On June 9, 2014, seventy-seven of the finest seniors from the LAFD Golf Club met at the beautiful Montebello Golf Course to decide who was the top senior golfer in the club. On a magnificent 80 degree day in the San Gabriel Valley, we had nine golfers post scores in the 70’s. Successfully defending his title this year is our repeat champion Andy Zar shooting an even par 71. He was followed by two who shot 73’s – Klasse and Faulkner. The 73 by Klasse was noteworthy because he shot his age. Great job Gary! Andy will represent us at the SCGA Senior’s Tournament of Champions in December.
Taking the Low Net honors this year and also defending his title is Jim Sanchez. Jim shot a gross 76 minus his 11 handicap which gave him a 65 for the tournament. Great job Jim! Jim will represent us in the SCGA Net Senior’s Tournament of Champions in December. Congratulations guys!
It was great to see our octogenarians again this year: Jesse Lea at 89 years young, Don Hibbard at 86, Tom Harrison at 85 and Jim Chatterton at 82. Can you believe all of these guys are 22 and under handicaps? Adding to our super senior’s group is Bill Rose and Gene Allen. We hope to see you back for another tournament in 2015.
Our youngster this year was Eric Anderson at 50. Welcome to the Old Guys club.
I’d like to thank Kevin Wright, a Financial Advisor for Morgan Stanley, for supporting our tournament again. ProV’s this year. We do rate. Thanks Kevin.
A big thanks goes out to the LAFDGC board for their continual support. Thanks Guys.
A special thanks goes out to Tom Camacho and his staff for a job well done. Tom also donated a foursome and a putter. Thanks goes to Wes Shundo for helping secure the donations.
Congratulations to all of our winners. See you next year.
