We no longer publish monthly. . .

Please be aware that Don Porter's Thursday Golf Group is no longer publishing a monthly newsletter.


We invite to view our past newsletters dating back to July of 2001 and through February 2024, by selecting from the Newsletter Archives below this section!

We do plan to replace this portion of the website with a more permanent record of the groups auspicious beginnings and history starting in the mid 1980's when founder Don Porter and a small group of friends from the famed Hollywood Hackers began venturing out among the Southern California Golf venues on Thursdays following a playoff for the annual club championship.

We will announce via our email system once we have completed that process.

Also note that you may always drop by to view the previous month's Leaderboard!

Professionally, Mr. Jacobs earned a Masters Degree & studied for his PHD at USC Cinema Dept. in the late '50s.
