Men’s Golf Club

The second Leisure World Men’s Golf Club Tournament AC (After COVID) was played on April 28. Three Flights vied for best net scores, including four circle holes (5-foot circle) and two closest-to-the-pin challenges. A total of 43 golfers competed over a period of 5-plus hours. The weather was initially cool, but it warmed up nicely with mostly sunshine. This brought some wind later in the morning. The tee boxes are still in poor condition, and the greens have not yet rebounded from their aeration some weeks back. This probably led to only 14 rounds under par. A flight encompasses golfers with handicaps of 0-6, B flight is handicaps of 7-12, and C flight is handicaps of 13-18. All scores below are net (gross score minus handicap).

A Flight Winners: First place: tie between Glenn Barry and Tom Owens, 2 under 52; second: John Haley, 1 under 53; third: Dong Kim, even par 54; fourth: tie between Alan Sewell, Jae H. Lee, Bill Long, Steve Walker and Bob Turner, 1 over 55; fifth: David Kwon, 2 over 56.

B Flight Winners: First place: tie between Gene Archambault and Jay Kim, 4 under 50; second: tie between Dave LaCascia, Chang Choi, Ron Steele and David Do, 1 under 53; third: Paul Alloway, even par 54; fourth: Won Song, 1 over 55; fifth: tie between Young Lee and Ryan Hong.

C Flight Winners: First place: tie between James Farr and Andrew Kim, 3 under 51; second: James Choi. 2 under 52; third: Bill Smith, even par 54; fourth: Hyon Shin, 1 over 55; fifth: Roger Bennett, 3 over 57.

Closest to the pin on the 85-yard, par-3 8th and 17th holes were Owens and Archambault, respectively. There were also six circle hole winners.

The next Men’s Tournaments will be on May 11 and 28. The first Guys and Gals Tournament of the year will be on May 19, then every third and fifth Wednesday (if there is one). Contact Tournament Director Alan Sewell for more details. Anyone signed up to play who cannot do so for whatever reason should contact Sewell as soon as possible.
