Opto 22's Annual Turkey Trot

 

Well, it’s that time of year again: leaves changing colors, a slight chill in the air, lots of pumpkin pie, and of course Opto 22’s annual Turkey Trot. However, this year it’s 80 deg. F (26 deg. C) in sunny Temecula and not a hint of winter on the horizon.

The Opto 22 Turkey Trot became a tradition in 2000 when Opto 22’s founder decided to put a nine-hole putting green on the property. Originally, the Trot was played individually and the winner would receive a putter. However, starting in 2004 it became a partner game with four different rounds including best ball, best score, alternating hits, and both player’s total hits. At the end of each round the team that has the lowest score wins a pie and anyone with a hole-in-one gets a chance at winning a turkey. In addition, at the end of all four games, the team with the lowest total score, first through third place, receives a cash prize. 

The competition has been rough; Chris Ibbeson, Ron Koss, and Maurice Yan are among the top winners in past years and the ones to beat. Some people practice all year round for the event in hopes to carry home the Turkey Trophy.  This year, many people are neck and neck; you never know who will win until the end. Stay tuned for the results!

And for those of you in the U.S., happy soon-to-be Turkey Day!

 

Thanks for getting to know Opto!
