SGC is now officially at the halfway mark of the summer golf season. A good number of players showed up and played Kingsforest golf course last Sunday. As a matter of fact twenty-five members were able to tee it up. Some members were committed to other two golf events that were simultaneously happening and surely with the intention of supporting worthy charitable causes. The sky opened up and then came the rain downpour for brief minutes at the early round. After that the sun came out and turned to sticky hot afternoon altogether. The golf course was still not really in tip top shape most especially the fairways which are missing a lot of patches of no grass since we played here a month ago. You were just out of luck if your ball happened to stay in one of those.

Anyway, regardless of the not so ideal venue situation, the best story line here was a performance of one new member who fired a gross score of three over par 75. This piece by far was an exultation of Brian Kim’s credential as a superb golf player.

 

 

 

 

 

Nassau: First time winners catapulted in winning the corners unexpectedly. Ricky R. skillfully took the front nine while Bert C. grabbed the back and overall.

Closest to the pin: If you think a senior member could not hit it close to a 192 yards par 3 hole, you were wrong. Fred DLR fired with gusto to win the 5^th hole. As far as the back nine 17^th hole was concerned, nobody could get on the green until the 4^th flight of players took their turns. Julio R. was in this group and had no problems hitting it close that no one from the groups that followed could beat.

Race to Month 3: With only two rounds to go, Dave N. took the liberty of pushing himself ahead by shooting a net of 70 giving him a lead of a mere stroke from Seho O. and Bert C. Two others players four strokes behind are Joey C. and JC M.

Race to POY: Same faces sit atop the power lead halfway down – Jimmy M. Jojo D., Seho O. & Joey C. Anybody’s game to win it all.

Race to Senior POY: It looks like this is a race for two people right out for Joey C. & Seho O. Both possess a huge margin from those running from third place and down. Unless someone shoots the light out of the remaining games, this could be the game for either of the players mentioned above.

Congratulations to the winners.
