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, October 10, 2024, was partly cloudy with mild temperatures for a nice change. Sixteen Ironmen played.
There was a three-way tie for Third Place between Chuck Benjamin, Larry Dorsey, and Dave Hathaway, all with net 28s; Walter Lucas and Hiei Takazawa shared Second Place with net 27s; and Joe Alarcon won First Place with a 3 under par net 24.
There were no Birdies today.
Jim White won Closest to the Flag on hole 8 at 15 feet, 3 inches.
Joe Alarcon and Dave Hathaway shared Low Gross with 32s.
Joe Alarcon and Dave Hathaway shared Golfer of the Day honors: Joe with low gross and a first place finish, and Dave Hathaway with low gross and a third place finish. Way to go, guys.
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 https://ironmen.vgcc.club
