Lake Merced GC 2023

We had a cool day with overcast skies for a fun round of golf at the beautiful, newly-renovated Lake Merced Golf Course. The new course layout presented a significant challenge with very tight fairways lies and fast, hard-to-read greens. We also had a great time after the round as almost everyone stayed for appetizers, drinks and tall tales.

Thank you to Kelly Park for identifying a Lake Merced GC member to host our club for this event. The course also required us to have two additional Lake Merced GC members play with us as well. A very special thanks to Kelly's friend Mike Moxley for serving as our host and for recruiting two other members, Kevin Logan and Warren Engle, to play as well.

Gift Card Prizes:

In most of our tournaments, we award prizes for the first three places for gross and net winners. We use e-gift cards from Worldwide Golf, which includes The Golf Mart, Roger Dunn Golf, Edwin Watts Golf, Van’s Golf Shops, and Golf Warehouse. They are typically sent out within two week of the tournament.

If you finish in the top three, keep an eye on your email. Also please make sure “Worldwide Golf” is designated as “safe” in your email spam or junk mail system. The cards can be used online or at the listed golf store locations. They don’t expire but we suggest you use them fairly promptly as many have forgotten to use them. If you don’t receive your e-card or have problems with redemption, contact Peter Mankin, Treasurer at pmankin@smlawyers.com.
