Four Holes-in-One at Guys & Gals Tournament
Holes-In-One were recorded by Dong Kim, Young Yoon, Sue Elliot and Alison Kim at the Leisure World Guys & Gals Tournament on the Turtle Lake Golf Course on June 16. Three flights of one-man-and-one-woman teams participated for best net scores, four circle holes (within a 5-foot circle) and two closestto- the-pin challenges.
A total of 32 teams of golfers competed through the early morning and into the afternoon. The weather was sunny and warm at the initial 7:40 a.m. tee time, but as they say, “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute—it will change.” The changes did not seem to affect play, as only four of the 32 rounds were net above par—not to mention the four holes-in-one recorded.
Play was without masks or other social distancing requirements imposed. Thanks to the GRF Board of Directors for reopening the course to full-time, mask-free, individual and tournament play. And special thanks to the Starters, who are a big help in keeping the tournament on time and running smoothly.
A Flight encompasses golfers with handicaps of 0-10; B Flight, 11-13; and C Flight, 14-18. All scores are net (gross score minus handicap).
A Flight Winners: First place: John Kolthoff and Anne Walshe, a terrific 9 under 45; second: Paul Alloway and Ann Tran, a nice 8 under 46; third: Young Lee and Hae Lee, 6 under 48; fourth: tie between Glen Barry and Karen Mendon, Gene Archambault and Stella Yoon, and Dong Kim and Devora Kim, 5 under 49.
B Flight Winners: First place: Steve Walker and Yvonne Yim, a remarkable 11 under 43; second: tie between Alan Sewell and Patti Smith, Dave LaCascia and Liz Meripol, and Won Lee and Mimi Lee, a super 10 under 44; third: Joon Sup Yoon and Young Yoon, a grand 8 under 46; fourth: Jae H. Lee and Sun Lee, a wonderful 7 under 47.
C Flight Winners: First place: tie between Ron Jackson and Dale Quinn, Joe DiDonatao and Sandra deDubovay, and Ken Notorleva and Alison Kim, a lovely 9 under 45; second: Ryan Hong and Kay Hong, an excellent 6 under 48; third: Rolando Ramirez and Laura Garcia, a fine 5 under 49; fourth: Roger Elliot and Sue Elliot, 4 under 50.
Closest to the pin on the par-3 eighth hole: Glen Barry and Jan Song. Sue Elliot’s and Alison Kim’s holes-in-one were both on the par-3 17th hole, which also won them closest to the pin for women; Byron Schweitzer was closest for the men. There were also eight circle hole winners.
