New Honorary Member in Metro Seniors

by

In the 48 years of Metro Seniors we have named 9 previous members as Honorary Members.  We now have a 10th name to add to the list.  Congratulations to Herb Walker from Division 5 who is our newest member.

Herb joined Metro Seniors in 2000 has been a continuing member since then.  In the past 21 years he has served as the President, Vice President, Past President and on the Membership, Tournament, Special Events committees.  He was a director in both Division 4 and Division 5.

He has served tirelessly on all responsibilities and enjoys being a part of Metro Seniors.  He current is a part of the Membership Committee.

Along with John Tumbarello, our winner last year, they both are examples of men we should all try to emulate.  Both are strong leaders and set the best examples of what it means to be a Metro Seniors volunteer. 

Hole-in-One for Gordon Lyons

by

Using a wedge on the 15th hole, playing the forward tees, Gordon Lyons thought as he hit the ball was “just to get it close” It flew, took one bounce and landed in the hole. Can’t get any closer than that! Congratulations. Gordon was playing in the Metro Plus event at Sunset Hills. This was not his first hole-in-one but they are all special. Tell him congratulations next time you see him!

The Last Chance 2-Man Best Ball Pairing List has been posted to the Metro Seniors web site. Or you can click here.

The Pairing List does not have the Team Handicaps or Team Flights yet. This is because all to the results from the 3&4 Sept weekly tournaments have not been posted to Our Golf Stats yet. Hopefully the remainder of the results will be posted today and I will update the Pairing List.
