Thank you Tom for sharing your wealth

It was the oldtimers honor tuesday to add some great young talent to our humble game. Thanks to the Ray Sharma family who are their host we welcomed The Key sisters; Wenyung, Munchin, and Siyi hailing from Auckland NZ and Izzy Leung from Hong Kong. Wen was a top player for the Washington Huskies where her 133 career rounds tie for 4th all time. Her accomplishments would fill a page but one of her greatest honors was being invited to compete in the inaugural Augusta Womens Amateur Championship. Issy Leung from Shatin Hong Kong played for the University of Hawaii where she led the team in scoring average for 3 consecutive years and was named first team all Big West. The ladies anchored 4 teams and the pleasure of watching them play brought smiles to the 11 old timers present. Along with Bob at 11 siyi won closest to the pin on 5 even though playing from the blue tees. Grizzly and Retread raked in most of the money but there were no losers on Tuesday. Charlie Voss +1 to 26. Michael Parmentier -1 to 32.

Voss, Eggert, Nealis and Dister. Individually, Dister won the front at +5, tied with Moosmann and Sharma at +2 on the back and won total at +7. Hall takes 2nd on the front at +2. C. Voss and Moosmann split 3rd at +1. Moosmann takes 2nd total at +3 and Eichelberger takes 3rd at +1. Nealis wins the Greenie on 7. Dunlavy takes the Greenie on 14. Dister goes +1 to 26. C.
