NCGA Qualifier Update

This is an update of our Chardonnay tournament where the original team of David Yip, Mike Chee, Clem Leung, and Joe Young won the right to represent OCGC at the local qualifier for the NCGA Associate Club Championship. Due to scheduling conflicts, club members/ringers Ray Jeung and Ben Lee substituted in to form “Dream Team II". On June 6, the team of David, Mike, Ray and Ben teed off at Franklin Canyon from the white tees (Holes 1 and 18 were converted to par 4s) and shot a net 123, 17-under to finish tied for second place. Because of their outstanding finish, they now will advance to compete at Poppy Ridge on July 23 for the sectional qualifier, with the entry fee picked up by the club.

In addition, on June 7 David Yip competed individually at Metropolitan in the qualifier for the Master Division Championship. To be eligible for this NCGA tournament, a player must be between 40 and 55 (rumor has it that David just made the minimum age requirement) and have an index of 5.4 or less. David tied for 6th, which qualified him to advance to the Championship proper for a 2-day, 36 hole trip to Spyglass.

Congratulations to them for a job well done in representing OCGC at the NGCA qualifiers. Good luck to them at the next stage and may they bring home the hardware!

Eagle Ridge Results

40 brave souls made it out to Eagle Ridge to partake in Cha Cha Cha. The 10 teams hoped the modified best balls format would be of assistance, considering that several members and guests were playing this challenging course for the first time. A naturally difficult course became even tougher with the preposterous pin placements on almost every hole. The management must have mistaken OCGC for the PGA tour and had Sunday pins tucked in corners normally reserved for touring professionals. Some speculated that the greenskeeper had a rough night and was out to get us. This is in addition to the narrow fairways, invading hazards, generous bunkering, and the fast sloping, undulating, multi-tiered greens. How tough was it? Only 2 players broke 90, gross, and only 1 player broke net 70.

Rising above the bruised and battered was Mei-Mei Hong who shot a sizzling net 66 in leading her team of Dexter Hong, Steve Liu and Tom Yong to an overwhelming 13-shot victory over the next closest team. The husband-wife tandem proved to be quite potent as Dex also contributed with a net 70, the second lowest net score of the day. The rest were left in their dust wondering how such a triumph was attainable.

The Eagle Ridge staff and facilities were first class and I hope we come back here in the future. Congratulations to Mei-Mei, Dex, Steve and Tom and to all who won prizes. The survivors:

1st low net team: Net 120 (box of Titleist Pro-V1s and $80)

Marc Rice Results

Windy. The 36 players who made it out to Paradise Valley for the Marc Rice, Sr. Memorial Tournament would attest to that. Although the weather was great and the course was in excellent condition, the Marc Rice would be a tough test. With quick, tricky greens and gusting 2-3 club winds for most of the day, high scores were waiting on every hole. The par-5 10th was particularly tough for many making the turn, with 8 players scoring a 10 or more on this hole. 52 and 63 feet, yes feet, were closest to the pins on Hole 3 and no, they did not make the putt. The high net scores were further proof that the course conditions played like a Major where club selection and steady putting were paramount.

At the end of the day, it took a mighty effort from Joe Young who managed to shoot the low gross of the tournament with a 79, a net 68 that was the only score in the net 60s.

Afterwards, members, spouses and families convened at Silver Dragon Restaurant for a sumptuous banquet dinner. The social festivities commenced as accolades, banter and commiseration about the tough conditions were exchanged by the club members. President Chuck Chinn addressed the gregarious crowd with a brief history of the Marc Rice, and trophies and cash prizes were awarded at the conclusion.

Marc Rice, Jr. was presented $100 in gift certificates by the club in appreciation for donating trophies for this event, and a birthday cake was served in his honor. Senior members Clayton Soohoo, the first President of OCGC, and Frank Tinloy were a welcome presence at the Marc Rice. Congratulations to Master Joe Young and to all those who won prizes. Thanks to everyone for coming out and making this a fun, social event. The best of the rest:

Windsor Results

17 teams came out to Windsor Golf Club to compete for a spot in the NCGA Associate Club Four-Ball Net Championship. In the days leading up to the tournament, the weather forecast looked bleak and gloomy and many thought the tournament would be cancelled. As the day dawned, however, the radiant sun shone and it became a splendid day for golf (except for the last 3 groups who did get caught in a late downpour on the last hole).

With 2 person teams and the best ball of two format, it was a fierce contest to the very end. Ultimately, the team of Yoch Lin and Allen Tchoi eked out a 1-stroke victory over 3 other teams by shooting a net 62. Allen has promised to raise his game in representing OCGC at the NCGA qualifier. Thanks to Terry Owyang for running a smooth tournament. The results as follows:

1st low net team: Net 62 (10 under par)
Yoch Lin and Allen Tchoi ($100)
2nd low net team: Net 63 (9 under par) - tiebreaker

2007 OCGC Remaining Tournament Schedule

Updated POY Standings

The Player of the Year standings have been updated through the Chardonnay tournament. Remember that the top 3 finishers win $100, $60 and $40!

Chardonnay Results

11 teams battled at Chardonnay Golf Club for the opportunity to represent OCGC at the NCGA Associate Club Championship. The tournament was a tale of 2 courses: the more difficult Meadows course played much easier under overcast skies but with fairly benign conditions. As the clouds disappeared and the sun came out, the winds picked up making the conditions much more difficult. The easier Vineyards course played much tougher with 2-club winds seemingly on every hole.

In the end, the team of Mike Chee, Clem Leung, David Yip and Joe Young repeated as defending champs by edging out a 1-stroke victory over the team of Nicholas Chin, Kenny Fong, Tom Soohoo and Alan Whiteside. Under the best 2 balls format, the “dream team” shot a blistering 14 under par (net 58) on the front 9 and hung on to win with a 3 under par (net 69) on the back 9. Congratulations to Mike, Clem, David and Joe, and may they represent us well at the NCGA qualifier. The results as follows:

1st low net team: Net 127 (17 under par)
Mike Chee, Clem Leung, David Yip and Joe Young (box of Titleist Pro-V1s)
2nd low net team: Net 128 (16 under par)

Please pick up official scorecards at the first tee. They are located inside the plastic Ziploc bag along with the Skins envelope.

Also, please circle the 2 scores to be counted for each hole and add the 2 scores, net of the handicap. Please put the net total of the 2 scores for each hole at the bottom of the scorecard. This will make it easier for us to doublecheck the scores.

We will be playing SUMMER RULES – play the ball down as it lies.

Format: Best Two Balls of Four (Four Person Team with Best 2 Balls)Everyone on the team plays their own ball until completing the hole, then the lowest 2 net scores are recorded as the team scores for that hole.

Rules: We will be instituting the NCGA rules for this format as follows - Play will be 90% (men) and 95% (women) of the course handicap using a MAXIMUM index of 18.4 for calculation. All players with indexes of 18.5 and above are eligible but must play to a maximum index of 18.4.

Prizes: 1st, 2nd, 3rd low net teams. Lowest scoring team qualifies for the NCGA Associate Club Championship. Tiebreakers used for ties in low net scores.

We will have a raffle drawing at the end of the tournament. Each player will receive one raffle ticket for playing at Chardonnay. 3 tickets will be drawn for cash prizes of $80, $40 and $20.

Closest to the pin prizes on all par 3s.

To speed up play, please pick up if you feel that your score will not be used for that hole. For example, if 2 players on your team are on the green in 2 and you are already lying 6, then please pick up to speed up play.

Mare Island Results

56 players signed up for Mare Island, but only 36 trekked out to Mare Island despite ominous skies and intermittent showers. 34 players actually made it out onto the golf course (Hugh Lee and Bet Lai showed up to provide moral support but did not play).

The course was in fairly good condition considering how much rain had dropped in the previous few days. There were only 1 or 2 very brief drizzle showers where an umbrella or rain jacket weren’t even needed. Also, the sun actually made a cameo appearance for a few holes during the round. All in all, it was a relatively dry day for golf and shame on those who didn’t come out because of a little wetness.

Remember to turn in your scorecards before you leave, even if you are in a hurry. Without your scorecards, we cannot tabulate your scores and thus you will be ineligible to win any prizes or skins. Congratulations to Yoch Lin and Al Lim for placing 1st low net in the A and B flights, respectively. The results are posted as follows:

A flight:
1st low net: Yoch Lin ($30)
2nd low net: Alex Fong ($15)

At the end, Ray Jeung (79) blew away the field with a low net of 63, while Joe Young (78, net 66) and Seewell Leung (76, net 67 tie-break) finished second and third respectively.

Although the top 3 were guaranteed extra tickets for the raffle, they weren’t guaranteed to win the top prizes. Over $600 worth of prizes were raffled off where the winners were able to choose their prizes, except for the 4 major prizes that were raffled off at the very end. Also, new members and guests received a sleeve of balls as a token of the club’s appreciation.

I highly recommend that we come back here for future tournaments as they went out of their way to accommodate us. It was a great turnout and thanks to everyone for making this a fun event.

2006 OCGC Match Play Championship Rules

OCGC 2006 Match Play Championship

Hello to all OCGC Match Play participants. Welcome to another year of exciting play. As in years past, this is a one-on-one, single elimination event. All players will have one month to complete their matches beginning on June 19^th and culminating on or prior to November 19^th. We will know then who our new 2006 Match Play Champion will be.

Opening matches will begin immediately with the following considerations:

1. 100% difference of handicap strokes to be given to the higher handicapper.

a. Using your most current indexes, find the handicaps on the slope charts at the course selected. In coed matches, remember to see if additional handicap adjustment is necessary by find the “course ratings” for the red and white tees. If the difference is 0.5 or greater, further adjustment is needed. Determine the difference and round off to the nearest whole number (0.5 or greater will be rounded up). This whole number should be added to the handicap of the player who is playing from the more highly rated tees. If the player receiving strokes is female, be sure they are given on the women’s rated holes, not the men’s.

2. Within same sex matches, the higher handicapper will designate which of 3 courses the lower handicapper may choose to play.

a. In co-ed matches, the female player will designate the 3 courses even if her handicap is lower than that of the male player’s.

3. Players shall play their matches on a mutually agreeable date, women from the red tees and men from the white tees.
4. A progressive cash prize will be awarded for match winners.
5. Only winners will be paid.
6. All monies will be paid at the conclusion of the final round (Championship).
7. A winner of each match must be determined by the stated deadline, and reported to me immediately after the match. NO exceptions.

a. If a match date cannot be mutually agreed upon within the stated time frames for each round, the players can have a putting contest, flip a coin, etc., It does not matter so long as the method is mutually agreed upon. A name must be provided to me or both will be eliminated.

8. Players may choose to use the monthly OCGC tournament as their match site. They may match cards at the end of the tournament if they are not paired together.
9. As far as ties goes, ask the starter if you can play sudden death. If not, have a putting contest. In either case, the player who last held the “honor” should continue.
10. If any conflicts cannot be resolved, the NCGA rules for match play are to be followed. Information with respect to this can be found at the NCGA website at http://www.usga.org/rules/faq/index.html
11. Any controversies arising on any hole must be resolved before the next hole is played. However, if unable to resolve, you may play a second ball until the controversy is resolved.
12. If resolution is still not made, FINAL determination will be decided by a committee comprised of three members from the OCGC Board of Directors.

Prizes:

The $20 entry fees from the 32 entrants and the $200 club contribution will provide for a total pot of $840. The 1^st match winners will receive $20 each; 2^nd match winners $25; 3^rd match winners $30; and 4^th match winners $40. The final round (Championship) between the remaining 2 players is worth $120 to the winner.

OCGC Calcutta Night

August 4, 2005

OCGC Calcutta Night is open to all members. There is a free dinner and afterwards an auction. You will be bidding for the right to purchase the golfer who you think will have the lowest total net score in the club championship tournament.

The bidding is actually split into two pots. . . the A flight and the B flight. There will be cash prizes for the first three places in each flight. If you are lucky enough to buy a player, you must offer that person the right to purchase at least 50% of him/herself. He/she may or may not decline. You may also negotiate the percentages to anything you want, but remember you must offer at least 50% to your player.

Let me give you a simple example -- let’s say I bought player A for $20. I offer 50% of himself and he accepts. He pays me $10. Player A wins club championship and 1st place cash prize is $500. I will give player 50% or $250 of my winnings. Not a bad investment, for only $10, I’ve made a net income of $240!

You may form a partnership with one or more other club members. By pooling your money together you afford to bid higher or purchase more players and increase your chances. One person representing the partnership will be financially responsible for the purchase. It is up to that person to figure out who owes what to whom.

Tip: If you’re playing good, don’t tell anyone. If you’re playing bad, bid yourself up to what you think is the crest of your purchase then stop. Warning - don’t overestimate your worth.

Payment is due on the day of Calcutta Night - no credit given so bring your $$$ or checks. Winners will be paid on the evening of the championship awards dinner, August 14, 2005.

Rooster Run Golf Tournament Results

** NCGA QUALIFIER Sunday March 13, 2005 **

Thank you for the great turnout (48 players). Although it was a bit windy, we hope everybody had a good time! Sorry for the delay with the results as I found scoring errors on every card (even mine). Also, only 5 or 12 cards were properly signed and attested. I will email the Excel scorecard to all participants.

There was a tie at 153 for Team (Alex, Ben, Doug, Victor) and Team (George, Terry, Chris, Yoch). Using the USGA tie breaker, the last 9 hole score was also a tie at 80. The 2nd tie breaker of last 6 hole score gives Team (Alex, Ben, Doug, Victor) a one stroke edge!

1st Place = Alex, Ben, Doug, Victor ($160)
Runner up = George, Terry, Chris, Yoch ($100)

CTP @ $25 each
Hole #2 = George Kong @ 10'
Hole #6 = George Kong @ 5'4"
Hole #15 = Joe Young @ 11'1"
Hole #17 = Lawrence Wong @ 8'11"

1 SKIN - Joe Young Birdie with pop on #14 (Par 4 353 yd) = ($340)

FORMAT: 4 person Best + Worst Net balls - Take the total of the highest and lowest net scores for each hole as your team score. The maximum worst net ball score is triple bogey. I figure the winning team of this tournament will be the best representating team of OCGC for the easier NCGA 4 person 2 best ball team competition.

Format: Chapman (2 person team)
Both players will play from the teeing ground and each player plays his or her partner's ball for the second shot. After the second shot, partners select the ball with which they wish to score, and play that ball alternately to complete the hole. The team handicap index will be calculated based on 60% from the lower index and 40% from the higher index.

(BASICALLY - you will NOT hit the same ball twice consecutively! If you have questions please ask Gavin Fong)

The tiebreaker will be determined on the basis of the best score for the last nine holes. If the tying players have the same score for the last nine holes, they check the last six holes, then the last three holes, and finally the 18th hole.

If this method is used, one-half, one-third, one-sixth, or one-18th of the Course Handicaps should be deducted. Again, fractions of one-half stroke or more should count as a full stroke; any lesser fractions should be disregarded. If the conditions of the competition provide that ties shall be decide over the last nine, last six, last three, or last hole, then the Committee should also provide what will happen if all these procedures fail to produce a winner (last 12, last 15 next).

Settling ties is difficult and sometime controversial, but these USGA guideline help Committees in charge of competitions decide who the winner is in an orderly and equitable fashion. No matter how you fare, you will be confident the competition was settled fairly using these time proven methods.

Call me Sunday morning to verify if it is Rain or shine at Pittsburg - Please do not assume if it is raining in your area that the tournament if off!
