Oakhurst C.C.

Our May tournament was a fun outing at the Oakhurst Country Club. This we our first time holding a tournament at this beautiful golf course in the foothills of picturesque Mount Diablo. On this warm day, the wind added to this course's many tough challenges of elevation changes, blind shots, and strategically placed sand traps.

We want to give a special thanks to our wonderful and creative host, Kelly Park.

It is nice to be getting to the end of COVID pandemic. During the last year, most courses prohibited pre- or post-round gatherings. Since we were having a sequential start, our host decided to have a fun start to our round by meeting with each group at the first hole, providing them with course information, handing out our logo golf balls and taking photos. This was a great way to meet and greet our old and new members since we have not been able to spend time close together during the last year. Our host also arranged for us to hang out after the round with beers on the veranda. We also allowed time for each golfer to sign our club's condolence card to the family of our beloved, long-time member Bruce Cornelius.

Our field of 34 players took on this challenging course and, as always, we had a few players who met the challenge of the course and the winds to score well. For the first time in a year, we were able to have closet-to-pin and long-drive contests. Congratulations to our winners:

Thanks to everyone for their cooperation in App scoring. To make it easier, immediately after the round reconcile the paper card final scores with the App final scores and submit the App scores. We always use the handicap strokes calculated by the App. We would like to discontinue having groups send us their paper scorecards in the future.
