LW Men’s Golf Club

The second Leisure World Men’s Golf Club tournament of the month was held on Feb. 28 at the Turtle Lake Golf Course.

Fifty-nine variously skilled golfers in three flights vied for best net score, plus four circle holes (shots within a 5-foot circle rewarded) and two closest to the pin challenges.

The greens were wet but receptive, so it was notable that only 19 of the 59 rounds were net at or under par, yet there were 50 birdies, and nine circle hole winners.

The low gross competition was won by Bill Lyons, followed by Bob Barnum and John Kolthoff. Best net score was a 47 by Jae H. Lee, followed by Bruce Bowles, Steve Kang and Hyon Shin at 48. Closest to the pin on the seventh hole was Seon Kim at 4 feet 6 inches and Mike Mayfield at 5 feet on the 16th.

A flight winners (handicaps of 0-6): Lyons, 3 under 51, first place; second: Tom Owens, 1 under 53, second; tie between Barnum and club president Ron Steele, even par 54, third; tie between Kolthoff and Rolando Rameriz, fourth; tie between Don Newhall and Mayfield, fifth.

B flight winners (handicaps of 7-13): Jae H. Lee, 7 under 47, first place; tie between Kang, Shin and Bowles, 6 under 48 second; James Farr, 3 under 51, third; tie between Mark Tall and Gene Archambault, 1 under 53, fourth; tie between Joon Sup Yoon, Won Song, Richard Yokomi and Gary Newhall, even par 54, fifth; tie between Paul Shellenberger and Bill Long, sixth.

C flight winners (handicaps of 14-18): Mike Carlson, 4 under 50, first place; Dave Winn, 3 under 51, second; Darry Holten, 1 under 53, third; James Choi, fourth; tie between Marv Jones and Kevin Lindstedt, fifth.

The next men’s tournament will be on March 13 and every second and fourth Wednesday of each month. The Guys and Gals tournaments will be on the third and fifth Wednesday—if there is one—of each month.
