(Note: Pictures with blue borders can be
clicked on and enlarged.)
Aside from Mark Steppan's blistering 71 gross(68 net), the
scores on this difficult course were not very impressive. Even Steve, our
lowest handicapper, suffered a disappointing 84 gross. Most of the
flights were captured with near-par net scores. Every flight except the
fourth had some sort of tie-breaker involved
Rick Guevara on #7. Rick's net 70 earned him 3rd place in the second
flight.
Rick's approach shot at #6.
Ross Sakamoto on #6.

Eric Kubota watching his putt on #13.
Ram Sharma on hole #4.
Bob Sternbach, Mark Dallow, and Kelly Alvarez on the 6th tee. Kelly's
net 76 was good enough to take second place in the third flight.

Bob Sternbach's putt on #5.
Wente Vineyard's version of Lombard Street paves the way between holes
9 and 10.
The 10th hole, truly a risk reward hole. Doubtless, most wisely went with an iron.
On hole 6 are Mark Boguski, Joel Walburg, Aaron Walburg and Stacey
Mackey. Stacey won the Blind Bogey flight.
Joel on the first hole. A dramatic opening shot.
Joel on #9.
Joel on #10.

At the watering hole, going around the table starting from the left
are: Edgar Johnson, David Lozow, Ross Sakamoto, Eric Kubota, Todd Podoll,
and Rick Guevara. Edgar Johnson nailed the CTP on #11 with the closest
shot of the day at 3"-2".
