22 teams tee off at October golf tournament
GUYS AND GALS TOURNAMENT
The monthly Guys and Gals Tournament was played on Oct. 18 on the Turtle Lake Golf Course. The contest was competed under initially foggy, cool, and overcast conditions. Eventually the sun broke through with clear skies, warmer temperatures and just a slight breeze.
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.
A total of 22 teams (44 players) teed off and played 18 holes. Fairways are in good condition and the greens are nearly weed free. Tee boxes are still in just average condition with numerous unfilled divots.
Overall scores were very good with 20 of 22 rounds net at or under par. Low net score for the round was by Lee Broadbent and Joann Lim at 12 under 42, second lowest was Walt Bier and Margie Thompson, followed by Bruce Bowles and Linda Herman.
