Ironmen: Arki Galicki wins First Place and Bob Pritchard is Golfer of the Day

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, April 10, 2025, was sunny and warm. Another fine day for some golf. Twelve Ironmen played. 

Arki Galicki won First Place with a 4 under par net 23! Jerry Juracich and Bob Pritchard shared Second Place each with a net 27; and Joe Alarcon won Third Place with a net 28.

There was one Birdie by Dave Hathaway on hole 4.

Sang Nam won Closest to the Flag on hole 3 at 15 feet 10 inches.

Bob Pritchard won Low Gross with a 34.

Bob Pritchard won Golfer of the Day Honors with low gross and a second place finish. Way to go, Bob. 

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

Deep Thoughts: Regarding The Masters: “I always said that if they have a golf course like this in heaven, I want to be the head pro. Every shot is within a fraction of disaster – that’s what makes it so great.” – Gary Player, three-time winner of The Masters.

“This is The Masters. It’s got the beauty, it’s got the colour, it’s got the sound and it’s got the breezes. Everything together makes this place special. The course is perfection and it asks perfection.” – Nick Faldo, three-time winner of The Masters.
