More golf, less work!

The First Hill Golf Club meets for monthly tournaments at various Seattle area golf courses between March and October. 

We have a long and distinguished history and have remained true to our roots - play golf and have a good time!

The Burning Clubs of Chinatown

If you happened to be driving thru Chinatown in the late 1960's, you actually might have been a witness to this infamous FHGC spectacle. 

New season, new website!

Welcome to FHGC 2010!  It's been ten years since the debut of the original FHGC website and lots of things have changed since we first starting using email and the internet to ease some of the burden of running the club.  While "techie cool" to have our club on the internet, it was also kind of boring because the communication only went one way.  Over the winter, the crazy guys of the 2010 Board decided it was time to be like the Mariners and change it up.  So we are pleased to introduce our new FHGC online community!

Physically Unable To Perform

If you find that you cannot play golf in one or more FHGC monthly tournaments for a variety of reasons, i.e. surgeries, injuries, illnesses ("Physically Unable to Perform"), you have several options:

To Post or Not To Post

Direct quote from the WSGA regarding posting your golf scores during the Inactive Posting Season.

"It is the policy of the WSGA that scores from rounds played in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington are only acceptable for handicapping purposes when played between March 1st and November 15th(Active Season).  Rounds played between November 16th and the last day of February each year(Inactive Season) in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington are Never Acceptable for handicapping purposes.

Don't know about their golf, but the pancakes were good...

Saw several FHGC members keeping up the ties with the First Hill Lions Club this morning.  Ed Yakushijin, Thom Ikeda and Victor Mizumori were demonstrating some serious kitchen skills during  the annual pancake breakfast that will benefit Seattle Keiro, Kawabe House and Kin On this year.

New Season, Same Tournament Chairman

Everyone who is a member of the FHGC for 2010 will be presented with a hand-out at the first tournament they participate in.  Over the years, we have been kind of lax on some of the golf rules.  Mainly, to accommodate the "Old Timers" in the club.  i.e. we always played Winter Rules.
