Our last weekend event of 2016 crowned our 2005 Senior Club Champion Larry Barron as our 2016 Hanson Memorial winner! Lucky Larry has been on a hot streak recently. He didn't get into the Wednesday T of C until winning the last event, and now he is the first guy to qualify for both the Wednesday…
memorialsSteve Dani won the individual a week ago and followed it up with a victory in the 2 man scramble. Steve teamed up with Josh Ginsburg and their 74 gross took the top step in Flight #2. Not to be out done, Chris Lawson grabbed Rob Mills as a partner and he to followed up last weeks individual triumph…
Yes, it was hot but the strong Santa Ana winds ended up having their say as only four golfers posted red numbers on the board. The scoreboard that usually looks like the election map last night (covered in RED) was pretty tame today. Could it be the late night election watcher effect? Maybe. So…
(For those that played early yesterday, you can understand how I couldn't resist that headline.) Had a good sized turnout for a beautiful day this past Sunday at Balboa. We found the golf course with greens that were a tad shaggy, some real rough in some places, and basically entirely too much…
Mark Demmitt is starting to get the hills, valleys, green breaks, and odd bounces figured out when playing on the Balboa links. He parlayed that knowledge into his first victory of the year by winning the net division in flight three. The first year member posted a 53.6 net which bested Ed Horbett…
A nice front coupled with a torrid back nine (39) powered Brett Chase to the top gross position, his first win of the year, in the second flight. He was so... close to breaking into the magical seventies if not for a couple of putts, right on line, just short. It's a good thing he buckled down on…
The first of the years majors (The Presidents Cup) went down to the final group to find a champion. First in hot seat was Tim Nou with a final round 69 net and 147 total. He was soon rousted out of the top spot as Tom Withers rang up a 68 net for a even par 144 total. Still to come was first round…
tournament-writeupsThe word has already been spread though out the valleys of the park but for those who haven't heard another ACE has been scored. The last time this event happened was when Steve Klein put one in the jar on #9 about 8 months ago. This time the event occurred when the Senior Match Play Team was…
Greetings all! Sorry for the delay in getting you these results. Lots of baseball early in the week, then the Masters starts, and well....Funny how the only ones to say anything are the ones that won all the money. Be careful what you wish for, as you wouldn't want me to break up the band, would…
tournament-writeupsI have to lead with some well deserved praise to everyone that played in this "event" . Not only did everyone show up, but they all made it to the course on time, in spite of having to set their clocks ahead 1 hour the night before. Great job Men's Club! Now, on to our "event" . You hopefully have…
tournament-writeupsHi Fellas! I was just wondering if we were ever going to get a 2016 tournament schedule here or somewhere else? I do this really weird thing, sometimes, called "planning" and if I am "planning" on being here for a Men's Club tournament I would not have already made "plans" to be in say Santa…
tournament-writeupsWe had a great turnout for our annual Pinehurst (alternate shot) event. The scores started out pretty good, and they just kept getting lower. And lower. And lower. First, there was our tournament director Peter Berk and his partner Bob Gentles, who were feeling pretty good about their net 63, until…
tournament-writeupsToday we buried our good friend Del Kay. I'm still in a state of dis-belief as I'm sure most of you are too!! He always seemed to be in the picture of heath & looked like he'd be around forever. We had a nice turn-out at the church & the Balboa club house. I'm sure Del appreciated the send off. The…
