On April 22, the PebbleCreek Men’s Golf Association (PCMGA) provided a putting contest as part of the Member-Guest tourney.
The putting contest was conducted on the lower putting green at Tuscany Falls. Two holes were set up for the contest. One called “West Course” was 42 feet in length and uphill with a left to right break. The other hole called “East Course” was 59 feet in length and straight downhill with both a slight right and then slight left break.
The contest was optional for members and their guests. Players could play one or both of these courses. For an entry fee of $5, each player had a choice to hit two putts to one of the two courses or one putt to each course. If they wanted to make more attempts on the same course or play the other course, they paid an additional $5 fee for each additional 2-putt attempt. The prize fund included amounts collected from the participating contest players as well as $200 funded by the PCMGA.
The goal was to make the putt, but prizes were awarded for closest to the hole as well.
Prizes were awarded for 5 places for each course.
East course results:
Six holes-in-one were made on the East course. Even though the plan was only to pay 5 places, all 6 shared the East course pot. The six aces were made by Gene Bruening, Jerrod Johnson, Terry Kay, Martin Lopez, Mike McGue, and Steve Temple.
West course results:
Two holes-in-one were made on the West course. One by John Amburgey and the other by Steve Temple. Third place was Michael Simon who was 1 inch from the hole. Fourth place was Martin Lopez who was 5 inches away. Fifth place was Josh Jackson who was 9 inches away.
The PCMGA would like to thank Julius Aquino for organizing this event. He did not do it alone as he had lots of assistance from the following volunteers: Joanie O’Neil, Val Lorenzo, Pam Aquino, Rochelle Zuckerbrow and Dawn Anthony.
