Ironmen 9/12

By Bill Travis and Jerry Juracich

The Ironmen are in morning play, gathering every Thursday morning at 10 a.m. with a shotgun start, sweeps, birdie pool, and closest to the pin.

Thursday, September 5 was sunny and warm—another great day for golf.
Thursday was also the first round of the Ironmen Club Championship tournament. Two more rounds to follow in the next two weeks.

Bill Travis won Third Place with a net 28; Second Place was a six-way tie between Larry Dorsey, Victor Hong, Jerry Juracich, Walter Lucas, and Jim White, and Arki Galicki, each with a net 27; and Sang Nam won First Place with a net 26.

There were two Birdies today: one by Victor Hong on hole 3; and the other by Bill Travis on hole 4.

Sang Nam won Closest to the Flag on hole 3 at 8 feet, 3 inches.

Sang Nam also won Low Gross with a 29.

Sang Nam won Golfer of the Day honors with low gross, first place, and closest to the flag. Way to go, Sang.

A reminder: If every Ironman at every game would take the time to fill in all divots and green damage noticed during each week’s game, we would be making a big contribution toward maintaining our own course!

The Ironmen 9-hole, par 3 group would love to add new members. We are a very sociable group and play basically pressure-free golf. And the first round is on us. Just call Jerry Juracich at 408-440-8283. You can also visit our website at http://ironmen.vgcc.club
