LW Men’s Golf Club
A sunny and humid morning welcomed the players in the LW Men’s Golf Club tournament on July 9. Fifty-seven golfers teed off at 7:30 a.m. at the 1,680-yard par 54 Turtle Lake Golf Course.
Each man competed for best net scores (gross score minus handicap), plus four circle holes (shots within a 5-foot radius rewarded), and two closest to the pin challenges.
The course was in great condition. Even so, only 23 of the 57 men scored net at or under par.
There were 59 birdies plus nine circle holes.
Closest to the pin on No. 8 was Bob Johnston at 1 foot, and on No. 17 Walt Kim was closest at 3 feet 8 inches. Low net score for the round was by Mark Tal at 8 under 46, followed by Byron Schweitzer at 48, and 2 others at 49. Low gross for the tournament was Seon Kim at 3 under 51, then Bob Barnum at 52, followed by John Kolthoff at 53. Average net scores by for all players is 54.86 strokes or not quite two strokes over par.
A flight winners (handicaps of 0-5): Seon Kim, first place; Kolthoff, second; Barnum, third; Jae Choi, Johnston and Bruce Bowles, fourth; Pat Paternoster and Dave LaCascia, fifth; Mike Mayfield, and Dong On Kim, sixth.
