Guys and Gals Golf Tournament Scores

The second August Guys and Gals Tournament was played on Aug. 31. Teams of various skilled golfers with one man and one woman vied for best net scores (gross score minus handicap), 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, 18hole par 54 course that tests all who play.

A total of 28 teams (56 players) teed off and played 18 holes. The greens still have numerous weed patches, and the lack of dirt/seed-based divot-fix repair material continues to turn the once well-kept tees into sand traps.

There were only five circle holes winners but 48 birdies. Closest to the pin on the eighth hole was Glenn Barry and Devora Kim, and on the 17th hole Bob Barnum and Janice Turner. The lowest gross score was a tie between pair Bob Barnum and Kyung Ju and pair Glenn Barry and Karen Mendon at 1 under 53. The lowest net score was by Jae H. Lee and Sun Lee at 42 (12 under).
