Craig’s Weekend Release Program
For the week of May 3rd thru May 8th
Men’s Club Championship;
Once again the Santa Clarita Valley rivals Mars as the most inhospitable conditions in the known universe. I am really starting to wonder why the founders of this area stopped here. I am starting to think they stopped here to wait out the storm and haven’t left! I am worried about the sanity of all of us that call this place home. We competed our Club Championship among winds that turned trees into toothpicks and sent branches javelining through the air. I honestly found myself in the midst of a discussion about what was better to live through, and earthquake or tornado\hurricane. When that becomes the standard of living, something isn’t right. Lest i digress, we did have a Club Championship this weekend. After our first day of wind we saw Peter Cho and Dean Herrington leading the event. Going into Saturday morning, Chris Chase and Dave Fish finished out the lead group. Saturday showed us a little more mild weather, the wind only gusted to 30 mph. After Saturday’s rounds the final group in the Gross Division was Forrest Blake, Gary Chiurazzi, Joe Millin and Armando Rand. In the Net Division there were only 3 rounds of par or better which were brought to us by John Gedney, Michael Keefe, and Akihiro Komine. Sunday found us with much better weather, but the course had dried out and the greens showed their teeth. In the final round of the Net Division Bill Rose came from behind finishing at 1 under for the event and captured this year’s Championship followed by Ed Aguilar and John Gedney. The Gross Division was truly a battle of attrition. Forrest Blake made a 3 footer on 18 to hold off Eric Findon and Dean Herrington who both had low rounds on Sunday. Thank you to all who came out and participated this weekend. Photos and results will be posted on the website and blog.
