The old guy had a Hole in One.  It was at Fairwood CC.  Hole #16 170 yards.

His friends write:

"You are obviously proud of accomplishing the rare feat of a hole in one…as you should be. How unfortunate to not have had your “shot” on tape for it would certainly have make its way onto You Tube, Strange Things Caught on Tape or the like. Having spoken to someone who witnessed your “shot” it is lucky for you that there are no pictures on a score card…just the number.

Lucky at the Lake! *updated*

This is the second tournament of the year.  The course is in great shape and ready for the onslaught of the FHGC after last month's warm up.

We recommend that each team keep two scorecards to compare after each hole or at the end of the round.  Signing and attesting your scorecard is official when turned into the scorers.  Please use the conventional number system on the scorecard turned into the scorers.  It can be confusing to the scorers if the scorecard has pluses and minuses and other scratch marks.

Green fees: 
Regular - $27.00; Seniors (62+) - $23.00
Scorekeepers: 
Tom Hoshikawa and Bucky Takisaki
Flight handicaps: 
1st flight - 0-17, odd numbered teams; 2nd flight - 18-36, even numbered teams
KP holes: 
All par 3's
Long drive holes: 
#9 and #16

Capitol City Individual Results

Posted Mon, 04/05/2010 - 7:47pm by jkozu

At the request of some members looking for an edge as to who might get hot at Lake Spanaway, here are the individual scores from Capitol City.  Remember that we all benefitted from playing from more or less the best drive on each hole so the scores are lower.

Capitol City Carnival Results!

Posted Fri, 04/02/2010 - 8:58am by ssakahara

The Board was absolutely right on when we titled this tournament - it certainly was a carnival type atomosphere when you consider the format, scoring, scorekeeping (yup, it was an issue!) and the weather.

Three, yes, 3 teams tied for first place.  And another 3 teams were one stroke off the winning pace.  Some guys are gonna be thinking about that one shot they missed...  A pretty competitive spread for the first tournament of the year as tournament chairman Jim Kozu mixed and matched until he found the right mix for the Shamble. 

It was a carnival in the scorekeepers tent too...

The Board apologizes for the delay in releasing the tournament results.  We had a situation at Capitol City regarding one team who signed and attested an incorrect scorecard.  One hole was recorded as a gross score and not a net score.  So their official scorecard showed a score higher than their correct score.

For the Board that meant a long week in discussion with an analysis of what happened, reference to the Rules of Golf, discussions with a club professional, review of policy and finalizing the results of our long running email discussion.

What did you think of the Shamble format?

The Burning Clubs of Chinatown

If you happened to be driving thru Chinatown in the late 1960's, you actually might have been a witness to this infamous FHGC spectacle. 

New season, new website!

Posted Fri, 03/26/2010 - 1:51pm by ssakahara

Welcome to FHGC 2010!  It's been ten years since the debut of the original FHGC website and lots of things have changed since we first starting using email and the internet to ease some of the burden of running the club.  While "techie cool" to have our club on the internet, it was also kind of boring because the communication only went one way.  Over the winter, the crazy guys of the 2010 Board decided it was time to be like the Mariners and change it up.  So we are pleased to introduce our new FHGC online community!
