds (Best Ball and Chapman), while Brent and Tony took the Scramble prize ($50 each round).

Eagles Pride - JBLM (27 holes) | Live Tourney

 

Cedarcrest (7/11) – 18 players played Cedarcrest in Marysville on July 11. It was a tough, narrow course and scores soared as balls soared into the trees. Josh Peterson kept the ball in play to win Flight 1, with Deven and Brent finishing in a tie for second. In Flight 2, John Gray had a good day as well keeping the ball straight, winning Flight 2, with Dave Rudduck and Steve Morin also tying for second. Deven had a good day with Skins, winning 3 gross and 1 net skins.

Thursday League Standings

In June, our leaderboard was Chris Carpenter, Dave Rudduck, Deven, Josh and Isaac Gross (in that order). Benjamin Lehman has come from deep in the field to take top spot as of Aug 13, with Brent in second. Dave and Deven slipped down a bit to 3rd and 6th, with Mark in 4th and Lew in 5th.

EGC Board Needs You!

It’s time to start thinking about next year, and we’re looking for help. EGC is run by a volunteer board and tournament directors, and depends on our membership to volunteer to help keep the club running year after year. 

 

Brent Taylor will be stepping down from his President/Treasurer/Handicap Chairman role in 2027, after serving EGC and our predecessor Willows Run Men’s Club as President for over a dozen years! We want to thank Brent for his service and his longstanding efforts building and keeping our club running year after year, but he’s due a break to be “just a golfer.”  We also lost a board member / Thursday League tournament manager earlier this year in Tom Osborn. 

 

What we need: We will need at least a couple new people to help run tournaments (mostly set up the pairings, run the tournament, send out results), and will definitely need a new treasurer. We need a treasurer to handle our weekly banking and payouts and year-end accounting. To run a tournament, we’ll train you on using our Live Tourney software and managing payouts.  We especially would like to invite some of our younger members to consider these roles, to help inject a younger voice into the running of the club and help establish a long-term future.

 

Thursday League Tee Times and Sunset

It’s that time of year when sunset happens earlier and earlier each day. Did you realize that between today and this time next week, sunset will be 12-13 minutes earlier? In fact, sunset this week will be about the same time as it was on April 30! This means we are having to move up Thursday League tee times each week to stay ahead of Sunset. We are trying to time the last tee time to allow just enough time to finish before sunset, to allow as many people to play as possible, but we’re limited by daylight.

 

Match Play Update

We’re getting close to our championship matches. For Presidents Cup, we have one semifinal to complete, then the championship. In Four Ball, both Semifinals are still pending, then the championship. If you’re still in Match Play, make sure you schedule as soon as possible so your championship match can be completed in September while the weather is still good for golf.

Thanks for Reading, we hope to see all of you on the golf course soon!

June 2026 - Newsletter

 

There's a lot of news this month, including a new tournament on June 27th.

 

https://egc.golfgenius.com – for sign-up and event information.

 

Live Tourney TIP: Live Tourney Scoring – Final Hole Score – be sure to hit “Submit Scores” after your last hole – whether it’s 9 on Thursdays, 18 on weekends, or match play. Or, hit “Next Hole” arrow. This is what saves/records your final hole score. If you don’t hit it, the final hole score isn’t sent in.

 

Upcoming Events

 

Avalon 27 Holes – On June 20 (longest Saturday of the year), we play all 27 holes (North, South and West) at Avalon Golf Links in Burlington. This is one of our perennially popular events, a bit of a marathon, but a fun challenge. You can get a cart or walk the whole 27, either way it’s a fun day with a lot of golf. Last Chance - Signups close 6/12.

 

[NEW] Allenmore – Just added, watch for the signup link in the next day or so! We’ve added Allenmore in Tacoma on June 27th. We are waiting on final confirmation for starting tee time and fee – watch your inbox for the signup mail. We will have about a week for signups.

 

Gold Mountain – 36 holes, covering both the Cascade and Olympic course in one day, on Friday July 3rd. What a great way to kick off the 4th of July weekend celebration, the 250th anniversary of the USA, with 36 holes of golf in one day.

 

Cedarcrest – On July 11, we’ll play at Cedarcrest Golf Course in Marysville. Straight 18-hole stroke play, a relief after 27- and 36-hole marathons. Built in 1927, Cedarcrest is a favorite for golfers of all skill levels. This picturesque 3-star course, offers an unparalleled golfing experience - challenging play, natural beauty, meticulous greens and endless fun. An abundance of mature evergreen trees line the fairways, natural water features are plentiful and the addition of 52 sand bunkers in 2010 guard the small undulating greens. Measuring just under 6,000 yards with a par of 70, the course is not long by today's standards, but golfers must be on their game. Registration opens 6/14.

 

Cedar Irons (NEW - Formerly North Shore) in Tacoma - Cedar Irons Golf Club is the new name for North Shore Golf Course in Tacoma. It just reopened in May following a two-year closure and $7.5MM renovation.  From the Tacoma News Tribune article,

  • Cedar Irons completely rebuilt putting surfaces on Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 6.
  • No. 2, once a 347-yard par 4, now plays over 400 yards.
  • No. 3, once a par 5, was shortened to a par 4.
  • No. 5, once a par 4, was stretched into a par 5.
  • No. 17, once a par 3, was stretched into a Par 4 that turned the back nine into a Par 36.
  • Updated practice facilities include new range targets, an improved chipping green, and covered hitting stalls.

Join us on July 25th to try out this newly improved course and see how it plays. Watch for the signup mail on June 28th.

 

Weekend Series Results

 

Meadow Park – 5/23

It was a tough late-May round at Meadow Park, with fast, hilly greens and a chilly, breezy morning in the 50s that gave way to sunshine on the back nine. Robert Lutz and Brent Taylor shared gross honors, both firing 82s, while Gabriel Lichten dominated the net competition, cruising to victory with a net 72 — one over par — aided by a birdie on the opening hole. Chris Carpenter and Brent Taylor tied for second at net 75, with Dave Rudduck (77) and a logjam of three players at 78 rounding out the leaderboard.

 

Skins stayed competitive throughout. Lichten won hole 1 (gross and net), Chris Evans birdied two, and Brent Taylor cashed in with a birdie at nine and an eagle on the net side. Robert Lutz was the day's top skins winner, picking up the par at fourteen and birdies at seventeen (gross and net). Lew Brunhaver, Lauren Dubrouillet, and John Gray each notched skins as well — Gray's coming on a pitch-in from 50 yards that rolled around the hill in back, then teetered on the cup before dropping for par.

 

Robert Lutz took closest-to-pin at seventeen with a three-foot, one-inch shot. Dave Rudduck was the only player to find the green on the tough 13th (8'11"), and Chris Evans and James Dubrouillet had KPs on 4 and 8. Mark your calendar for next year — Meadow Park is a course worth coming back for.

 

Snohomish – 5/30

A three-way tie at the top of Flight 1 highlighted a competitive day at Snohomish Golf Club. Deven Khanna fired a 77 to edge the leaderboard on gross, while Jeff Smarr and Parker Fox matched his net score of 71 (-1 net) to share the top net spots.  In Flight 2, John Sell took first with a +1 net by a stroke over Jeff McGee.

 

The back nine proved decisive, with multiple gross birdie runs fueling the scorecards. Brandon Mobley grabbed three skins, Smarr and Khana won two, while Donnelly, Fox, and Brunhaver each won one. Walter Oelwein nearly found the cup at 16, landing just 1'6" from the pin on the par 3 13th. Smarr, Mark Carpenter and Sid Mandyam had the other three KPs.

Match Play

 

Match play is off to a great start. First round of President’s Cup is running about a week behind. Two more will be completed this afternoon and the last one should be done in the next week or so.  We kicked off with a match that went to 21 holes! Note to match players - in Live Tourney, you can keep scoring extra holes if you are on the same course. Otherwise score on a paper scorecard.  

 

Four Ball has only two matches remaining in round one, both delayed by people being out of town. They should catch up next week as well. Four Ball Match Play | Live Tourney. 

 

Contratulations to all our Round 1 winners and good luck in Round 2! Let's get those matches scheduled so we can keep on track.

 

Evergreen Golf Club – Who is running the show?

 

With many new members this year, as well as for our returning members, we thought we’d take a minute to introduce ourselves and our roles. Most of the emails you get come from the anonymous EvergreenGC@outlook.com email address, and we ask you to send in scorecard photos, tournament cancellations, and in most cases, generally any other club communications to this email rather than to individual managers.  This is because we have a team of people working to run different tournaments, and we don’t want anything to drop through the cracks.   

 

For Thursdays, Tim, Tom and Deven will be the main people running the series all summer long, but they rotate the tournament manager role from week-to-week depending on vacation schedules and general workload. Across the ~24 Thursday tournaments, each one typically will run around 8 tournaments.   Same for weekends – while Lew is running most of them, there are times he’s out of town and someone else may be running one. The point is, please keep using the EvergeenGC email alias rather than emailing or texting individuals. But here’s the team behind it:

If you have any questions or feedback on Evergreen Golf Club, please let us know.  We are always looking for ways to improve.

 

How does the Skins game work?

 

A new player recently asked about the Optional Skins competition. While there are many formats for Skins games, for EGC tournaments it’s a simple “lowest single score on each hole wins a skin.” We play both a Gross and Net skins game, meaning the single lowest gross score and single lowest net score on each hole. If there is a tie on a hole, for example if two or more people birdie the same hole, there is no skin – there has to be a single person with the low score. At the end of the Skins pot (half for gross, half for net) is divided evenly between the holes where someone won a skin, typically 3-5 holes per 9 played.  To join the Skins game, you sign up when you register (on the second registration screen). Just remember, you can have a “good” hole anytime in any round and win a skin, either a lucky putt or chip, or everything comes together and you have a good round.  Join the Skins next time you sign up and watch for your name to appear in the results!

Weekend Results

 

Lake Spanaway – 5/2

Sixteen players turned out at Lake Spanaway in early May. Adam Hill and John Sell tied the single flight for low Net with 69, while Dave Rudduck was right behind them at 70.  Lew Brunhaver and John Sell both carded a Gross 84 overall.  Parker Fox, Cody Dickens and Lew took home Gross Skins, while Parker, Lew, Adam, Dave, Rudduck, and Chris Carpenter took home Net Skins. John (18’), Adam (17’ 2”), Lew (4’ 6”) and Parker (15’ 7”) had the four KPs.

 

Walter Hall – 5/9

We had a beautiful sunny day with a high haze and comfortable temperatures in the upper sixties at Walter Hall Golf Course in Everett. The course was generally dry and played well, although the greens were slow, especially on the back 9. Daniel Woodrow fired the low Gross at +4 (76), cruising past a tie of Joe Haubner and Robert Lutz who both finished at +9 (81). 

 

For the Net Tournament results (and prizes), in Flight 1, Michelle Mobley absolutely dominated all day, the only player to finish at even par (72 net from an 84 gross). Her steady approach paid huge dividends and secured first place net honors. Daniel Woodrow took second place net at +3 (75), and Joe Haubner took third, but Mobley's wire-to-wire excellence couldn't be touched.

 

In Flight 2 it was a close finish. Dave Rudduck and David Clemons tied for first at +3, while Geoffrey Rocker, Vic Lawson and Bryan Johnson had a three way tie for Third, one back at +4.

 

No one won any Gross Skins at Walter Hall, showing how evenly the field was playing. For Net Skins, we had three people win two skins each - Adam Hill posted two skin wins on holes 4 and 13 with eagle and birdie respectively, while Mark Carpenter won two on 9 and 10, and Chris Carpenter snagged two of his own on holes 12 and 16. Bryan Johnston won the par-4 sixth, and John Gray picked up hole seven.

 

In closest-to-pin action, Vic Lawson was on the 200+ yard Hole 3 at just 16-feet-5, while Brent Taylor hit the eighth at 24 feet. Chris Neuman parked one at 17-feet-1 on 14, and Brandon Mobley found the green on 17 at 17-feet-9.

 

Congratulations to our winners!

 

Thursday League

We have held our first four Thursday Leage outings and have had a great turnout, fielding 28-30 players most weeks. We’ve had a few people on the waiting list every week but we’ve been able to get everyone out on the course, so even if an event is full, sign up for the waiting list if you want to play. We had great weather the first three weeks; this past week was a bit chilly but the rain held off and we all got home dry.  Deven Khana and Chris Carpenter are #1 and #2 atop the Points Leaderboard (Under Standings on the EGC Thursday League 2026 Portal, sort by Points).

KP Measurements when there is no Tape Measure

 

If there is no Tape Measure on a KP hole, just use the iPhone “Measure” app. If you have an iPhone, practice with it now. If you have a Samsung phone, there is a similar Measure app. If you have another Android phone, there are some free ad-supported apps in the Appstore but we don’t recommend them – let one of your buddies with an iPhone take the measurement. 

  1. Open the Measure app: Find the app icon on your home screen or in your app library and tap to open it. It may be in the Utilities folder, or search for Measure.
  2. Move your phone around: Calibrate the app so it gets a feel for the ground.
  3. Position the dot: Point the white dot in the center of the screen at the starting point of your desired measurement (the hole). You should be 6-8 feet away.
  4. Set the starting point (the hole): Tap the “+” button to set the starting point of your measurement.
  5. Move to the endpoint (the ball): Slowly move your iPhone to the ending point of the object or space you want to measure, pointing at the ground at a straight line between the hole and the ball.
  6. Take a measurement: The measurement will be displayed on the screen. Type the number into the KP entry on Live Tourney Scorecard.

 

Thursday Tee Time Chart

What are the Thursday Tee Times? It seems like it’s always a mystery what the tee times are going to be on Thursday. How do you guys decide what times they are going to be? Should I be requesting a “late tee time” or just “After 5 pm”?  We’ve got answers to your questions! Our Thursday League doesn’t start at a fixed start time like 4:00 pm every Thursday. We try to book Thursday Tee times as late as possible based on Sunset times. Sunset times come from Date and Time website: Sunrise and sunset times in Redmond. We back up three hours from Sunset for the last tee time, estimate how many people we think will sign up for a given week, and then figure out our first tee time, and work with Willows Run Pro Shop to try to block these times out a few weeks in advance. 

 

Why do we allow 3 hours when 9 holes should only take 2:15? A couple of reasons. First, the sun drops down behind the hill about 30 minutes before sunset, and after too many years of people finishing in “flat light” or worse, dark, we wanted to allow a buffer. Second, we wanted to allow for slow play in the public groups ahead of our first tee time (and sometimes our own groups) that frequently holds us up, so again the last groups are not pushed back into the dark. And finally, it sometimes gives us a bit of buffer to add one or two extra tee times if we have an unexpectedly large signup/waitlist, to get everyone out.

Here is a chart of the current planned tee times (subject to change) for 2026. This chart is also on the Thursday League Portal under Tee Times. Go to https://egc.golfgenius.com (save that site), click on Thursday League, then click on Tee Times.

Are you getting too much mail from Evergreen Golf Club?

We know you are getting a lot of mail from Evergreen Golf Club. We’ve had a lot of events this spring, especially with three weekend events in April and four in May, kicking off weekly Thursday League, kicking off Match Play, launching our new Live Tourney tournament software (and making sure everyone is getting the new emails), newsletters, and tournament results. Some of this will quiet down a little bit over the next few weeks. Match Play signup is now complete so only the folks in Match Play will keep getting those emails, and June only has two weekend events. We wanted to share a summary of what we are sending out so it hopefully doesn’t look quite so random.

 

  • Event Signup Emails – We are sending out two emails for each event – one when Registration Opens (typically 3-4 weeks before the event) and a reminder a few days before registration closes (“Last Call.”) Some people need 3-4 weeks advance notice to get their calendar blocked. Others like to wait until closer to see if they are still free or to check their weather apps. We’ve also had a couple of cases where we have accidentally sent out a couple of extra emails as we are getting used to our new system, so we apologize for those.
  • Event Results – New this year, we are sending out some of the Event Results to the entire club rather than just the participants. We are trying this out with the idea that you might not have been able to play in a particular event but you still might be interested in how your friends (or competitors) did. We want to share the excitement and celebrate the victories of our club members with everyone. If you’re in the club, you’re probably at least somewhat interested in the results of our tournaments.
  • Newsletters & New Season/Software Launch – We have had a lot to talk about with our new software, with the upcoming season, and expanding on some of the tournament results. We want to make our newsletters a more regular communication this year, along with tips and suggestions on the Live Scoring software and other club news.
  • Event Tee Times – If you sign up for an event you will get the tee time sheet. Sometimes we have to revise this due to last-minute cancellations and changes.

 

Our goal is to help drive interest and more signups in club events – we want to see you and your friends out on the golf course this season! 

 

Thank you for reading this far!

April 2026 - Golf News and Updates

 

 

Hi Evergreen Golfers!

 

The Evergreen Golf Club (EGC) Golf Season has kicked off with our first two weekend events in the books!  Our Thursday League kicking off this week, and we have a nearly full field for Riverbend this coming Saturday.  We hope to see all of you out on the course soon!  If you haven’t signed up already, go to http://egc.golfgenius.com and follow the signup instructions.   Questions?  Email EvergreenGC@outlook.com

 

(If you are not getting our event signup mails, please check the info on how to find/prevent junk mail filters on our website, or send us an email and we can try to troubleshoot).

 

Event Results  

  • Spring Kickoff (4/4) – We held our Spring Kickoff at Legion Memorial a couple of weeks ago.   Six teams (24 players) competed in a 2-best-ball format.  Steve Morin, Lew Brunhaver, Gabe Lichten, and David Clemons ran away with first place with -5 under, while the team of Peterson+Crowley+Evans+Osborn came in second at -2.   It was a close finish for the rest of the teams.  Full Results, including Gross and Net Skins and KP are in the attached PDF.

 

  • Home Course (4/18) – Our second 18-hole series event was straight stroke play at the Home Course in Lacey.  Twenty-Six players competed in two flights.  Jeffrey Krauss and Michelle Mobley tied in Flight 1 at +1 net. Michelle is our first female member, and she won on her first outing!  Adam Hill absolutely dominated Flight 2 from a net perspective, posting an impressive 63 (nine under par) to take the net crown by four shots. Hill's round featured multiple eagle efforts, including picking up one gross and two net skins. Anthony Zamarripa finished second in net at 67 (five under), followed by Tom Osborn at 69 (three under).

The skins competition saw plenty of action across the course. Gross skins went to Tim Donnelly (hole 1), Woodrow (hole 2), Steve Morin (hole 3), Chris Evans (hole 6), Hill (hole 7), and Jeffrey Krauss (hole 8). On the net side, the winners were more spread out, with one an albatross and 7 net eagles and one lone birdie.

Closest to the pin honors went to Krauss at 13'4" on the par-3 fourth, Mark Carpenter at 6'1" on the sixth, Woodrow at 20'10" on the twelfth, and Josh Peterson at 12'8" on fourteen.  Full results in attached PDF.

 

Note: We are still working on finalizing payouts (figuring out how the software works and how to work around a few things) so I’ve only included the results without payouts here.  We will send final results to the tournament participants as soon as we get it worked out.

 

Remember, you can’t win (or just enjoy the company and the golf) if you don’t come out and play!

Sign up here: Hole-In-One Pool #2

 

Tips on Signup Links (also Live Scoring/Leaderboard)

  • We send out signup links by email when registration opens for each link, plus a “Reminder/Last Chance” email a few days before registration closes.
  • Signup Online: You can also always find the signup links for open events by going to https://egc.golfgenius.com, clicking on Weekend Series or Thursday League, and then clicking on the individual Event Link in the Schedule tab.

 

Info on Event Links – there are two types…

  • The Event Link is the same link for Signup, for Pairings & Tee Times, and for Live Scoring and the Leaderboard on Tournament Day.  However there are two slight variations.
  • Personalized/Custom Link
    • Registration the Easy Way: The links that you get in email are custom/personalized for YOU – they will automatically fill in your information for registration.
    • Live Scoring the Easy Way:  Your “Tee Sheet/Pairings” email will contain your personalized Event Link (actually the same link as the signup link).  Save this mail for the tournament – this link will automatically unlock your scorecard without needing a separate scorecard code.
  • Generic Link
    • If you use the link from the schedule website (vs your personal email), it is a generic (non-personalized) link.  To register you will have to search your name (which is pretty easy). 
    • On tournament day you’ll need a “Scorecard Code” to unlock your scorecard for scoring.  It will be in the email you receive for pairings and tournament info.   For weekend events, if there is a preprinted EGC Scorecard, the Scorecard Code will be on your scorecard. There is also a QR code that will take you straight to the site.

 

Did I Already Register for an Event? Who else is Registered?

NEW for 2026: You can confirm if you are signed up, and see who else is signed up, at the Event Link (from email or the web site).  At the bottom right, click on the green number beside “Registered.”

 

Skins Signup Info for 2026

New for 2026: You can now sign up for Skins when you register for an event! When you register, there is an option to “Add 1” to add the Skins fee to your registration.  The good news is that you don’t have to watch out for the separate Skins email and sign up for it separately.  On the other hand, this is the ONLY way to sign up for skins, so don’t forget.  Unfortunately, we don’t have an easy way to add you to skins after registration as we don’t have any way to collect payment.

 

How to Cancel an event registration

There is no way to Cancel online.  Please send an email to EvergreenGC@outlook.com to cancel a registration.  The new Live Tourney software doesn’t require login, passwords, etc. but that also means there’s currently no secure way to allow someone to sign in to cancel an existing paid registration.  Plus, we need to manually manage the refund if there is one.  If you do need to cancel, please let us know ASAP – the sooner we know, the better. If it’s before the registration deadline, we can offer a full refund (minus credit card fees).  If it’s after the deadline, the refund will depend on whether we can fill your slot or whether the course will let us cut back on the attendee list without charging for the unused tee times.

 

Default Tees – Playing Up

We have several members who are more finding it more comfortable and fun “Playing Up” on shorter tees.  This can make the game more enjoyable if your drive isn’t what it used to be and you’re not trying to hit a 5-wood into every green.   You should be hitting an iron (typ. 5-7 iron) into at least some of the Par 4 greens for your second shot if you hit a typical drive.  Handicap strokes are automatically adjusted for the different tees.  If you’d like to do this, let us know via “Special Requests” when you register, or by email at EvergreenGC@outlook.com.  For Thursdays, we will update the default tees for you so it should be automatic each week.  For weekend series, it will be an individual setting each weekend, so the Tournament Director will probably need a reminder each week in the Special Requests when you register.

 

Score Posting by EGC

A quick reminder – EGC will automatically POST your scores for all Stroke Play events – Weekend Series and Thursday League.  For Match Play (more info coming soon) you’ll need to post your own score as soon as the match is completed.  If you accidentally post your own score, or have already done so for an event this year, contact us via email and we can delete one of the duplicate scores.

 

EGC Web Site/Portal

Please remember to bookmark/save our EGC Website Portal. You can use it to register for events, and there is a lot of other good club information on the various tabs, including our local rules, how to make sure emails are not getting blocked by Spam, etc.   https://egc.golfgenius.com

 

Membership Drive

If you know anyone (male or female) who you think would like to play golf with EGC, please send them the link to our web site portal.  All the information they need is there, or they can contact us directly via email.  We’d love to get a few more new active members this year.

 

Full Weekend Series Schedule

We’ve published the full Weekend Series schedule to the website – https://egc.golfgenius.com.  Be sure to put these on your calendar.  The current list is also included below.

 

If you want to import the full schedule of Weekend Series dates directly into your calendar - Click here: EGC Golf 2026 Calendar.ics – Click IMPORT to import into your main calendar.  If you click Open it will create a secondary calendar with just the golf events.  You can also do both.  (The current .ics only includes events through August).

 

Notes on Weekend Series Registration:

  1. Registration will typically open 3-4 weeks prior to the event.
  2. Registration Deadline is officially Friday night 1 week (8 days) prior to the event to meet course commitment timelines.  In some cases, we may be able to extend the Friday night deadline a few days for some events, but don’t count on it.
  3. Some events are still tentative – marked TBD

March 2026 - Spring Kickoff Newsletter

 

Greetings Evergreen Golf Club players!

 

The 2026 season is just a few weeks away. Our opening "Spring Kickoff" tournament is on Saturday, April 4th, at Legion Memorial in Everett. As in past years, this is a team event, a 4 player, 2 best ball net format. It's a great way to kick off the year with a less stressful round and shake the rust off of your game. It's also a great way to introduce your friends and neighbors to Evergreen Golf Club, so if you have friends, please invite them to join us as well.

 

Signups will open on March 14th for the Spring Kickoff. Watch your email for the signup notice.

 

Following the kickoff, rounds at The Home Course (April 18th) and Riverbend (April 25th) are lined up. Thursday league play will start up later in April, with Match Play kicking off in May, so get your game ready.

 

The full calendar will be out soon!

 

While you are gearing up, remember to renew your full Evergreen Club Membership (including GHIN) or basic membership if you have GHIN elsewhere. Links to do so are on our website (https://egc.golfgenius.com).

 

Plus, it is now officially posting season, so if you've played any rounds since March 1, be sure to record them. When posting scores be sure to follow maximum net double bogey on any given hole guidelines. If you don't know how that works, enter your hole-by-hole scores on your GHIN app and the computer will handle it for you.

 

We're looking forward to a great 2026. Hope to see you on the course soon!

 

 

 

 

 

March 10, 2026 - Welcome to Live Tourney - Live Tourney Launch

 

Hi John,

 

Welcome to the first email from our new system, LiveTourney. Hopefully you are getting this in your regular mailbox, but if you find it in your junk mail folder, PLEASE do the following:

  1. Mark (or "report") this mail as "Not Junk" and add the sender to your safe sender list if asked.
  2. Important: Add the following to your contact list as Evergreen Golf Club (two separate contacts)
  3. EvergreenGC@outlook.com
  4. noreply@livetourney.com

This will help most email systems not mark it as junk mail.

 

We are going to follow this up with a second mail from our old Golf Genius mailing list, to let everyone know to make sure they got this, or that they check their junk mail folder. Sorry for any duplicate emails, but we need to make sure everything is working before we start sending out tournament signup, tee sheet, results and newsletter emails using our new system.

 

Newsletter

A full newsletter should be coming out within the next week or so with more club information. I'm just the web guy.

March 7 - NEW INFO for 2026 - Live Tourney Announcement

 

Hi Golfers,

 

We wanted to reach out to everyone with some important NEW information on changes for EGC for 2026.

 

We will be using new software this year.  We will be using LiveTourney for our Tournament Scheduling and Newsletters for 2026.  While there are a few new tricks to learn, so far it is FASTER and for the most part EASIER to use than Golf Genius. 

  • Everything is in a Web Browser - on your computer or your phone.  No separate app to download.  This means that the links you receive in Email will be important for your Tee Times and Scorecards. 
  • You need to Take ACTION TODAY to make sure LiveTourney (and our other emails) are not blocked by email Spam Filters.  See below for instructions.

 

Why are we using LiveTourney in 2026 instead of Golf Genius?

  1. Faster Interface - it's faster for scoring, leaderboards and general use.
  2. Easier - once we all get used to it we think it's going to be easier to use. 
  3. Cheaper - OK, this is more for running the club, but it's 33% cheaper for the club than Golf Genius Premium.
  4. The developer is based in Redmond and has been super-helpful in making changes and adding features to support EGC. It's a small business and wants to work with us. 

 

If we are switching to LiveTourney, why are you still sending this from Golf Genius, and why is the main web portal still on Golf Genius?

  • We still get Golf Genius Basic free through Washington Golf/USGA.  It still offers a basic web portal and email, and is still sync'd with GHIN. 
  • To start out we thought it would be easier if we maintained the same web portal address everyone knows.
  • We're using the Golf Genius emails to kick off a few transition emails because most of you already get them (e.g. no Spam or Junk Mail filters).  We are concerned that some initial mail from LiveTourney may end up in Junk Mail folders or blocked, and some people may not see it. 

 

What do I need to do TODAY?

  1. See below for Avoiding Spam Filters.  We will send our first announcement from LiveTourney email in 2-3 days. 
  2. If you have not yet Activated your Membership/GHIN for Evergreen Golf Club for 2026, go to https://egc.golfgenius.com.  Scroll down on the home page for instructions. There are two options:  Regular Membership including GHIN, and discounted membership if you already have an active GHIN at another club. 

 

 

Avoiding Spam Filters - How to get Round Signup and other emails from Evergreen Golf Club

 

EGC uses three different email systems to contact members:  

 

  1. Email directly from EvergreenGC@outlook.com.  This is how you contact the tournament managers and the board.  We occasionally may reply from this email or send a broad email blast using this account.
  2. Live Tourney - New for 2026 - Our primary tournament signup and management system for 2026.  Email for event registration will come from noreply@livetourney.com.  There is a possibility that new emails from Evergreen Golf Club on LiveTourney will go to your Junk Mail folder. 
  3. Golf Genius - Golf Genius, provided by USGA, provides our primary web portal and was used as our primary tournament software from 2022 to 2025.  We will still use it for occasional emails to the entire club and may continue to use for special purposes.  Email comes from noreply@golfgenius.com. 

 

How to prevent Evergreen Golf Club emails from being blocked by Junk Mail filters:

  • Please do the following to prevent emails from going to your junk mail folder.
    1. (Most Important!) Add each of these three email addresses to your contact list, especially the new LiveTourney email.  Please create a separate contact for each.  Most email systems will treat email from anyone in your contact list as not-spam. 
      1. EvergreenGC@outlook.com
      2. noreply@livetourney.com
      3. noreply@golfgenius.com
    2. (Optional but good to do) Open your Junk Mail filter and add each of these email addresses to your safe senders list. 
      • For GMail, under settings, Filters, you can create a "filter" with the email addresses above and the filter should be set to "Never send to Spam."
      • In Classic Outlook – In the Home bar, “Delete” group, select Block and then Junk Mail Options.  Click the Safe Senders tab and then Add button. 
      • In Outlook on the Web – click the Gear at the top right for Settings, then Mail / Junk Mail and click “Add Safe Sender.”
    3. (Advanced) Check your junk mail block list from to make sure golfgenius.com and livetourney.com are not on your block list. 
    4. (Extra advanced) Send a mail with "Please Ignore - test mail" in the title to each of the above addresses.  You can click on the above email links to create the email with the title pre-filled.  The act of sending an email to the address from your account helps mark it as valid. 

 

  • Please watch your junk mail folder for newsletters and tournament signup emails to make sure they are not getting blocked. 

 

Thank you very much!
