Men’s Golf Club
At the Oct. 13 Leisure World Men’s Golf Club Tournament, two groups of three flights of variously skilled golfers vied for best net scores (gross score minus handicap), plus four circle holes (shots within a five-foot circle rewarded) and two closest-to-thepin challenges.
A total of 49 golfers teed off at the par-54 Turtle Lake Golf Course and played 18 holes through the early morning and into the afternoon. The weather was sunny at the 7:30 a.m. tee time and much warmer at noon. There was a little intermittent wind, which was appreciated.However,only16ofthe 49 rounds were net at or under par, with just five circle hole winners.
A Flight encompasses golfers with handicaps of 0-7, B Flight is 8-11, and C Flight is 12-18. All scores below are net.
A Flight: First place: Glenn Barry, a very nice 5 under 49; second: John Kolthoff, a well-played 4 under 50; third: Seung Lee, 2 under 52; fourth: tie between Mike Mayfield and Bob Turner, even par 54; fifth: tie between Steve Ro, Bill McKusky, Steve Walker and Bruce Bowles, 1 over 55; sixth: tie between Jun Um and Terry Thrift, 2 over 56.
B Flight: First place: Roland Phillips, a nice 5 under 49; second Dale Williamson, a very good 2 under 52; third: Jong Lee, 1 under 53; fourth: tie between Won Song and Paul Alloway, 1 over 55; fifth: tie between Kap Son and Joon Sup Yoon, 3 over 57.
C Flight: First place: Rolando Ramirez, a terrific 6 under 48; second: James Farr, an excellent 5 under 49; third: Steven Kang, an excellent 4 under 50; fourth: tie between Brian Tivian and Jack Haskins, a fine 2 under 52; fifth: Sam Williamson, 1 under 53; sixth: tie between Paul Shellenberger and Ben Benjamins, even par 54.
Closest to the pin on the 70-yard, par-3 second hole was Steven Kang, and on the par-3 15th hole, it was Terry Thrift.
