Day 2 of PAGC’s Monterey getaway…
Poppy Hills welcomes you to put the busy world behind you and surround yourself in nature. Each uniquely crafted hole is chiseled through the towering Monterey Pines of the Del Monte Forest, offering sneak peaks of the beautiful and iconic Monterey Bay and a chance to watch playful young deer among the freshly sprung California Poppy. It’s is a beautiful, lush, hilly course with a lot of quirk and intrigue.
Event #1: Saturday, July 26 - Bayonet & Blackhorse (Bayonet Course); Tournament format will be a 4-Man Shamble Front 9 AND Best 2-Better Ball Back 9 (record the best 2 of 4 scores as overall team score). So gather up your favorite 4-some and I hope to see the usual suspects out there!
Event #2: Sunday, July 27 - Poppy Hills; Tournament format will be Individual Net Max Score. Once (or IF) you reach double bogey net score on each hole, pick up and move on! Remember, you're on your own for round 2!
Format: Individual Max Score

GOLD: Anthony Tran turned in a very impressive 2-over gross score on a very difficult, high rated course, for a net score of 69 to keep his playing partner, Tim O'keefe, in second at 71.
SILVER: Patrick Bealieu edge out Randy Shirbroun after tying for 1st place with both netting a score of 68. Patrick edged him on the tie breaker with a 1-stroke better back-9 score.
BRONZE: Jordan Hines is the ultimate gaslighter; I saw him warming up on the range and he convinced me that his swing was all over the place. So what does he do? He wins his flight by 4 strokes with a solid net 67!
PEWTER: One of the club favorites, Tim Schleiger pulls up in the parking with a carpool full of players. And what does he get in reward? First place with a net 71 in this ultra-competitive flight!
Lone CTP hole for the day on #15 was captured by Lou Sehl hitting his tee shot to 11' 2".
And last, but definitely not least, the 2025 Monterey Extravaganza Weekend Warrior Award goes to...Patrick Bealieu!! After contributing to the winning team at Bayonet AND winning his flight with a tie-breaker, Patrick holds off Jordan Hines (2nd in team, 1st in individual).
Here are the TOP 5 finishers: Beaulieu, Patrick - 110Hines, Jordan - 99Tran, Anthony - 85Kusuma, Leo - 74Olsen, Jonas - 72
