Footnotes of Distinction:
Four Play! Mike “M&M” Miyasaki’s second shot on hole #7, the 516 yard par five, landed on the green! He then proceeded to four putt for a boogie! He still managed to shoot even par on the front nine. Leslie Lew missed a 4” put on hole #17. What?!!! No one ever misses a 4” putt in golf!!! Al Lum had quads on hole #8, a par 3, and hole # 14, a par 5. Playing to a 19 handicap, he still managed to card a 90!
Money Player! Gil “Aloha Kid” Ishizu won three Net Skins. He did this while shooting a 116 with a 24 handicap for a net 92!
The Domination Continues! Michael “The Dominator” Ha continues to dominate in every tournament he enters.
Range Finders! OCAAGA has approved the use of range finders with slope! The hope is that this will help speed up the game. However, it may slow it down for those who need to figure out how to use it!
