Guys and Gals Golf

The Guys and Gals Tournament was played on July 20. Teams of various skilled golfers with one man and one woman vied for best net scores (gross score minus handicap), plus two circle holes (shots within a 5-foot radius are rewarded), and two closest to the pin challenges. The Turtle Lake Golf Course is a 1,658-yard, 18 hole, par 54 course that tests all who play.

Scores and winners will not be available until later in July. Results will be published when available. For this and the next tournaments only general results will be noted in the newspaper.

A total of 27 teams (54 players) teed off and played 18 holes. The day started off cool and sunny with little wind until midmorning. The wind then stiffened as it continued to warm up. The greens still have numerous weed patches, and the lack of dirt-based divot-fix repair material is slowly turning the once well-kept tees into sand traps.

There were just two circle holes winners, Jae Lee and Bill Lyons, and only 37 birdies. Closest to the pin on the eigth hole was Won Song and Sun Lee, and on hole No. 17 was Jae Lee and Linda Herman. The lowest gross score was carded by Won Song and Jane Song at even par-54. The lowest net score was by Bill Lyons and Pam Krug at 10 under 44.

All golfers are responsible for their own tee box divots and ball marks on the greens. Golfers are asked to repair their own marks, plus one more.

The next Guys and Gals Tournament will be on Aug. 17 and on the fifth Wednesday, Aug. 31. The next Men’s Tournaments will be held on Aug. 10 and 24, plus every second and fourth Wednesday of the following months.
