Guy’s and Gal’s Tournament
The October Guys and Gals Tournament was played on Oct. 19. 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, 18hole, par 54 course that tests all who play.
A total of 29 teams (58 players) teed off and played 18 holes. Tees are starting to resemble what the players encountered prior to the renovation several years ago (like craters of the moon, especially No. 3 tee which is also getting muddy again).
This week the green fringes look like they have been intentionally scalped or else they are deteriorating rapidly.
There were eight circle holes winners and 45 birdies. Closest to the pin on the 8th hole was a tie between Pat Paternoster/ Dong Kim and Patty Littrell. On the 17th hole Alan Sewell and Grace Choi. The lowest gross score was Dong Kim/Devora Kim at 2 under 52. The lowest net score was Pat Paternoster/ Mary Ann Moore at 43 (11 under). Of 29 teams, 26 had net scores at or under par.
Winners: “A” flight (handicaps of 0-9)— First place: Bob Barnum and Kyung Ju, a terrific 7 under 47 second; tie between Won Song and Jane Song: Bob Turner and Janice Turner: Bill Lyons and Pam Krug: a well-played 6 under 48; third: Dong Kim and Devora Kim, a very nice 5 under 49; fourth: Bruce Bowles and Linda Herman, a very nice 4 under 50.
“B” flight (handicaps of 10-12)— First place: Pat Paternoster and Mary Ann Moore, a spectacular 11 under 43; second: Hyon Shin and Sang An, a well-played 10 under 44; third: Walt Bier and Margie Thompson, a really good 9 under 45; fourth: Dale Williamson and Mary Grieg, a hard-earned 7 under 47; fifth: Alan Sewell and Pattie Smith, a sweet 6 under 48.
“C” flight (handicaps of 1318)— First place: John Sorenson and Patty Littrell, a sensational 10 under 44; second: tie between James Choi and Grace Choi: Paul Shellenberger and Dale Quinn, a fine 9 under 45; third: tie between Steve Kang and Connie Kang: Byron Schweitzer and Bert Thompson, a sweet 3 under 51.
