Golf Outing June 6, 2002

From: gedmunds@hawaii.rr.com
Ten members of the class of '67 and two guests took to the links at Olomana today. They were Uson Ewart, Donn House, Stephen Tom, Ken Kaneda, George Ball, Jr. and his son, George Ball III (G3 for short), Bob Filius, Jim Tam, Karen Char, Christine Davis Escobar and husband, Ted and Ginny Ching Edmunds.
The weather was gorgeous and not as unbearably humid as was expected. The golf course itself could use some watering as the ground was hardpan in most places and patches of plain old dirt were not uncommon. But we were there to have a good time at a sport all of us love and to catch up on each other's news.

Following the round, we retired to the clubhouse for beer, pupus and prizes. An interesting aspect of the tournament was the way in which we determined each player's handicap. Loren Shim, who did not play but was very helpful in the planning, suggested we use the Peoria handicapping system which turned out to be great for some of the players and not so good for others. For example, Ginny, who's normally around a 14 ended up with a 24 handicap, and Donn who's normally a 23 ended up with a 3! Congratulations to the following winners:
  • Low Gross with a 77--Jim Tam
  • 1st low net--Ginny Ching Edmunds
  • 2nd low net--Ted Escobar
  • 3rd low net--Steve Tom
  • 4th low net--Ken Kaneda
A big mahalo to Karen Char and John Childs & Co. for providing each player with golf balls and tees. And many thanks to everyone who played, especially Donn, George and Ken who came all the way from the mainland to play a round of golf with their classmates.
