Our 2025 tournament launch was played with a slight chill at tee time and ending with very mild temperatures. e scheduled opener consisted of 52 players, which matched our August 2023 event high. e tournament consisted of several new players joining the Jack and Jill family. Our "Regular Scramble" competition was a single ight. We also launched a fourth "Closest to the Pin" hole to our competition with the inclusion of Hole #3 for a team CTP addition. Going forward, this tournament will include two individual CPT holes and two CPT team holes, two on the front nine and two on the back nine. e following posted winning positions for our rst '25 contest: Winning Teams 1st, 50.390, Rich and Bea Brown, Mike and Leigh Tsumura 2nd, 52.239, Terry Lundquist, Sue Jordan, Dennis Murphy and Pat Byron 3rd, 53.754, Ron Brown, Debbie Johnson, Bruce Smith and Eileen Hinrichs 4th, 53.845, Malcolm Grant, Sherry Roberts, Leo Pasco and Peggy Clendenen Closest to the Pin #3, Team #16 Joe Cwirka, Marge Anderson, Ken Kawamura and Bonnie Hinman – 11'4 #5, Women, Susan Connelly – 36'0" / Men, David Bailey – 23'0" #15, Women, Paula ompson – 6'2" / Men, Jim Barnes – 3'5" #16, Team #15 Terry Lundquist, Sue Jordan, Dennis Murphy and Pat Byron – 4'5" e Darwin Award goes to Larry Determan, who transmitted an email with his name stating "there are no forms at the Pro Shop."
