Hugh Lee Tournament of Champions Results

On a pleasant October Sunday full of warm sunshine, a huge turnout of 60 players ventured out to Blue Rock East for the inaugural Hugh Lee Tournament of Champions. Hugh and Shirley Lee welcomed everyone with smiles and bags of goodies filled with char siu bao and snacks. Golf was almost secondary as the players came out to thank Hugh for his countless contributions to OCGC over the past 40 years.

When all was said and done, Ray Jeung won the inaugural Hugh Lee TOC trophy by shooting the low net of the tournament with a stellar net 62, beating Caxton Rhodes by 2 strokes. Caxton placed first in the B flight as consolation, while Terry Owyang captured the A flight and Jeanne Yip prevailed in the Ladies’ flight. Ray will have his name engraved on the permanent trophy that was donated by Hugh and will keep the trophy for the next year, as well as a separate trophy for his very own.

As a small token of appreciation for Hugh’s outstanding dedication and service, the club presented to Hugh certificates for 2 free rounds of golf at Roddy Ranch. Many thanks to Hugh for all his guidance and contributions for the past 4 decades. In the same spirit of volunteering, special thanks to Chris Pangilinan who donated his time in creating the scoring spreadsheet every tournament which made my job so much easier and everyone’s wait for the results that much shorter on Sundays. Congratulations to Hugh Lee TOC Champion Ray Jeung and to all the winners. The results as follows:

Club Championship Results

147… 71 and 76… 3 over par for 2 rounds… the winning score of David Yip, our 2007 Club Champion. Shooting an exceptional 1-under par at Roddy Ranch, David held a 3- shot lead going into the second round of the Club Championship. After “grinding” out a 76 at Summitpointe, David extended his margin of victory to 8 shots and won a crystal bowl trophy, $75 cash and a box of Titleist Pro-V1s.

Jason Jeung captured the low net in the A flight by shooting net 64 and net 66. Jason shot a 79 at Roddy Ranch, the first time he has ever broken 80 and followed that up with a solid 81 at Summitpointe. George Kong, who was the only other player to shoot both rounds in the 70s, finished second in low gross and low net. Ken Fong came from 5 strokes back to take 3rd low net.

In the B flight, Nicholas Chin had the lowest gross and net totals to win the top prize, while low net honors went to Victor Jin who had declared himself “out of the tournament” after he scored a 13 on Hole 6 at Roddy Ranch. Al Lim held off Mark Wong, who made a furious comeback in shooting a net 66, to finish 2nd low net by 1 stroke. Amongst the women, Judy Lim won the ladies’ low net trophy with a closest to the pin that was “1 foot 19 ½ inches.”

At the conclusion of the round, everyone congregated at King Crab Restaurant for a delectable banquet dinner. Incoming President David Yip announced the newly elected Board members for the coming year. Crystal bowl trophies and cash prizes were handed out to the winners and Calcutta payouts were distributed for all the horses who placed. The syndicate of Mike Chee, Clem Leung, Seewell Leung and KK Tong won $900 for 1st low net in the A flight, while the syndicate of Chuck Chinn and Rudy Cristobal won $400 for 1st low net in the B flight.

Hiddenbrooke Results

A great turnout of 51 players ventured out to Hiddenbrooke to play this local course favorite. Despite the gusting winds and tricky greens, good scores were to be had. Under the Criss Cross format, players could salvage some bad front nine scores by playing well on the back nine, while others who posted good front nine scores could be ultra aggressive on the back nine. Strategy and good course management played vital roles in this scoring format.

After the results were tabulated, it was another tournament entered, another victory. Joe Young (net 26) used timely scoring and a healthy bicep to win the A flight while Shirley Lee (net 23) shot a scorching net 62 to capture the B flight. This same duo most recently won at the Marc Rice and must be considered early favorites for the Club Championship next month.

The question now remains: can anyone stop them on their winning streak? Perhaps David Yip, who shot a remarkable 1-under par, gross 71 (4 birdies, 3 bogeys), will have something to say about that. Or Dianne Richmond who finished 2nd by shooting a net 66 and finished 3rd at the Marc Rice. If you don’t come out and play, you’ll never give yourself the chance. Congratulations to Shirley and mighty Joe who each won $40 and a box of Titleist Pro-V1s and to all the winners.

A flight:
1st low net ($40 and box of Titleist Pro-V1s): Joe Young (net 26)
