The morning was set for a fantastic day of golf, the weather was ideal and the course looked great. Natural birdies started to fly at the hands of Lonnie Podgorny, who fired off 3 natural birdies at holes 3, 9 & 13. But Lonnie was not the only BCGC Team Mate knocking off birdies, Bobby Nand birdied hole 13, Wayne Urbani birdied hole 11, Greg Lueterio birdied hole 2 and John Hawck birdied hole 7. It should be noted; Mike "The Ace" Moraes from Land Park also had 3 birdies on holes 1, 3 & 6, nice job Mike.


Low Gross for BCGC was Lonnie Podgorny shooting smooth 75, and Low Net was Mike McKenna with a 68 (-3), closely followed by Lonnie Podgorny, Bryan Spring, Will Hart and John Hawck all shooting a nice round of 69 (-2). Shooting net even par 71's were Greg Lueterio and Dave Springer.

For the first time ever, BCGC had gained 2 point or higher in all their individual matches. Leading the way with 4 points were Will Hart, Lonnie Podgorny and Bobby Nand. Both Wayne Urbani and Bryan Springer earned 3.5 points, and Greg Lueterio, Dave Springer, Mike McKenna and John Hawck each earned 3 points. Mark Edgar and George Yanez brought in 2.5 points followed by Haruo Makimoto with 2.

June 20, 2012 - Midweek Group - Skins

Wildlife on the Course

The Midweek June Skins Tournament was played under beautiful conditions, clear skies on a warm and calm day. Three threesomes competed in net skins with carry-overs inside their own group. Leon Taylor (79/65 net) made the most skins (11) in his group, while Bob Thomas (95/68 net, 9skins) and Will Hart (94/72 net, 8 skins) were tops in their respective groups. Dave Springer made 4 of the 9 total skins in the optional side game waged by four competitors.

With such a small group, there was only one flight for P.O.Y. points, all based on net scores as usual. Doug Swann came in first with a beautiful 79/64 net round. After a back-nine tiebreaker, Leon Taylor beat out Haruo Makimoto (82/65 net) for second place. Fourth went to Bob Thomas and fifth place in P.O.Y. points went to Roy Fukushima with a 94/69 net.

Thanks to all who played. Our next tournament is set for July 18th, starting at 8:03 am. Format for July and August will be individual stroke play, flighted as usual.

Hope to see you all there.
