Vic Caruso Wins Japanese Canadian
Golf Club’s Aug. Tourney With 72
By GLEN KATSUYAMA
TORONTO. The August J.C. Golf Tournament
received the blessings of the weatherman once
again as ideal weather greeted the golfers. In
response to the near perfect conditions the club
members literally ripped the Rolling Hills course
apart as they registered the best scores of the year.
Vic Caruso of “A” flight led the assault with
an even-par 72. Vic is a new member to the club
and we are fortunate to get golfers of his calibre.
Howie Nakamura, President of the club, had his
best round of the year as he shot a superb 75.
Doug Gwilliam, who began the year in “B” flight,
continued to improve with a 77. Other golfers
grouped at 77 were Frank Hatanaka and Shin
Taira and at 78 were S. Takata and Bob Kimura.
In “B” flight, Joe Wani had the low score with

entrants from
Montreal and
Peterborough. There are added
prizes for the longest drives,

Vic Caruso Wins Japanese Canadian
Golf Club’s Aug. Tourney With 72
By GLEN KATSUYAMA
TORONTO. The August J.C. Golf Tournament
received the blessings of the weatherman once
again as ideal weather greeted the golfers. In
response to the near perfect conditions the club
members literally ripped the Rolling Hills course
apart as they registered the best scores of the year.
Vic Caruso of “A” flight led the assault with
an even-par 72. Vic is a new member to the club
and we are fortunate to get golfers of his calibre.
Howie Nakamura, President of the club, had his
best round of the year as he shot a superb 75.
Doug Gwilliam, who began the year in “B” flight,
continued to improve with a 77. Other golfers
grouped at 77 were Frank Hatanaka and Shin
Taira and at 78 were S. Takata and Bob Kimura.
In “B” flight, Joe Wani had the low score with

The next tournament to be
held is the Labour Day Tournament which is a two day affair
and is the highlight of the J.C.G.C. season. It is considered to
be the “Masters” or the “U.S.
Open” of the J.C.G.C. The total
prize value is in the thousands
and the top prize in each flight
is a set of irons valued at close
to $200 per set. There are even
entrants from
Montreal and
Peterborough. There are added
prizes for the longest drives,
shortest drives, and* closest to
the hole. The whole event is high
lighted by a banquet M.C.’d by
Min Hagino at which time the
losers weep in their beers and
the winners look over the prize?
and trophies.
Last year, Dennis Kutsukake
won the I amada Studio Trophy
for low gross and Peter Sasaki
won the Olympia Annual Trophy
for low net. Unfortunately Den
nis is working out of town am
will not be able to defend the
title.
Those who are the top con
tenders for the low net average
(best 5 games) are Bill Nozak;
(B), Doug Gwilliam (A), Frank
Wakida (A), Y. Murai (C) (C),
and Rick Tanaka (C).
