Ironmen complete second round of Club Championship

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.

The Ironmen welcomed a new member to our club: Rich James. Welcome, Rich!

Thursday, October 12 was again sunny and warm—another great day for golf.

Thursday was also the second round of the Ironmen Club Championship tournament. The final round will be played next Thursday. See the current standings below.

On September 12, 14 Ironmen played.

Hiei Takazawa won Third Place with a net 27; Arki Galicki and Chuck Benjamin shared Second Place, each with a net 26; and Larry Dorsey won First Place with a net 25.

There were three Birdies today: one by Larry Dorsey on Hole #1; one by Arki Galicki on Hole #5; and one by Hiei Takazawa on Hole #9.

Victor Hong won Closest to the Flag on Hole #4 at 10 feet, 3 inches. Larry Dorsey won Low Gross with a 31. He also won the Golfer of the Day honors with low gross, a first place finish, and a birdie. Way to go, Larry!

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
