Guys and Gals June Golf Tournament
A Guys and Gals Tournament was played on June 21. The competition was played under surprisingly sunny skies and warm temperatures. Most of the golfers were pleased that the recent golf-unfriendly weather disappeared for the first day of summer. The club gives special thanks to Alan Sewell and Scott Tuchfarber for handling the tournament related tasks, Dave LaCascia for making the coffee, Bob Turner for picking up the donuts, Steve Walker for cleanup and Jae Kim for announcing duties.
Teams of various skilled golfers of 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. A total of 30 teams (60 players) teed off and played 18 holes. Fairways and tee boxes are in good condition and the greens continue to improve.
Closest to the pin on the second hole was Young Kim and Dale Quinn. On the 11th hole it was Scott Tuchfarber and Young Sil Yoon. The lowest gross score was recorded by Dong and Devora Kim at 5 under 49. Fujio Norihiro and Keiko Sekino had the lowest net score at 11 under 43. Two other teams had net scores of 44 or 10 under par. With the great weather all 30 teams had net scores under par and there were only five circle hole winners with just 42 birdies.
All scores below are net (gross score minus handicap).
A flight winners (handicaps of 0-10): the Turners, first place, 10 under 40; second was a tie between the Kims, and Jae H. and Sun Lee, 8 under 46; Steve Walker and Lisa Kim, third, 7 under 47.
B flight winners (handicaps of 11-12): Norihiro and Sekino, first place, 11 under 43; second was tie between Chang Ho and Sue Choi, Seon and Sang Kim, and Walt Bier and Margie Thompson, 9 under 45; James Farr and Sandy Derouin, Young and Hae Lee, and Hyon Shin and Sang An tied for third, 7 under 47.
C flight winners (handicaps of 12-18): Steve and Connie Kang, first place, 10 under 44; Dale Williamson and Mary Greig, second, 9 under 45; Ron Jackson and Dale Quinn, third, 7 under 47.
