Men’s Golf Club Tournament

On Nov. 10, the Leisure World Men’s Golf Club Tournament was played at Turtle Lake Golf Course, a 1,658yard, 18-hole, par-54 course with great fairways and greens. Two groups of three flights of variously skilled golfers, 44 in all, vied for best net scores, plus four circle holes (shots within a 5-foot circle rewarded) and two closest-tothe- pin challenges.

With temporary tees, the course played very short, leading to 29 rounds that were net at or under par and a season-high 15 circle hole winners.

A Flight encompasses golfers with handicaps of 0-7; B Flight is 8-11; and C Flight 12-18. All scores below are net (gross score minus handicap).

A Flight: First place: tie between Tom Owens and Richard Jun, a very nice 7 under 47; second: tie between Bill McKusky, Jae H. Lee and Dong Kim, a well-played 3 under 51; third: tie between Paul Alloway, Bill Lyons and Seung Lee, 2 under 52.

B Flight: First place: tie between Joon Sup Yoon and Ryan Hong, a very nice 7 under 47; second: Bill Zurn, a really good 6 under 48; third: tie between Dale Williamson and Stephen Kang, a great 5 under 49; fourth: tie between Hyon Shin and Trai Nguyen, a sweet 4 under 50.

C Flight: First place: Sang H. Kim, a tournament best 8 under 46; second: Paul Shellenberger, an excellent 7 under 47; third: Sam Williamson, an excellent 5 under 49; fourth: tie between James Choi, Jack Haskins and Brian Tivnan, a fine 4 under 50; fifth: tie between Joe DiDonato and Pater Paternoster, 3 under 51.

Closest to the pin on the par-3 seventh hole was Bob Barnum, and at the par-3 16th hole, it was Richard Jun.
