The June tournament was played in absolutely pristine weather conditions. The 8 am tee time weather was 66° and gradually increased to 87° with a slight wind at the conclusion of the tournament. There were 36 golfers vying for first place position in the two flights in the "A & B Format" competition. A spirited event with competition centered around the "B" Flight, with 1st and 2nd place positions separated by a mere 0.972 strokes. When recapping their play, the second place "B" team surely will be taunted by the putt that failed to drop. When play was over, the following posted winning positions for the contest: Winning Teams "A" Flight • 1st: 47.853 - Terry Lundquist, Sue Jordan, Rich and Bea Brown • 2nd: 49.457 -Bob Miller, Debbie Johnson, John Hoetker and Vicky Cornille • 3rd: 49.659 - Randy Meyer, Annette Lalicker, Leo Pasco and Peggy Clendenen "B" Flight • 1st: 43.225 - John and Jenny Funke, Dennis Murphy and Pat Byron • 2nd: 44.197 - Malcolm Grant, Sherry Roberts, Dan and Sheryl Beamish • 3rd: 49.829 - Jerry and Pat Caldera, Mike and Leigh Tsumura Closest to the Pin #5 Women, UNCLAIMED / Men, Malcolm Grant – 42'0" #15 Women, Sheryl Beamish – 17'4" / Men, Bob Miller – 8'5" #16 Team #18, Terry Lundquist, Sue Jordan, Rich and Bea Brown – 9'5" DARWIN AWARD: Team or Person: Bob Miller, Debbie Johnson, John Hoetker and Vicky Cornille Issue: Incorrectly recording drives for players making it impossible to ascertain if a player exceeded the 9-drive maximum for 18 holes.

See ya on the links! June Winners 36 | THE COLONY NEWS | AUGUST 2024 | Jack & Jill By Dennis Murphy, 951-461-0457 Ladies Golf By Judy Lebovitz, 951-461-0065 I can't believe it's August already. It seems like it got very hot so early this year. Our Back Niner chair, Lori Dalfonso, hosted a Meet and Greet to give some new residents who are interested in playing golf the chance to learn about our club and what we do. Fourteen prospective golfers came in addition to our regular membership. We enjoyed delicious refreshments and the opportunity to get to know one another. Our July luncheon was very nice. The second quarter ringer money was awarded, and Debbie Johnson was Ace of the Month for June for low handicaps, and Pat Bailey for the High Handicaps. Congratulations to all the winners. Beginning in August, our club will welcome one new member, and there are two other prospective members who are thinking about joining. We have a great club with enjoyable tournaments each week for both the 18 hole and back nine. Our monthly lunch meetings are informative, fun and sociable. We hope you will consider joining us. To do so, contact Peggy Clendenen at 951-696-2169. We hope to see you on the links! We hope everyone enjoyed the Bocce Brunch put on by Vanessa Rogers and Randy McKee, and Dave Matteucci was our bartender. Lots of good food and fun and some good bocce games also. Our games are fun and enjoyed by all ages, so age is NO excuse! You don't have to play to enjoy Bocce, we have tables and chairs and umbrellas and usually a breeze to keep us cool. Everyone is invited to come play or just come watch and socialize. Feel free to bring a snack and a beverage of your choice or just yourself. We always have water and ice available. PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE: It's now 5 to 7 pm. Bocce By Jeanne Bender, 949-295-5412
