Thrift aces hole No. 13

GUYS & GALS TOURNAMENT

At the Guys & Gals Tournament on April 20, 32 teams of one man and one woman competed for best net score, eight circle holes (within a 5-foot radius) and two closestto- the-pin challenges on par-3 holes at LW’s Turtle Lake Golf Course. Terry Thrift carded a hole-in-one on the 115-yard, par-3 13th hole.

At the opening 7:30 a.m. tee time, the weather was relatively cool and partly overcast. A slight, intermittent wind came up in the middle of the rounds without much effect. The greens were punched late last week, and there were numerous brown spots, making putting unpredictable and difficult. Even so, 29 teams posted a net score at or under par. There were also 37 birdies and 13 circle hole winners.

All scores below are net (gross score minus handicap). A Flight handicaps are 0-9, B Flight are 10-12, and C Flight are 13-18.

A Flight: First place: Terry Thrift and Mary Ann Moore, a super 10 under 44; second: tie between Bob Barnum and Kyung Ju and Bill Lyons and Pam Krug, an outstanding 8 under 46; third: tie between Glenn Barry and Alison Kim, Won Song and Jane Song, and Walt Bier and Margie Thompson, an excellent 6 under 48; fourth: tie between Young Lee and Hae Lee, Bob Turner and Janice Turner, Dong Kim and Devora Kim, and Kyoo Choi and Bong Choi, a very good 5 under 49.

B Flight: First place: Ron Jackson and Dale Quinn, a very well-played 9 under 45; second: tie between Jae H. Lee and Sun Lee and Ken Notorleva and Nina DeRosa, a super 7 under 47; third: Alan Sewell and Pattie Smith, a terrific 6 under 48; fourth: Hyon Shin and Sang An, a sweet 5 under 49; fifth: Paul Alloway and Ann Tran, a hard-earned 4 under 50.

C Flight: First place: Pat Paternoster and Elizabeth Butterfield, a very good 8 under 46; second: tie between Lee Broadbent and Joann Lim and Dennis Jensen and Marilyn Hewitt, an excellent 4 under 50; third: tie between Dave LaCascia and Liz Meripol and Brian Tivnan and Patty Littrell, a fine 3 under 51.

Closest to the pin on the seventh hole was Kyoo Choi and Grace Choi, and on the 16th hole, it was Dave LaCascia and Yvonne Yim.
