Both races are official. Wednesday's race, which could have provided some interesting "strategy" between partners Chuck Lasher and Bruce Barr, sadly got washed away in some much needed rain. So the final results remain the same, and were as follows. 1....Chuck Lasher........652.90-----$60…
tournament-writeupsSanta's only 4 days out but lets put that on the back burner cause the Hanson Memorial rolled into Balboa Park this Sunday. Last major event of the year and a good crowd was on hand looking for a victory. First, lets remember the member who's name graces this event. Dick Hanson was the president of…
memorialsAnd the Christmas gifts go to..............who else but............."WOLIVER"......damn I'm starting to hate this guy! Other guys who snatched one from under the tree included: new guy Brian Dass, Teddy Lance, Denis Arguin, Joe Wood (finally bested Lasher), Big Jim Muttera, Little Jeffy…
tournament-writeupsA new tournament format was used for this Wednesday event which only counted your best nine (front or back). I call it the lazy man's tourny cause if your played well on the front, the back nine was just like a day off. But wait, some players pursevered and used the final nine for their golden…

He started slow, gave everyone hope, and then snatched it away and emerged the winner of the 80th Balboa Men's Club Championship -- and his name is TOM WOLIVER! After a 78 and standing in 8th after round #1, Tom surged to the front with the lowest round of the event with a 69 on day #2 to hold a…
tournament-writeupsTalk about pressure, all alone from the red tees, three sets of eyes watching your ever move, it must be the annual firecracker scramble! It seems so easy but many a good player putted out only to see a double or even a triple go on the card. So who's play netted the rockets red glare and who ended…
tournament-writeupsThe July Red, White, & Blue which was actually played as a White, Red, & Blue by guys wearing orange, black, and green shirts. Oh hell, I just confused myself!! Anyway their was fireworks abound in the top flight. John Hoffman started hot going 5 under, aided by an eagle on #2, after only 7 holes.…
Well, you didn't need superior math skills to add'em up in this Wednesday event which featured super low net scoring. How low were they? Charlie Chance was calling for handicap reviews and he shot a 66 net and still lost by two. Were the greens that perfect, the fairways that lush, or did Pure…
You know the saying, when the cats away..... With regular tournament director, Peter Berk, on sabatical this event set records for debachery. The early finishers were enjoying a peaceful beer in the scoring room overlooking the 18th green when some idiot (that would be me), decide to start betting…
I just wanted to say I was having a great, relaxing day at Ivanhoe on Sunday 4/6 when I met their "GM" who on the 16th tee accused me of jumping in front of his group and was an ass about it, ruined my day. Anyone who knows this guy should mention to him that on a Sunday morning with not many on…
Magic....Four iron, low straight, nice bounce, & nothing but net. That was the winner, as Rob Mills cards a rare hole-in-one on #6 to win big. Rob's take includes the "hole in one pot" of $362, closest to the pin of $50, and 1st in his flight, another $50 for a total haul of $462!! The cash sends…
No heavy lifting is this one, just grab a couple or three of your favorite weapons and take off! Grassa chose well shooting 71. Rob Mills chose well shooting 73. Woliver chose well shooting 75. And Tinsley, he just chose to stay home. Joe say it ain't so! Art Shannon hit the pick 4 and won Flight…
tournament-writeups1st event of 2014 dawned with cool foggy weather that had guys grabbing their slightly used Christmas sweaters at the start of the round. That didn't last long as Joe Tinsley warmed up the weather and lifted the fog in record time. The club champ holed seven birdies to go with a lone bogie to post…
