Royal Woodbine golf course as the most centralized and convenient location for almost of the twenty-seven players that showed up and played last Sunday, welcomed us with perfect weather conditions at twenty-eight degrees Celsius with the sun shining brightly all day long. For the whole summer, this was the last time SGC ever got to play this golf course but outside our summer tournament, a few players I’ve known play this course on weekdays.
A cohesive and clutch effort from five players, factored into the equation of net scoring in the high 60s – Joey Cruz, Seho Oh, & Exe Navarette all with 67; Steve Kim & Sophera Tuy trailed two strokes behind with 69. Did I get that feeling players were getting better or the courses were getting easier?

Surprisingly, day prize was claimed by three players: The unflappable Joey Cruz together with the quiet assassin Seho Oh and the comeback story Exe Navarette all signed their respective scorecards with nets of 67 as mentioned above. Due to this shared day prize, all three of them as participants of the Nassau scoring contest, captured the total net as well. Exe added to his repertoire by winning the back nine and appeared to be the big winner of them all. Joey & Seho because of these wins just joined the day prize multiple winners club with four other players. Beware people. Guess who’s leading three major categories – MIP, SPOY, & POY, if the season ends today it is Joey Cruz. Repeat of the same feat two years ago? Could somebody stop this guy?
Alone seizing the Nassau front nine was the promising Sophera Tuy.
Par 3 closest to the pin contest: Seho Oh getting it done on the par 3 fourth hole while one of SGC’s newbie Sangva Sok when it mattered most, put it on the green on the tenth hole that nobody could beat even if his ball landed twenty yards from the pin location. Way to go, Sangva.

Congatulations to the winners.
