Mike Carlson aces No. 8

MEN'S GOLF CLUB

On March 23, two groups of three flights of variously skilled golfers vied for best net score, plus two circle holes and two closest-to-the-pin challenges for the Men’s Golf Club. LW’s Turtle Lake Golf Course is a 1,658-yard, 18-hole, par-54 course that has great fairways and greens. The club thanks Liz Meripol for making coffee and Bob Turner for picking up doughnuts for each tournament.

A total of 49 golfers teed off. The morning started out sunny and warmed up fast, and there was no wind. The course continues to be in relatively good condition.

Mike Carlson hit a holein- one, thus coming closest to the pin, on the 85-yard, par-3 eighth hole. While only 29 of the golfers were net at or under par, there were 12 circle holes and 54 birdies. Closest to the pin on the 17th hole was Bill Smith.

All scores are net (gross minus handicap). A Flight handicaps are 0-7, while B Flight are 8-11 and C Flight 12-18. The winners were: A Flight: First place: tie between Fujio Norihiro and Kyoo Choi, an outstanding 4 under 50; second: between Jae H. Lee, Mike Mayfield and Bill Lyons, a very good 2 under 52; third: tie between Young Lee and Bob Barnum, a hard-earned 1 under 53; fourth: John Kolthoff, 1 over 55.

B Flight: First place: tie between Kap Son and Ron Jackson, a super 6 under 48; second: tie between Richard Jun and Bob Johnston, an excellent 4 under 50; third: tie between Jong Lee and Jun Um, a sweet 3 under 51; fourth: Won Song, a well-played 2 under 52; fifth: tie between Hyon Shin and Bill Long, a nice 1 under 53; sixth: Ryan Hong, at even par 54.

C Flight: First place: Rolando Ramirez, a tournament-best 8 under 46; second: tie between Bill Smith, Sam Williamson and Gary Newhall, an outstanding 5 under 49; third: tie between Paul Shellenberger, Dennis Jensen and Jim Bassett, an excellent 4 under 50; fourth: Byron Schweitzer, a terrific 2 under 52; fifth: Suk Im, a terrific 1 under 53; sixth: tie between Steven Kang and Manny Miranda, even par 54.
