2024 President's Cup Champion:
David K. Chung!
On Aug. 31, journalist Dave Chung (L) edged Ryan Babbush (R) 2 & 1 in a tight 18-hole final amid sunny, breezy conditions at Penmar golf course. Larry Cloud (C) served as referee. The pair was tied after nine holes. Ryan, a physicist, nearly made eagle on the 10th hole on No. 1 to go 1-up, but Dave came back by taking the 11th, 13th and 15th holes to capture his 2nd President's Cup in five years. Warm congrats go out to Mark Dias and Brian Wolf as semi-finalists of the 64-draw handicap-based tourney!
