"COLOR YOUR LIFE WITH ROTARY"

 

The 40th Annual Rotary Classic 

The Rotary Classic Golf Tournament and Fun Day was brought back to Sterling Hills in Camarillo on November 7,2000. The tournament started off promptly at 12:00pm with a "Shotgun" start. The Santa Ana Winds stopped just before the start of the tournament and the weather was perfect for golf. There were about 70 Rotarians and guests in attendance .

Golf ended at about 5:00 pm and the day was topped off with a fabulous dinner and awards banquet. Our chairman Mike Chesser presented the following awards:

bulletGlenn Ricard received an award for the Rotarian that had the most fun for the day!
bulletPaul Gaulke received the  2nd Place Low Net Award. Paul is not only a great Rotary Vice President, he is a good golfer!
bulletBob Klein received an award for the lowest non handicap score "Low Gross" with a score of 78. Most of us "weekend golfers" are advised to keep our daytime jobs, in Bob's case maybe he should get himself a caddie and hit the tour. 
bulletBob Aspinwall received an award for the Rotarian with the lowest score net of Calloway handicap, the "Past President's Cup." Bill informed us that he was able to get away and practice at three courses the week prior to the tournament, including Pebble Beach. Bill, I guess practice does makes perfect!
bulletMark Olson received the prestigious "John English" award for the Rotarian with the lowest score net of handicap. You can see a picture of Mark's award winning swing in the picture below.

The only thing missing this year was the "40th Annual George Ishizuka Putting Competition." George Ishizuka passed away last month, and our condolences go out to his wife Mary and family. 

President John Lehne ended the evening by leading the group in a well deserved standing ovation for chairman Mike Chesser, vice chair Mark Olson and Committee.
