Twenty-Two members got together at Bartley Cavanaugh for our July tournament. It was very warm, 90 degrees by the end, but not bad considering Monday had been 106! And a moderate breeze blew most of the day to cool us even more. There were some wet spots in the fairways due to the required heavy watering during the early morning hours, but the greens were fine.
In an effort to provide more chances to win prizes, the format was set to award all flights with 3 places for front 9 and back 9 net scores, plus low total net and gross. Big winners were as follows: For the ladies, Pat Mar won low net front (32, low net back (37), low net total (69) and low gross (94). Very impressive.
For the Men’s
A flight, Garry Lowe was the big winner with his best round to date at
Cavanaugh: 2nd low net front (33), low net back (29!) and low net total (62).
Dave Springer picked up 3rd low net front (33), 2nd low net back (30), and low
gross (79) to rack up the next best winnings total. For the Men’s B flight, Ron
McKenna showed the way firing a nifty net 32/35 (67) to pick up 1st and 2nd on
the front and back 9’s and low net to boot. Glen Kinion’s 33/35 earned 3rd and
1st on the two 9’s, and his 91 was the low gross. The final tally for the
stroke play game was 12 of 22 players in the money.
In the closest to the pin competition, Jean Chong was closest on both with 9’0 on #5 and 27’3 at #17. In the Men’s A group, Greg Fletcher got to 5’-5” on #5 and Haruo Makimoto was 20’-1” at #17. Manny Jauregui’s 25’-0” and Tim Waits’ 34’-11” took the prize for Men’s B at #5 and #17.
Lastly, in the optional net skins game, Jean Chong’s one on #5, Tim Waits’ 3 on #4, Bob Thomas’ twos on #10 and #18, Haruo’s 3 on #11, Don Sperling’s one on #12 and 2 on #13 and Dave Springer’s 2 on #14 and one on #17 totaled 9 skins for 13 participants.
All said and done, 16 of the 22 members playing today won something, including two first time winners. Congratulations to you all. Thanks for playing, I hope to see you all at our next event, August 20th starting at 8 AM again.
