LW Men’s Golf Club

Forty-five men of the LW Men’s Golf Club played a regular tournament at the Turtle Lake Golf Course Oct. 14. There was also a first ever nine hole tournament played by three golfers.

The golfers teed off starting at 7:30 a.m. with each man competing for best net scores, four circle holes, and two closest to the pin challenges. The course continues to suffer in the recent summer heat with bare spots in the fairways, and greens, as well as chewed up tee boxes. Only 24 of the 45 men scored net at or under par. There were 47 birdies and seven circle hole winners.

Closest to the pin on the 83yard hole No. 8 was Jae H. Lee at 3 feet, and on No. 17 it was Dave LaCascia at 2 feet 6 inches.

Average net score for the round was 59.2. Low net score for the round was Todd Chidester, at 5 under par 49, followed by Bruce Bowles, 4 under 50, and several players at 3 under 51. Low gross for the round was Thomas Kim at even par 54, followed by Jae Choi at 1 over 55.

Ron Jackson, Dennis Anctil and Darry Holten competed in the nine hole tournament with Jackson taking first place, Anctil, second and Holten third.

A flight winners (handicaps of 0–5): Jae Choi, first place; Thomas Kim, Dennis McMonigle and Trai Nguyen, second; Mike Mayfield and John Kolthoff, third; Seon Kim, fourth; Seung Lee, fifth.
