Men’s Golf Club

Despite a vandalized Turtle Lake Golf Course on Feb. 23, the LW Men’s Golf Club tournament proceeded, with 57 golfers vying for best net score, plus four circle holes (shots within a 5-foot circle are rewarded) and two closestto- the-pin challenges on par-3 holes. The morning’s weather at the 1,658-yard, par-54 course started out sunny and cool, but the strong, gusty winds may have affected play, with only 27 of the golfers scoring net at or under par. There were, however, four circle hole winners and a season high of 60 birdies. Closest to the pin on the seventh hole was John Haley, and on the 16th hole, it was Bill Lyons.

All scores below are net (gross score minus handicap). A Flight encompasses golfers with handicaps of 0-7, B Flight handicaps are 8-11, and C Flight is 12-18.

A Flight: First place: Bob Turner, an outstanding 6 under 48; second: Bill Lyons, a very good 4 under 50; third: tie between Tom Owens and Ron Steele, a nice 3 under 51; fourth: Glenn Barry, a nicely played 2 under 52; fifth: Steve Ro, 1 under 53; sixth: tie between Bob Turner and Gene Archambault, even par 54; seventh: tie between Dave LaCascia and Mike Mayfield, 1 over 55.

B Flight: First place: Ken Notorleva, a super 8 under 46; second: tie between Don Newhall, Bruce Bowles and Pat Paternoster, an excellent 3 under 51; third: Trai Nguyen, a sweet 3 under 51; fourth: Bill Zurn, a fine 2 under 52; fifth: tie between Dale Williamson and Young Lee, even par 54; sixth: tie between Hyon Shin and Bill Long, 1 over 55.
