Twenty-three teams play Guys and Gals tournament

The next Guys and Gals tournament will be on Wednesday, Jan. 31.

The Guys and Gals tournament was played on Jan. 17 at the Turtle Lake Golf Course. A total of 23 teams (46 players) competed and completed 18 holes. It was cold and overcast for most of the round, but, thankfully, no wind. The course was not wet, and the golf ball travelled well.

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 were rewarded), and two closest to the pin challenges. Fairways were in good condition with no new wet spots reported. The trees blocking sun, and some drives adjacent to the third tee were recently trimmed and thinned. Hopefully this helps dry out this perennially wet tee box.

Overall scores were very good with 20 of 23 rounds net at or under par. Low net score for the round was by Dale Williamson and (welcome back) Judy Ornoff at 10 under 44. There were 13 rounds at net 50 or below and there were six circle hole winners with 45 birdies. All scores below are net equals gross score minus handicap. A flight winners (handicaps of 0- 8): Gene Archambault and Mary Ann Moore, first place; tie between John Rudosky and Bert Thompson, and Steve Walker and Susie Kim, second; tie between Bruce Bowles and Linda Herman, and Bob and Janice Turner, third.

B flight winners (handicaps of 9-12): tie between Alan Sewell and Patti Smith, and James Farr and Sandy Deroiun, first place; Hyon Shin and Sang An, second; Won and Jane Song, third.

C flight winners (handicaps of 12-18): Dale Williamson and Judy Ornoff, first place; Jae H. and Sun Lee, second; Lee Broadbent and Joann Lim, third; James and Grace Choi, fourth.

Closest to the pin for the men on the eighth and 16th holes was Sewell and Barnum respectively, and Quinn and Kim for the ladies. The lowest gross scores were by Archambault and Moore at 9 under 45, followed by Rudosky and Thompson and Walker and Kim at 7 under 47.

The next Guys and Gals tournament will be on Wednesday, Jan. 31. The men’s tournament is played every second and fourth Wednesday of each month. December’s tournament was rained out.
