2010 Q4 KMI/AMI Alumni Golf
12/11/10

The 4th. Qtr. 2010 KMI/AMI Alumni Golf  was held on 12/11 at the Poppy Ridge Golf Course in Livermore, almost an hour drive to northeast from San Jose and operated by NCGA, The Northern California Golf Association. There were many rainy days recently but it was a perfect golfing day without rain nor strong wind though it was foggy in the morning (cleared in the afternoon). It was not cold also at the highest temperature of around 65F. Only 6 members including 2 ladies have enjoyed the day, as K. M. Shim couple were in Korea and could not join.


At the 1st. hole tee ground (Left to right) : 
D. I. Cho, T. H. Lee, K. R. Choi, Jane Cho, Mrs. T. H. Lee, W. K. Chang.


D. I. Cho achieved two Closest to the Pin at  #3 (171 yards) and #11 hole (150 yards). Mrs. T. H. Lee dropped the ball to the Closest to the Pin at #7 hole (124 yards) and the last PAR-3 hole, #16 hole (84 yards) Closest to the pin went to Jane Cho. K. R. Choi got the Longest Drive Award, as all other players' balls went to rough, out of fairway.

 
W. K. Chang was the Medalist of the day hitting 89, the lowest score among players. 
(Unfortunately, he could not repeat 7 over PAR score he made during 2nd Quarter Tournament.)


Today's Champion was Mrs. T. H. Lee. Unfortunately, we have not prepared a lady's trophy and she had to take a man's trophy. There are four quarterly champions now in 2010 : 1Q -D. I. Cho, 2Q - W. K. Chang, 3Q - K. R. Choi and 4Q - Mrs. T. H. Lee, and we will have final play-off among these 4 Champions for 2010 Championship when we play 1Q 2011 tournament, and if Mrs. Lee wins, we will prepare a lady trophy to present her. 


After the play, we had Awards Presentation at the club house and spent about an hour chatting about today's play. Thereafter, we drove back to San Jose and had a nice dinner at Four Seasons, a Chinese restaurant in Cupertino, which was paid by K. R. Choi as the winner of the Longest Drive unexpectedly, as all other players were kind enough to send balls to rough at the #14 hole tee, the PAR-5 Longest Drive hole.

After the dinner, we moved to nearby McDonald Hamburger house and chat for a while again taking coffees as it was little too early to say good night. There, C. W. Kim couples joined together driving almost 30 min. from home in response to W. K. Chang's cell. phone call.

We were lucky without rain while there were so many rainy days from late November this year and 
every one really enjoyed the day of golfing as well as chatting.
