Ironmen: Chuck Benjamin, Walter Lucas and Bob Pritchard tie for first place

It is with great sorrow that we acknowledge the passing of our long-time club member, club secretary and friend Bill Travis.

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

On Thursday, May 1, 2025, 13 Ironmen played. It was warm and clear, another fine day for some golf.

There was a three-way tie for first place between Chuck Benjamin, Walter Lucas and Bob Pritchard, all with net 27s. Gene O’Donnell took second place with a net 28, and Dave Hathaway finished third with a net 29.

There were three birdies today made by Arki Galicki on hole 9, Dave Hathaway on hole 8 and Walter Lucas, also on hole 8.

Walter Lucas won closest to the flag on hole 6 at 29 feet 10 inches.

Dave Hathaway won low gross with a score of 33.

Dave Hathaway and Walter Lucas shared “Golfer of the Day” honors: Dave with low gross, third place and a birdie, and Walter with first place, a birdie and closest to the flag. Way to go, Dave and Walter!

A reminder: If every Ironman at each game takes the time to fill in all divots and repair any green damage noticed during the round, we would be making a big contribution toward maintaining our course.
