Five days ago was the official start of autumn season. Time goes by fast when you’re having fun, doesn’t it? Two more weeks to SGC’s golf summer season. SGC has already achieved some of the important things it has to achieve in preparation for next year’s golf season. Most of the issues were discussed and voted on by members who attended the meeting two weeks ago. Everything is in place except of two major issues – GTAA 2016 which SGC is hosting, and 2016 golf schedule. The former’s only issue is where to get the ideal venue for that event while the issue with the latter is, who is going to do the schedule for next year. So far, no one has step forward to claim the responsibility of negotiating with various golf courses and get it done. Of all the active intelligent members that SGC has, it is still a mystery why no one volunteers. Yes sir, we need volunteers. It could be several members doing it instead of one as long as there is coordination and working as one unit. In the 2016 GTAA annual meeting, SGC will be represented by Mike Montilla, Jimmy Manguerra & Julio Rodriguez.

Sunday banter: A rare phenomena happened last Sunday at Westview golf course. Here was the scenario: Last foursome teeing off, last hole to be played – a par 3 171 uphill yards from the blue tees with previous groups congregating around the last hole watching the last foursome tee off. One member of that foursome, Manny Chea pulled a 5 iron from the bag, hit the ball that bounced off the green fringe and slowly crawled the green into the hole. An ace. Hole-in-one. Wow. Everyone who witnessed the shot jumped in jubilation. Incidentally, Manny C. also fired the lowest gross score of 76 for that day. Well done. (Pics courtesy of Julio R.)

Nassau: A wily veteran, Ricky Reyes shared the spotlight by winning the prize of the day by turning in a net score of 68. With that best low net score, what else did Ricky win, you asked? He won the overall net score and shared the back nine with Bert C. The front nine was won solo by Paolo B. hmmm not bad after returning in four weeks.

 

Closest to the pin: Middle course hole 5: Lina M.; Middle course hole 7: Rene Q.; Lakeland course hole 4: Rey P.; Lakeland course hole 9: Bong M.
