Men’s Golf Club
At the LW Men’s Golf Club Tournament on Feb. 9, 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 are rewarded) and two closest-tothe- pinchallengesonpar-3holes.
A total of 54 golfers teed off as the cool morning weather warmed as the sun got higher in the sky. The Turtle Lake Golf Course is in good condition, but only 22 of the golfers were net at or under par. There were, however, 5 circle holes and a season high of 54 birdies.
All scores are net. A Flight encompasses golfers with handicaps of 0-7, with B Flight at 8-11 and C Flight at 12-18.
A Flight: First place: Young Lee, a nicely played 7 under 47; second: tie between Paul Alloway, Ron Steele, Steve Walker and Dong Kim, a very good 4 under 50; third: tie between Jae H. Lee and Mike Mayfield, a nice 2 under 52; fourth: tie between Bob Turner, Glenn Barry and Steve Ro, at even par 54; fifth: tie between Alan Sewell, John Kolthoff, Bill Long and Bob Barnum, 1 over 55.
B Flight: First place: Bill McKusky, a tournament best 8 under 46; second: tie between James Farr and Steven Kang, an excellent 4 under 50; third: Yoon Sup Yoon, an excellent 3 under 51; fourth: Youn Lee, a super 2 under 52; fifth: tie between new memberDonNewhallandHyon Shin, 1 under 53.
C Flight: First place: Ryan Hong, an excellent 3 under 51; second: tie between Ben Benjamins and Byron Schweitzer, a good 1 under 53; third: Paul Shellenberger, at even par 54; fourth: Rolando Ramirez, 1 over 55; fifth: tie between Joe Didonato, Kap Son and Sam Williamson, 2 over 56. Closest to the pin on the seventh hole was Ron Steele, and on the 16th hole, it was tournament director Alan Sewell. The next Men’s Tournament will be on Feb. 23. Golfers are asked to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to their scheduled tee time and be ready to play.
