Guys & Gals Tournament
TheGuys& GalsTournament was played on Feb. 16 at LW’s Turtle Lake Golf Course, where turtles have finally appeared from their hibernation. Three flights of one-man-and-onewoman teams participated for best net scores, four circle holes (within a 5-foot radius) and two closest-to-the-pin challenges on par-3 holes.
At the 7:30 a.m. tee time, the weather was a cool 47 degrees and the course damp from the previous night’s thunderstorms. The sun was out early, and although it never got warm, the players enjoyed basking in the sunlight, though the winds came up mid-morning. With the good course conditions, a remarkable 30 of the 36 teams posted a net score at or under par; there were also 37 birdies and nine circle holes.
All scores are net (gross minus handicap). A Flight encompasses golfers with handicaps of 0-10, B Flight is handicaps of 11-13, and C Flight is 14-18.
A Flight: First place: Jae H. and Sun Lee, a well-played 9 under 45; second: Bob Barnum and Kyung Ju, a nice 8 under 46; third: Bob Turner and Janice Turner, a super 7 under 47; fourth: tie between Mike Mayfield and Sally Park and Kyoo Choi and Bong Choi, a good 6 under 48; fifth: tie between John Kolthoff and Anne Walsh, James Farr and Sandy Derouin, Paul Alloway and Ann Tran, Young Lee and Hae Lee, and Joon Sup Yoon and Young Yoon, a terrific 5 under 49; sixth: Dong Kim and Devora Kim, a fine 4 under 50.
B Flight: First place: Bill McKusky and Joyce Basch, a nice 8 under 46; second: tie between Alan Sewell and Pattie Smith and Tom Owens and Helen Yoon, a hard-earned 6 under 48; third: tie between Dave LaCascia and Liz Meripol and Hyon Shin and Sang An, a sweet 5 under 49; fourth: Ryan Hong and Kay Hong, a decent 4 under 50.
C Flight: First place: Dennis Jensen and Marilyn Hewitt, a tournament best 11 under 43; second: Ken Notorleva and Nina Derosa, an excellent 7 under 47; third: Broadbent and Joann Lim, a superb 6 under 48; fourth: tie between Brian Tivnan and Patty Littrell and Rolando Ramirez and Laura Garcia, a fine 2 under 52. Closest to the pin on the seventh hole was Bill McKusky and Hae Lee, while on the 16th hole, it was Young Lee and Sun Lee.
