Men’s Golf Club

On May 26, three flights of variously skilled golfers vied for best net scores, four circle holes (within a 5-foot circle) and two closest-to-the-pin challenges in the Leisure World Men’s Golf Club Tournament. There were no holes-in-one this week, however, in the previous tournament, played May 12, Bill Long had a rare hole-in-one, which was not included in the accompanying article in LW Weekly.

A total of 54 golfers competed through the early morning and into the afternoon. The weather was initially overcast and windy, and though the wind never left, the sun came out warmly mid-round. The early morning front nine rounds were met with “sticky” greens and wet fairways. By the time the back nine started, the greens had become much quicker and the wind began to challenge accurate drives. The tee boxes continue to try to improve, and the greens have still not recovered from their aeration several weeks back. These conditions certainly led to only 27 of 48 rounds being 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: Dong Kim, 6 under 48; second: Jae Kim, 5 under 49; third: tie between John Kolthoff and Ron Steele, 3 under 51; fourth: tie between Bob Barnum and Glenn Barry, 2 under 52; fifth: Bill Lyons, even par 54.

B Flight winners: First place: Dale Williamson, 5 under 49; second: Ryan Hong, 4 under 50; third: tie between Paul Alloway, Young Lee and Gene Archambault, 3 under 51; fourth: tie between Andrew Kim and Jae H. Lee, 1 under 53; fifth: tie between Hyun Jun Lee, Jay Kim and Bruce Bowles, even par 54.

C Flight winners: First place: Ken Noyorleva, a very nice 8 under 46; second: tie between Youn Lee and Hyon Shin, 6 under 48; third: Bill Smith, 5 under 49; fourth: tie between Joon Sup Yoon and Kap Son, 4 under 50; fifth: tie between Mike Carlson and Marv Jones, 2 under 52; sixth: Ivan Painschab, 1 under 53; seventh: Jong Lee, even par 54.

Closest to the pin on the 85-yard, par-3 eighth hole was Won Song at 3 feet, 10 inches, and on the par-3 17th hole, it was Bob Turner at 7 feet, 9 inches. There were also six circle hole winners.
