It's Only A Number
Gerry Simoni fired a 69 to win the Championship Flight of
the SCGA Tournament of Club Champions - for 2004, just like he
did in 1977! There were five champions in the President's Flight
and Dennis Chance copped the vice President's plate. Also
included is our annual list of club champions from around the
SCGA. More.

The Buddy System
Friends for several years, Santa Claritans Tucker Brown
and Brad Uptgraft played as a team for the first time and
qualified for the SCGA Four-Ball Championship a The SCGA Golf

last hole, enough for one-stroke victory. More.

They're Back
Joanne Lee lost the state high school girls individual
championship last year by bogeying the playoff hole. She made
the winner's circle this year in regulation, as Grace Woo of
Burbank was runner-up the second day in a row. Torrey Pines
bounced back from a regional loss to win the state title at Red
Hill CC. More.

Championship. Now, at 80, his considerable energies are directed
toward young golfers at the Tregnan Golf Academy in Griffith
Park. More.
