OCGC - Franklin Canyon Results

It was a mostly calm day at Franklin Canyon for this year first fun team event of two-person net best ball. The course was in relatively good shape, but the greens were aerated a few weeks ago with questionable breaks and speed. However, good scores abound despite the bumpy greens.

The team of KK Tong and Victor Gin, ham and egging it so well that they lapsed the field with a net best ball score of 56. The team of Alice Wong and Valerie Yee came in with a sizzling 61, which tied Stephen Tong and Kenny Thaxton's team with the same score. However, due to the ladies' course rating was 1.5 strokes higher than the guys, Alice and Valerie captured second place with an adjusted net score of 59. Sorry, Stephen and Kenny, better luck next time, third place was still good. All winners received gift cards for the pro shop.

• Men play from the middle tees (white), ladies play from the forward tees (red)
  
• Play ready golf when it is safe to do so. Keep pace with the group in front of you. DON’T LOOK BACK!
  
• Summer rules, play the ball at it lies.
  
• Each player plays his/her own ball as stroke play, but enter as the team score the best net score between the team members. You may pick up, if your partner has already holed out for a better net score for the hole, and enter an “X” as your score for that hole. For posting purposes, use the “equitable stroke controls” to determine what you would have made on that hole.
• 
  The 20 minutes time clock will be in effect. Your group’s two score cards must be turned into the scorer’s table within 20 minutes of the group in front of you. Penalty: two strokes will be added to both teams’ final net scores. DO NOT GO TO YOUR CAR FIRST!
  
• Local Rules:
  Out of bounds – all boundary fences and the maintenance yard on hole #9 and area marked by white- stakes are out of bound. Penalty – stroke and distance
  Canyon and streams are played as lateral hazard.
• 
  Tie-breaker: The team with the lower team handicap will prevail.

Marc Rice Results - Correction

Correction to the incorrect post of the Ladies Flight results. Both Alice Wong and Candy Tom tied for low net in the Ladies' flight, with a lower handicap, Alice narrowly claimed victory and the perpetual trophy. Joyce was third in the standing. Sorry for the error.

2010 Marc Rice Memorial Tournament Results

It was a warm and sunny day with 36 souls eyeing for the Marc Rice perpetual trophies at the tough tracks of Boundary Oak Golf Course in Walnut Creek. The course itself was in good condition, but the greens were recently aerated and putting was a guessing game at best. However, good scores abound and at the end, we have five players tied for the low net of 68, by the tie breaking rules established by the club years ago, Mighty Joe Young, your tournament co-chair, emerged as victor to clam the Field Low Net prize. Alice Wong narrowly defeated Joyce Shao to claim the lady’s low net trophy. The award dinner at the Imperial Seafood Restaurant was also a winner, thanks to Doug Low, who pitched in to reserve the restaurant and selected the menu for us. The entire field winners are as follows:


Field Low Net – Joe Young

Men’s A flight – 1st net – Sam Tong; 2nd net – Lawrence Wong

Men’s B flight – 1st net – Caxton Rhodes; 2nd net – Ken Wong

2010 Rancho Solano results

It was a windless, sunny and warm day for our first tournament of 2010 with 34 brave souls frolicking in the undulated big greens of Rancho Solano Golf Course. However, the scores were not reflective of the calm condition of the course especially when we were playing winter rules through the greens for the event. For the first time in awhile, the 20 minutes time clock was in effect and all players were warned not to go to their cars after completion of their rounds and to turn in their score cards as soon as they have signed and attested to the scores. The last group, however, was the recipient of the first ever assessed two strokes penalty for each member of the group. Despite the additional penalty strokes, Terry Owyang, Mr. Luckydog, won the A flight with a net score of 69 (67 + 2 penalty strokes). The entire field winners are as follows:

A Flight: Terry Owyang – 69; Lawrence Wong – 70; Joe Young – 71

B Flight: Caxton Rhodes – 70; William Wallace – 74; Stephen Tong - 77 (won on tie-breaker over KK Tong)

Ladies Flight: Alice Wong – 66; Jadine Tome – 72

KP: Hole #5 – Sam Tong; Hole #8 – Caxton Rhodes; Hole #12 – Joe Young; Hole # 15 – Carol Ung

Skins: Payout $62 per skin – Hole #3 – Sam Tong; hole # 6 & #8 – Jadine Tom; Hole #9 – Lawrence Wong; Hole #17 – Terry Owyang

Congratulations to all winners and don’t forget to sign up for the Marc Rice Tournament in April.

2009 Daimo Cup results

Congratulations to Shirley Lee for winning the 2009 Daimo Cup with a net score of 65, lapping the field with a three shots win. The course was in great condition with tight fairways and fast greens. Most of the big hitters were succumbed to the tough track. Can’t blame the high scores on the weather as it was warm and very little wind. The winners are as follows:

A flight – Sam Tong – Net 69 (won on tie-breaker over Jasmer Lorenzo with a lower handicap)
B flight – Johnny Mui – Net 70
Ladies flight – Shirley Lee – Net 65

Closest to the hole: #3 – B Flight – None
#8 – A flight – Yoch Lin
#12 All flight – Erwin Young (guest)
#15 Ladies flight – Kim Shek

There were no skins as all holes were tied. If you have signed up for skin, check with Terry Owyang for a refund.
