White Team - Captain Jeff Chanen
HOME
The “45” tournament concluded Saturday night the 16th.
Eddie Munoz and his hard working staff, the Pro Shop, Food & Beverage hit a Grand Slam!
Every (i) was dotted and (t) was crossed!
Even the complete Greens Keeping staff paraded across the driving range to a standing ovation!
The Saturday Night party was first class with Frank DiSalvo providing a crooners song book that even had Ted Wilson singing along!!
But in between the driving range and the evening entertainment was a roll up your sleeves and intense golf tournament!
The guests that came were polite, respectful, funny…..and were tough competitors on the course!
Some familiar faces showed up as well – Paul Kliewer (and yes him & Chuck Huffstutter won Flight 3.)
Bill Stevens teamed up with (rent-a-winner Ken Schwoerer) for a Tie for 3rd in Flight 6.
New member Ed Santana (this guy has game) and his partner (Cook) won Flight 4 & he tied for 2nd in the chipping contest.
Many members brought their sons as their guests – Can these guys hit the ball (Max Simpson, Rob Gage, Cohen, Schoenhals, Sulzbach & Jackson)
Bob Engelke brought his buddy Bob Valdez from Oregon – a nice guy that smiled alot……and made every putt.
After the end of play, to determine ‘The 45’ winner, all (11) Flight winners went to the Challenge Course hole #7 for a (3 hole shootout.)
After the elimination process, Bart Olson with his partner Lewis was crowned the winner!…Congrats!!
