Bob Barnum aces hole No. 7 at Guys & Gals Tournament
This month’s Leisure World Guys & Gals Tournament was played on the Turtle Lake Golf Course on Nov. 17. Three flights of one-man-and-onewoman teams participated for best net scores, four circle holes (within a 5-foot circle) and two closest-to-the-pin challenges.
A total of 34 teams played throughout the early morning and into the afternoon. The fairways are in very good shape, but temporary tees have made the course about a third shorter than normal, with no holes over 95 yards, resulting in some extremely low scores. Every team was net below par, and there were a record number of 20 circle hole winners. One hole-in-one was carded by Bob Barnum on hole No. 7.
All scores below are net (gross score minus handicap). A Flight encompasses golfers with handicaps of 0-10; B Flight is 11-13; and C Flight is 14-18.
A Flight: First place: Bill Lyons and Pam Krug, a terrific 15 under 39; second: Walt Bier and Margie Thompson, a really nice 13 under 41; third: Jae H. Lee and Sun Lee, a superb 10 under 44; fourth: Terry Thrift and Mary Ann Moore, a really good 9 under 45.
B Flight: First place: Kyoo Choi and Bong Choi, an incredible 17 under 37; second: Gene Archambault and Sally Park, a remarkable 15 under 39; third: Tom Owens and Helen Yoon, a sweet 12 under 42; fourth: Steve Ro and Elizabeth Butterfield, a very well-played 11 under 43.
C Flight: First place: Ryan Hong and Kay Hong, a fabulous 17 under 37; second: Dale Williamson and Mary Grieg, an excellent 16 under 38; third: Bill Zurn and Neva Senske, a sensational 13 under 41; fourth: tie between Youn Lee and Melinda Lee, Marv Jones and Marilyn Hewitt, and Bill McKusky and Joyce Basch, an outstanding 12 under 42.
Closest to the pin on the par-3 seventh hole were Barnum and Thompson, while on the par-3 16th hole, it was Zurn and Joyce Basch.
