Faculty/Staff Tournament (49th annual)
Poppy Ridge
(Merlot & Chardonnay Courses)
10th Event of 2004 Season
3rd Major Event of 2004 Season
Friday, June 18, 2004

Charles Lee's approach at #3 was where his round started turning golden. After a triple on #1 and a bogey on #2, Charles knocked it close here and drained the birdie putt. It was his only birdie on the day but consistent play over the next 15 holes, with four pars and nothing worse than a double bogey led to his phenomenal 91 (net 60) score. Charles joined the club in 2002 and he picked a good one for his first win.

The 49th Annual Faculty Staff tournament was a flying success, with lots of terrific prizes in the annual raffle and a great dinner at the Poppy Ridge clubhouse, overlooking the course. There were also some terrific scores on this tough course. Steve Desimone shot a 71 (1-under par) to win the coveted President's Trophy (low gross). It marks the 7th time Steve has won the trophy. Steve's 71 also ranked 15th all-time on the lowest recorded gross scores. Cal graduate student Charles Lee shot a blistering 91 (net 60) to win the Chancellor's Trophy (low net). This was Charles' first win, but it was a big one. The Faculty/Staff is our oldest tournament. Charles' score was also extremely good and ranked 4th all-time on lowest recorded net scores. Long-time club member Boyd McCaslin won his first-ever individual major (having once teamed with Bob Desimone to win the 2-Ball in 1986). Boyd shot a net 68 which was the best score posted by someone not affiliated with the university (as Faculty, Staff, Student, or Alumni.). Boyd made the most memorable and profound speech. Upon accepting his trophy he announced that he'd won because he'd received so many strokes. Boyd seemed serious but everyone laughed in spite (and possibly in addition) of this.

In many respects Jim Peretti was playing the role of host at the Poppy Ridge course. After all it's Jim's "home course." Jim was playing in the lead groups and when Steve and Ken (less familiar with the course) asked Jim which hole would be a good CTP hole Jim said the 7th hole on the back nine (Chardonnay) would be a good hole. "It's a nice short downhill 110 yard hole," Jim said knowledgably. Jim received lots of public heckling about this because he was all along thinking of the 7th hole of Zinfandel, which is a shot over a lake. Needless to say he wasn't inspiring much confidence as our course guide.

Last year's winners were Dave Lozow in the President's Trophy (low gross) and Dennis Smith in the Chancellor's Trophy (low net). Neither of our defending champs were there to represent, so it was a wide open field.

Even though he'd vowed never to play Poppy Ridge again, Kelly Alvarez was happy to be at the tournament. This alone says a lot about the terrific day. The weather was perfect. Low clouds kept things cool, in the early morning hours, then the sun broke out and temperature reached 75 degrees. Winds picked up around noon to about 10mph, but nothing too difficult. The breeze actually felt great.

After an abysmal front nine, Aaron had had enough. On the first tee of the back nine he boldly announced to his group "I'm going to bring this course to it's knees....one triple bogey at a time." Jeff Day remarked, "That's what I like about Aaron; He's always got a good sense of humor... even though he's not always funny."

One of the best performances was put in by Jeff Hazel. From the 4th hole through the 16th hole (13 hole stretch) Jeff played at 1 over par. Jeff's index gave him 9 strokes so this was exceptional golf. Unfortunately for Jeff he began this exceptional round by taking a 12 on the 1st hole and a 14 on the 3rd hole, with and capped on the tail end by two double bogies. Jeff's range of success is remarkable. As impossible as it might seem to win a tournament with two double bogies, an octuple bogey, and a decuple bogey on one's card, Jeff at least put forth a valiant effort.

Just as last year, Poppy Ridge provided a very good buffet. The entree was barbeques chicken, which was delicious.

This was our 28th Friday tournament. Over dinner Dan Copenhagen was thinking that an occasional Sunday event would be nice. He'll just have to come to the next board meeting and present that idea...

The Art of Heckling

Steve Sanguinetti was in fine form at the Faculty/Staff. He was at the center of the storm and was berating all comers, especially the club manager and any/all current board members. Steve Sanguinetti rivals Dave Lozow and Rick Guevara for least respectful  (most irreverent) member.

At one point Sanguinetti was heckling Dez about his "hectic" schedule, something like, "You really need a vacation." Steve retorted as he does so well with, "Look who's talking. You've already posted 92 rounds of golf this year." Needless to say both men need vacations, desperately...

Peretti was having a difficult time pulling the winning raffle tickets from the box. Several times Steve and Ken made calls for him to be fired. But even they could tell how much Jim was enjoying being the dispenser of winning raffle tickets. Jim did seem to have a knack for it. If he could just have kept his fingers from fumbling so clumsily at the tickets he would have done an acceptable job.

When Jim won the round of golf at Windsor loud jeers were heard for a "recall." Such jeers were also heard when Dez won the round of golf at Wente Vineyards.

A Shaky Start

Walburg's first official address to the members as club president was shaky at best. Apart from the nervous ticks, wavering voice, and a few outright mistakes, (like Winston Doby winning the blind bogey flight by default) he was ok. In retrospect he wishes he'd settled down and asked for a round of applause for Ken Lloyd, who as our previous president had done such a terrific job (for 16 years!). Also he wishes he'd brought more printouts of past club records so could further bore the audience.

At the end of the day there remained only a few stragglers. Steve Desimone, Jim Peretti, Ken Lloyd and yours truly. Jim Peretti is probably the most enthusiastic Golfer of the Year leader we've ever had. For when the webmaster was making his escape Jim asked when the results would be online, and in particular the updated GOY standings.

Two days prior to the tournament, Walburg received an email from Jeff Day in which Jeff referred to the tournament this year as "the gala event WalburgPalooza." This was in reference to the tremendous amount of work that was poured into the donations campaign for the raffle (820 hand-assembled letters). Indeed Steve announced that it was the best raffle ever. It was a terrific raffle with loads of great prizes, perhaps combined they valued around $4,000. Next year will be our 50th annual Faculty/Staff tournament and coupled with the Men's Golf success we expect 2005 to be another gala event. Perhaps it'll even be the single best tournament the club has ever had! Be ready to sign up extra early for next' year's bash.

Biggest News of All - Cal Wins National Championship!

Perhaps the biggest story of this tournament was something that didn't even happen on that day. The biggest news to hit the UC Golf Club perhaps ever was the Cal Men's team winning the National Championship two weeks earlier. Over the years the UC Golf Club had been one of the most solid supporters of the UC Men's team. Steve didn't have the massive trophy with him, but he said he'd bring it to our next tournament, Tilden Park. There are countless articles written about this epic victory (Cal's first NCAA Championship in Golf) and so details won't be provided here. While warming up on the range members came up one by one to shake his hand. Steve told several stories while trying simultaneously to warm up. He was asked about the round on Friday and the important moments. One was when Jesse Ruda hit a 3-iron to six inches on the 236 yard par three 15th hole. They could hardly see the ball through the rain and fog, but Jesse said, "I think I can make that one." Later on at the 17th hole Peter Tomasulo made a critical 12-foot par putt while UCLA's player took a bogey. But the Bears took the lead after the 8th hole, and after that point Steve was pulling out his hair with excitement.

Just after dinner and before the raffle Mike Armstrong made a small speech to recognize and cheer for Steve and the Golden Bears. One raucous and powerful "Go Bears!" was issued by all the members, it could be heard echoing from the balcony of Poppy Ridge out across the rolling hills of Livermore, and startling inhabitants of several area neighborhoods.

"That's three great Fridays in a row!" said Steve Desimone. It was true. Steve had had three great Fridays in a row.

1. Friday June 4, 2004 - the Men's Golf Team won the National Championship in Virginia
2. Friday June 11, 2004 - Steve was in Philadelphia playing four rounds at Merion Golf Club in the annual Merion Invitational.
3. Friday June 18, 2004 - Steve fired a 71 at Poppy Ridge and won the President's Trophy

 "What are you doing next Friday?" asked Walburg, adding "You should go to Vegas". Steve agreed.

Just who is Charles Lee anyway???

Charles Lee, this year's winner of the Chancellor's Trophy (low net), is a graduate student at UC Berkeley and is a producer and co-host of an award-winning science and technology radio show called "Berkeley GROKS." Berkeley GROKS investigates topics in the world of science and technology, and how they affect our daily lives. Includes reviews of current science, interviews with prominent scientists, round-up of science events in the Bay Area, and a Question of the Week. It airs weekly at Noon on Wednesdays over KALX radio (Cal's Radio Station), located at KALX 90.7 FM on your radio dial. Hosted by Charles Lee and Frank Ling. What is a "Grok? Here's an explanation found on the Berkeley GROKS web site: "Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the 1960's, the publication of a single novel hardly seems notable. Yet, the debut in 1961 of Robert Heinlein's novel, Stranger in a Strange Land, remains a landmark in the history of science fiction. In one sense, it foreshadowed the emergence of a counterculture whose dominant repercussions still resound in the popular mindset. But perhaps more interestingly, it introduced into the lexicon the term "grok." Definition:  grok (grok) v. To perceive a subject so deeply that one no longer knows it, but rather understands it on a fundamental level." Be sure and listen to the show if you have an interest in science!

Photos

Walburg was (again) absorbed with his camera. A new 2 Gig CompactFlash card  boosted the capacity in his new Canon Digital Rebel to 550 high resolution images. 641 photographs were taken at the Poppy Ridge tournament. Combined they total 1,527MB of data. Needless to say, only the best pictures were used (84 made the final cut). Picture taking credits also go out to Kelly Alvarez and Ryan Tabibian.

The Golf

Four raffle tickets to each scorecard. Members knew to place these in safe keeping, for they were part of the post round festivities.

Ken Lloyd has won the President's Trophy several times ('84, '85, '02) as well as the Chancellor's Trophy ('90, '98). Doubtless Ken has more hardware than anyone in the club, except Steve Desimone.

Steve's latest hardware is the 2004 NCAA Championship Trophy. It's more treasured to him than all the other trophies combined. Here Steve tells a story about how Jesse Ruda hit a shot on the 15th hole at the Homestead to about 6". Jesse then said, "I think I can make that one." This was one of the pivotal final moments of the tournament.

Steve speaks with tournament director Lorna Sajak.

Golfer of the Year leader Jim Peretti hits his approach at #1 following a perfect drive. Jim ultimately settled for a rare double bogey.

[Super Size]
Jim blasted out of this fairway bunker on hole #3. Unfortunately he landed in a greenside bunker and settled for a bogey. Following the round Jim asked Aaron, "Did Jeff Day place?," to which he received a head shake and a "no." A few minutes later Jeff tried to trick Jim into believing he'd shot a good round, but Jim didn't fall for it. Neither of the GOY leaders placed, and so the standings didn't change atop the leader board, however Scott Meredith placed first and leap-frogged into third place, 1 point behind Jeff. Bruce Flushman placed 2nd and jumped into a tie for 6th place.

Steve taps in for par on #1. Steve shot a 2-under 34 on the front nine (Merlot), which included birdies on holes #4, #5, and #8.

The lead pack: Jim Peretti, Ken Lloyd, Steve Desimone, and Steve Sanguinetti standing on the tee of Merlot #2. Jim was serving as the guide on his home course and nearly led the party astray.

Steve Sanguinetti makes fun at Jim's expense. It's like shooting fish in a barrel, but not lots of tiny fish, just one big one named Jim. Jim, for his part is a good sport (and a good fish).

Dez with a solid bunker shot at #2. Which led to...

[Super Size]
...this 8-foot putt for par and a sandy.

Steve Sanguinetti and Ken enjoying the weather while leisurely tending the flag.

Jim guides the lead foursome to the next tee (somehow).

Steve's drive on #3. A bogey here was followed up by two birdies. Steve flirted with a 68, but suffered bogies on the final three holes. Nevertheless his 71 was three strokes better than Van Hall's second place finish. And finishing alone in third with a 77 was Mark Northfield (from the second flight!).

Ralph Hill's approach at Merlot #1. Ralph always seems to be on the cusp of pulling off a low gross 'Victory for the Ages.' Here he carded a 39 on the difficult Merlot course (perhaps the toughest of the three nines) and was tied for 4th place. He was also tied for 4th through 12 holes at the Kooman Boycheff Memorial. Ralph performs best under pressure in the big events, and some day, god willing, he'll bust out and pull off such an upset.

Van Hall's tee shot at Merlot's #2. He would par the hole and birdie the next on his way to a 37 on the front nine. Like Ralph Hill, Van is always very near winning a low gross major. Through 12 holes at the Kooman Boycheff Memorial Van stood in second place at 1-over par. He ended up shooting an 81 and finishing 12th, but he was very near perfection. Here at the Faculty/Staff Van again demonstrated near perfection, carding a 74 on the difficult Poppy Ridge course and finishing second only to the Golf Coach of the Year. But Van still gets a feather in his cap for he did win the flight.

Ed Louie hunts down a par here on Merlot #2. Ed had a couple bright spots in an otherwise average day, with birdies on Chardonnay's #2 and #9.

Guest Brian Bent with a swarthy cut at Merlot #2.

[Super Size]
Todd Podoll gets his bearing on Merlot #2. Todd has been having a terrific first season, but this wasn't one of his better performances. Nevertheless he's still alone in 4th place in the Golfer of the Year standings.

Jeff Hazel had one of the best rounds of the day, unfortunately it was sandwiched inside on of the day's worst rounds. Here on Merlot #1 Jeff managed an octuple bogey. After a bogey on #2 he suffered a decuple bogey, at which point he was 19 over par, or an average of a little over 6 strokes over par for each of the opening three holes. At that point most people would have few clubs remaining with intact shafts, but Jeff regrouped and played the next 13 holes at 1-over par. Then having proved himself he disinterestedly completed the final two holes with double bogies. It was a heroic effort and one worthy of a trophy of some sort, perhaps a miniature see-saw.

Here Jeff two putted for his bogey on Merlot #2. The next hole would be played at ten over par, and the next 13 holes after that would be played at 1-over par. Go figure.

Annette Chinn, out for the first time this season, bore witness to Jeff's astonishing play. It was frightful, and perhaps helps to explain her scarcity at our events.

Mark Northfield shot a net 64, the day's second best net score and won the second flight by 4 strokes. He also had the day's closest CTP shot at 8'-5." Mark's 37 on the front nine was most impressive, coming from the second flight and all. Mark had a four birdie round, with three of them coming on the front nine, at Merlot's #3, #6, and #8. The birdie on hole #6 is most impressive, because that's possibly the most difficult hole on the course. Mark's birdie on the back nine came at Chardonnay's 7th hole.

Four guys wondering why the guy is taking so many pictures: Greg Kramp, Saul Geiser, Winston Doby, and Mark Steppan after each of them earned par on Merlot #2.

Winston Doby with a birdie putt on #2. Winston won the blind bogey flight.

Mark Steppan's gesture suggests (2) lip outs over the first two holes.

In the past, Ed Biglin has experienced some back pain. With a swing like his it's not difficult to attribute some of the pain to golf. Of our members, Ed Biglin and Ryan Tabibian have the most extreme follow-throughs.

Kelly Alvarez approached the photographer (see reflection in sunglasses) to show off his new driver. It seemed to work quite well this day. Kelly placed 4th in the third flight.

Dale Steele saw a lot of the course, even parts which aren't meant to be played. Here Dale was (lost) somewhere between the 1st and third fairways.

Perhaps my favorite photo of the lot; Ryan Tabibian on a flowing ribbon of blue, white, brown and green. It's a pretty picture, but Ryan's triple on #4 wasn't so pretty.

But Ryan ended his round on a high note with a birdie here on Chardonnay #9. Ryan's drive was mammoth, and nearly crossed the cart path

Charles Lee watches his approach shot at Merlot #3. As stated earlier, the birdie which resulted from this shot was the beginning of Charles' eventual net 60.

Charles hitting his drive from the plateaus overlooking Chardonnay #3. Charles brought a buddy with him to help caddy. Judging from the results Charles will be bringing this friend to lots of events.

Scott Meredith on Merlot #3. Scott's net 71 won the third flight and catapulted him into third place in the Golfer of the Year standings. Watch out Jim and Jeff; Scott's right behind you (stalking).

Boyd McCaslin on the 7th hole of Merlot. Boyd has been a member of the club for over 20 years and his win today was only the third individual flight he has won. In 1986 he teamed with Bob Desimone to shoot a net 57 and win the 2-Ball Championship. His other two wins are the third flight at Boundary Oak (Kooman Boycheff Memorial) on February 9, 1985 and the third flight at Santa Teresa on February 9, 1991. This was also Bob's first individual flight win on a day other than February 9th.

Clem Shute hitting his opening drive with Bruce Flushman and Mike Hearn in utter disbelief that it was down the middle. Even the cows were in utter disbelief. Bruce had the day's third best net score (66), finishing behind only Charles Lee (60) and Mark Northfield (64).

John Robertson attempting to get the attention of the other members of his foursome. You see, the first tee of the Merlot course is kind of a long way from the clubhouse. John eventually got their attention and they managed to successfully tee off in time.

The starter and a dragonfly watch John Robertson tee off on Merlot #1. John won the Faculty/Staff UCGC Trophy in 1998. In fact, John has won every major except the Eddie Reed and the 2-Ball.

John reacts to a missed 50-foot birdie putt on #18.

But John drained the par putt.

John Haag watches his drive on the 3rd hole of Merlot. John won the third flight CTP with a shot to 20'-2."

Charlie Flowers on the CTP hole, #7 of Chardonnay. Charlie didn't win the CTP but he and Mike Birnbach each shot an 87 and tied for the best gross scores in the third flight.

Charlie's birdie attempt on #18. Had he made the putt he would have placed first in the third flight, but the par still earned him a third place finish. You never know when a single stroke might make all the difference. In this instance it was.

Tom Furtado hitting from the most popular bunker at Poppy Ridge, the large fairway bunker in Merlot #1.

Tom was making an interesting reaction here on Merlot #4. Some reactions are easily interpreted, like a fist pump or a downward-looking head shake, but this was something new and yet uninterpreted. 

Tom preps for his putt on  Merlot #6.

Missing the putt Tom finally made a reaction we're all familiar with. It's OK Tom, only four people birdied this hole.

For the record there were five very difficult holes. I checked to see if any members birdied these holes:

Merlot #1: No birdies
Merlot #6: Birdies by Hazel, Kramp, Northfield, Sanguinetti
Merlot #7 Birdie by Guevara
Chardonnay #6: Birdie by Desimone
Chardonnay #8: No birdies

Tom's statuesque profile on Chardonnay #1. (Yes, on this site we tear people down then build them back up, then tear them down again.)

Again with the statuesque thing on Chardonnay #4.

Tom overlooking the grape vineyards adjacent to Chardonnay's 6th hole. In case you hadn't yet made the connection, all three courses at Poppy Ridge, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Zinfandel, are wines, and Poppy Ridge is surrounded by vineyards, in the heart of Livermore's wine country.

Tom Furtado and Jeff Day on Chardonnay's difficult 6th hole. Only Steve Desimone managed a birdie here, and with the pin placement just on the other side of the bunker, it was a very difficult hole.

Jeff Day on Merlot #6. Jeff didn't have an exceptional day, but perhaps he was saving his best stuff for the Sectionals of the Associate Club Championship. He would be returning to Poppy Ridge 11 days later along with Jim Peretti, Rick Guevara, and Todd Podoll. There would be 90 teams vying for 30 spots in the championship rounds at Spyglass Hill. Our team would shoot 131 and place them one stroke shy of the playoff with two other teams who had both shot 130. Only one of those teams advanced. Nevertheless our team performed admirably.

Making bread using the traditional methods of our ancestors requires hours of toil. Before one can grind the wheat into flour, one has to gather the grain from the field then separate the wheat from the chaff. Here Jeff took the first step in the traditional, time-consuming process by cutting some of the tall wheat grass. Jeff was too impatient to see the process through however, and left the wheat to die in the field while he finished out his double-bogey on Merlot #8. Later in the round he would regret this move, as hunger pangs overshadowed the apathy brought on by his poor play.

[Super Size]
Jeff was also thinking about gathering some grapes for traditional wine-making on the 4th hole of Chardonnay. The wine would provide him some much needed disconnect from the pain brought on by the harsh reality of his poor play. However, after his unsuccessful bread-making venture he thought better of it. Knowing that cold beer flowed abundantly in the clubhouse he hastened his pace of play (but still required an abundance of strokes to complete each hole).

Aaron Walburg failed to break 100...again. His rounds this year have been steady (and ugly): 103, 104, 102, 105, 93, 105, and a 102 at Poppy Ridge. Becoming club president (and building a house) have brought his game to a state of "sophisticated hacking." And we're using both terms loosely.

Buffet & Raffle

Here is a glimpse at some of the prizes from this day's event.

The sign over the scoring table basically said it all. The enthusiasm and shock of winning the NCAA Championships had still not fully been absorbed. It was like a dream and the membership was pinching each other (more than usual) to verify the reality of it all.

Ken and Steve, fueled by beer, worked through the scoring data.

As always, Steve served as master of ceremonies. Mike Armstrong and Jim Peretti were also working hard, well, at least Mike was.

Jim was having a difficult time plucking winning raffle tickets from the box. There were calls for a replacement in manning the task, but somehow Jim managed to maintain his post in spite of the delays caused by his slow-number plucking.

Our members are a (somewhat) patient lot and they were willing to endure the Jim's number fumbling (sort of).

After a while there were cat calls for Jim to be replaced. And who can blame them really?

As always, Steve was also getting on Jim's case. Dean Martin used to say about his friend Frank Sinatra, "It's Frank's world and we just live in it." In Jim's case the saying goes, "It's Jim's world, and Jim just lives in it."-

Finally some prizes make there way to the attention-starved audience. Ted Goode makes out with an early prize.

Ed Biglin, Mike Birnbach and Randy Ballew anxiously clinging onto their raffle tickets.

Ed Biglin accepts his prize from Mike Armstrong.

Mark Northfield wins a dozen balls. Judging from his 77 today, these will last him a long time.

Mike Hearn excited with his prize. Mike was also excited about having played the final three holes at 1-over par (and who wouldn't be).

Boyd McCaslin accepts his raffle prize.

Geraldine Lauro was very excited about her $100 gift certificate to Postrio. Postrio is one of San Francisco's finest restaurants.

Rory McDonough won a Cal Golf shirt. It was a little small for Rory (medium), and Steve apologized for that, adding that he'd have to come see him afterwards about getting a shirt that would fit.

Rory wondered what he would do with the shirt, while Jeff Hazel (and Annette Chinn, discretely) delighted in the spectacle.

Scott Meredith and Mike Birnbach chuckle over more of the mayhem unfolding before them.

Speaking of mayhem, this was Walburg's first address to the members in the post of club president. He nervously fumbled for words and blundered through much of the awards presentation.

The membership was probably wondering where Ken was. How did this guy even get elected?

Boyd McCaslin graciously (over-graciously) accepted his UCGC Low Net Trophy. Boyd's net 68 was the lowest net score by a member not associated with the University as faculty, staff, student, or alumni. Boyd joined the club in 1981 and this was only Boyd's fourth win. Four wins in the 23 years places Boyd high on our list of Honest Abe's. Along with the 2-Ball Championship from 1986, this marks his biggest win.

As if he needed another trophy, here Dez accepts the 2003 award for Most Improved Golfer. In 2003 Steve improved his index at a higher percentage than any other member. His January 2003 index of 2.4 was reduced by 70.83% to 0.7 in January 2004. This 71% improvement marks the highest improvement in 2003. This will probably gather dust behind Steve's recently won NCAA National Championship Trophy.

Steve also won the President's Trophy (low gross). Steve has won this award seven times, with other wins coming in 1982, 1988, 1995, 1999, 2000, and 2001. Steve also has won the Chancellor's Trophy (low net) in 1981.

Aaron presents Charles Lee with the coveted Chancellor's Trophy (low net). This trophy is the club's oldest and dates back to 1967. The Faculty/Staff tournament itself dates back to 1955.

Charles looks good holding that trophy, so we snapped a few more photos.

Unlike the over-proliferation of photos Jim took of himself holding the Kooman Boycheff trophy, these photos were taken by a third party.

OK, one more. This was Charles' first win.

Mike Armstrong confirms his engraved name on this hallowed artifact. Mike won the Chancellor's Trophy twice, in 1986 he shot a 56 (blind bogey) at the Richmond Country Club, and in 1991 he won with a 75 (net 67) at Peacock Gap. Through the 1987 season the Faculty/Staff had only two flights: Low Gross and Blind Bogey, with the Chancellor's Trophy being awarded to the winner of the Blind Bogey flight. Beginning in 1988 the Chancellor's Trophy was presented to the Lowest Overall Net score. The President's Trophy has always been awarded to the golfer with the lowest gross score.

* - Must be UC affiliated (student, staff, or alumni)
** - Low Net for non-UC affiliated players
