RB Men's Executive Golf Club 2008 Club Championship Tournament Results and Luncheon at Bernardo Heights Country Club

Early arrivals await lunch at the Bernardo Heights Country Club after a morning in the fresh air and sunshine at Oaks North Golf Course. The wait was worth it. I opted for baked pecan crusted chicken with fettucini, sun dried tomatoes, red onions, goat cheese and garlic, salad, rolls with butter, dessert, coffee, and a glass of wine.

Pete Wasem proudly describing how he earned his trophy by making a hole-in-one on South Course No. 1 (169 yards) on January 24, 2008, using a four iron. I understand he is having the details, including the names of the attesting witnesses, engraved on the trophy.

Walt Freithaler is in race to become RB Men's Executive Club Champion!


He may be an underdog up against the likes of Pat Turner and Mike Huffman, but my money is on high-flying Walt Freithaler who fired a gross 66 (net 55) in the opening round of this tournament. Walt must have played lots of golf on interesting courses during his former career with American Airlines. Good luck, Walter. If you win, the drinks at the Bernardo Heights Country Club luncheon are on you! Bring plenty of cash.(click on the photo to enlarge).
