Turner aces hole No. 2 at Men’s Golf Tournament

At the Leisure World Men’s Golf Club Tournament played on Aug.11, two groups of three flights of variously skilled golfers vied for best net scores (gross score minus handicap), plus four circle holes (shots within a 5-foot circle rewarded) and two closestto- the-pin challenges. In a show of good shootin’, Bob Turner had a hole-in-one on the 60-yard, par-3 second hole.

The Turtle Lake Golf Course is a well-manicured, 1,658-yard, 18-hole, par-54 course. A total of 47 golfers teed off and played 18 holes through the early morning and into the afternoon. The weather was warm, sunny and very humid. Both the temps and humidity rose quickly as the morning progressed. There was little wind until the latter part of the morning, and by then, it was appreciated.

The fairways and greens remain in very good shape, but the tee boxes continue to be in poor condition. With little improvement in the tees, play suffered and only 20 of the 47 rounds were net at or under par, versus 23 last tournament.

A Flight encompasses golfers with handicaps of 0-7; B Flight, 8-11; and C Flight, 12-18.

A Flight Winners: First place: tie between Seung Lee and Gene Archambault,anexcellent5under 49; second: Dave LaCascia, a very nice 5 under 50; third: tie between John Kolthoff, Young Lee, Bob Turner and Bob Barnum, 2 under 52; fourth: Bill Lyons, 1 under 53; fifth: tie between Alan Sewell, Bill McKusky, Steve Walker and Glenn Barry, even par 54; sixth: Steve Ro, 1 over 55.

B Flight Winners: First place:, Andrew Kim, a terrific 6 under 48; second: Trai Nguyen, a good 3 under 51; third: Won Song, 2 under 52; fourth: Jun Um, 1 under 53; fifth: Hyun Jun Lee, 1 over 55; sixth: Youn Lee, 3 over 57.

C Flight Winners: First place: Byron Schweitzer, a sensational 9 under 46; second: Bill Zurn, a well-played 7 under 47; third: James Farr, a sweet 4 under 50; fourth: Jong Lee, 1 under 53; fifth: Suk Im, 1 over 55; sixth: tie between Dennis Jensen and Mike Carlson, 3 over 57.

Closest to the pin on the 85-yard, par-3 eighth hole was Steve Ro and on the par-3 17th hole was Ron Jackson.
