SACRAMENTO INVITATIONAL
MAY 28-30, 2010
The Sacramento Club’s 57th Biennial Memorial Day Invitational
Golf Tournament returned to the beautiful Lincoln Hills Golf Club in
Lincoln, CA. The 36-hole medal play event was played on their Orchard
and Hills Courses on Saturday and Sunday which was preceded by the
Federation Team Matches on Friday.
The Federation Team Matches saw 11 teams participate on the Hills
Course and the Seattle Cascade team was the winner with the Oakland
Club coming in second. The four person team’s best two net
scores was the format used for this event.
Both courses had generous fairways that can put you to sleep, but the
greens were an awakening for most of the close to 100 players as
three-putts and more became the norm on many of the holes. With great
weather on both days, actually three days with the Federation Team
Matches played on Friday, the players could only look forward to the
fellowship and camaraderie on the 19th hole and the excellent socials.
Following the 8:00am shotgun start at the Orchard Course on Saturday,
attendees were treated to a sushi buffet at the Golden Dragon
Restaurant in Roseville. The all you can eat and nice varieties of
foods were enjoyed by all. On Sunday, everyone headed into Sacramento
to feast themselves at the Rice Bowl Restaurant with a tasty Chinese
banquet dinner. Other activities included optional Side Bets with
bookie Steve Vines, the horse race, and great raffle prizes.
A bit of nostalgia was on the evening program as a tribute and
recognition to David Jan was made. With his passage this past year,
David was one of the founding members of the Sacramento Club that was
formed in 1938 which was motivated by the discrimination from local
public courses, and of course, his love for the game of golf. He was
one of the supporters in the forming of the Federation of Chinese Golf
Clubs in 1970 and the Sacramento Club was one of the eight charter
clubs that formed the Federation.
The Federation is now in its 40th
year and to celebrate the occasion, the Federation invited all
Federation past presidents to be recognized for their past service.
(See following article on the Federation’s 40th anniversary.)
Congratulations are in order to the Sacramento Club, President Rocky
Yee, Tournament Director Wei Mao and their committees for a great
event. Great job, guys!
