LW Men’s Golf Club

The second Leisure World Men’s Golf Club Tournament of the month was held at the Turtle Lake Golf Course on April 24. Fifty-seven variously skilled golfers in three flights vied for best net scores (gross score minus handicap), plus four circle holes (shots within a 5 foot circle rewarded) and two closest to the pin challenges.

The club thanks the golfers who fixed their ball marks on the greens. Golfers should continue to fix their ball marks and one other.

The shorter red tees were used for the front nine and the longer blue tees for the back nine, and scores were generally higher than in the past with just 21 of the 57 rounds net at or under par. However, there were a remarkable 58 birdies, and 15 circle hole winners.

The low gross competition was won by Bob Barnum, at 3 under 51, followed by Bill Lyons and Mike Mayfield. Best net score was 41 by Darry Holten, then Walt Bier and Ryan Hong at 47. Closest to the pin on the seventh hole was James Farr at 1 foot 10 inches, and Bob Boyle was closest on the 16th at 2 feet, 8 inches.

All scores below are net (gross score minus handicap).
