OCGC - Club Championship results

It was two days of bright sunshine with mild to gusty wind, just enough to affect the ball flights to make club selection a little tougher. At the end, the cream raised to the top as usual and the "David and Kim show" continues with each of them retained their respective perpetual trophy three years running. For the first time in recent memory, we did not have a Calcutta for this year's Club Championship as participation was so low that whoever were there were only betting on their own money. Instead, we instituted the "Horse race", where you purchased a $2.00 ticket and picked the combination of two players as your "horses" hoping that their combined net scores were the lowest in the field and to win 50% of the total pot. When all the dusts were settled, Alex "lucky" Fong and Joe Young emerged with the picks of two thoroughbreds of Joe Young and Steve Tong to tie for the lowest combined net scores, thus split 80% of the pot for $79 a piece. The last piece of the pie for the remaining 20% were split between Alice Wong, Alan Whiteside, and Roland Kutaka for $13 a piece.

Speaking of "Lucky" Alex, besides hauling in the "horse race", he also won skins for both rounds, $52 and $44 plus closest to two holes at Shadow Lakes. Thus, we were financing his entry fee to this tournament plus interest...Too bad that the money must have weighted him down for the second round at Poppy Ridge as he faltered his three shots lead and Mighty Joe Young sneaked in to steal the A flight's low net away from him.

The award dinner at Willow Tree Restaurant was at their usual best.

The winners are as follows:

Field Low Gross - David Yip

Field Low Net - Steve Tong

A Flight Low Net - Joe Young

B Flight Low Net - Vernon Takasuka

Ladies Low Net - Kim Shek

Closest to the hole - Shadow Lakes - Alex Fong, Steve Tong, Yoch Lin, and Candy Tom

There were no KP at Poppy Ridge

Skins: Shadow Lakes - Alice Wong, Alex Fong, Chris Lang, Terry Owyang

Skins: Poppy Ridge - Alice Wong, Alex Fong, Robert Hemphill, John O'Shaughnessy (2)

Congratulations to all winners!
