Two golfers sink hole in ones

MEN'S GOLF LEAGUE

The first Leisure World Men’s Golf Club Tournament of the month was played on Aug. 10. Two groups of three flights of variously skilled golfers vied for best net scores, plus two circle holes (shots within a 5-foot radius are rewarded) and two closest to the pin challenges. The Turtle Lake Golf Course is a 1,658-yard, par 54 course that has challenges for all who play.

A total of 56 golfers teed off and played 18 holes. This week there were two Holes-In-One recorded, one by Yong J. Kim on hole No. 2 and one by Richard Jun on hole No. 13. Overall, only 25 of the golfers were net at or under par, with just seven circle holes and remarkably 53 birdies. Closest to the pin on hole No. 6 was Andrew Kim, and Richard Jun on hole No. 15.

All golfers are responsible for their tee box and divots and ball marks on the greens. Golfers are asked to repair their own divots, plus one more.

All scores are net (gross minus handicap). A Flight handicaps are 0-6, B Flight handicaps are 7-10, and C Flight handicaps are 12-18.

A Flight: First place: four-way tie between Joltin John Kolthoff, Pat Paternoster, Steve Walker and Richard Jun, a hard earned 2 under 52; second: tie between Glen Barry and Young Lee, a nice 1 under 53; third: three-way tie between Dong Kim, Mike Mayfield, and Gene Archambault, a well-played even par 54.

B Flight: First place: Bruce Bowles, a terrific 6 under 48; second: Jong Lee, an excellent 3 under 51; third: three-way tie between Dale Williamson, Bill Long and Bob Johnston, a nice 2 under 52; fourth: tie between Walt Bier and Trai Nguyen, a marvelous 1 under

Richard Jun 53; fifth: Paul Alloway, a sweet even par 54.

C Flight: First place: Joon Sup Yoon, a fine 6 under 48; second: Ben Benjamins, an outstanding 5 under 49; third: tie between Mike Carlson and Dave Winn, a very good 2 under 52; fourth: tie between Joe DiDonato and John Rudosky, a super 1 under 53; fifth: tie between Manny Miranda and Richard McPartland, at even par 54. The next men’s tournament will be held on Aug. 24 and then every second and fourth Wednesday of the following months. Those who planned to play in any tournament and need to cancel should contact Alan Sewell (541) 324-8558 or Dave LaCascia (801) 674-5975 as soon as possible.

Nominations for next season’s officers will be taken at this meeting.
