EXECUTIVE CHEF/ HAROLD RAMOS

Castrellon,Davis,DeLeon teamuptowinTresAmigos

Gerry Castrellon, Jeff Davis and Robert DeLeon teamed up to win the Tres Amigos Shamble last Friday, shooting a bogey-free 61 gross, 58 net.

“Jeff was our MVP. He hit all four par-3s in regulation on a windy day and birdied three of the four,” said Castrellon.

Davis also dropped a 20-foot eagle putt on #11 to aid the winning cause.

In the Shamble format, the team picks the best drive from all three players, then each finish the hole with their own ball.

Castrellon said he contributed some good drives. His best was a 300-yard plus downwind drive on the #5 par-5 leaving the team 140 yards to the pin. DeLeon also contributed good shots, even though he was playing on a leg that wasn’t 100 percent, Castrellon said.

Gross winners, from left: Gerry Castrellon, Robert DeLeon. Not pictured, Jeff Davis.

“But we had a few wars break out during that time,” Robson said from Florida.

This time she wasn’t deployed, she applied and was accepted.

“I’m cherishing every moment of this. Way more than I did 19 years ago,” she said.
