IRVING — The Wednesday Travel League celebrated “Shark Week” with a shark-themed event at Rose Brook Golf Club.

In a tribute to the movie “Jaws” and it’s 50th anniversary, golfers were informed prior to teeing off that “The Beaches are Closed.” Any shot that landed in a sand trap was allowed a free drop out of the trap, no closer to the hole.

Josh Hilliker shot a new league course record with an even-par 72, breaking the previous record of 74, held by Robert Calph. Ed Tofil finished second with 75, Jeff Nelson was third with 76 and Joe Michalski shot 79. Playing as an amateur, 12-year-old Carter Crabtree shot 85 to tie for eighth place overall. Tofil and Nelson led the front nine with 38s and Hilliker led the back nine with a 2-under par 33.

Hilliker won the “Great White Shark” A Flight, Dave Franklin won the “Tiger Shark” B Flight and Pat Weaver won the “Hammerhead Shark” C Flight. The low round by a senior was shot by Tony Destro. The winner of the Bruce “Java” Chrabasz Commissioners Award was Gary Hazelton.

Untied birdies were recorded by: A Flight — Hilliker (Nos. 1, 2, 5, 10 and 17), Tofil (No. 4), Dave Wallace (No. 16) and Calph (No. 18); B Flight — Phil Hopkins (No. 3), Jaime Galarza (No. 4), Franklin (No. 9), Jack Hood (No. 11), John Waterman (No. 13), Mike Willoughby (No. 15) and Tim Walawender (No. 17); C Flight — Weaver (Nos. 1 and 18), Jim Ellman Sr. (No. 5), Don Kujawa (No. 8), Lenny Leszkowicz (No. 10) and Bob Kujawa (No. 16).

Closest to the pin were: Galarza (No. 4), Tofil (No. 10), Waterman (No. 12), Bob Kujawa (No. 13) and Wallace (No. 16). Winners of the Steeplechase were: Tofil (A Flight), Franklin (B) and Bob Kujawa (C).

Winners of the special Shark “Fin” contest (most 5s on the scorecard) were: Mick Dunning Sr. (A Flight), Rob Szach (B) and Pete Pinkoski (C). Winners of the “Jaws”-themed awards were Frank Benamati (Captain Quint Award); Kenny Kaus (Chief Brody Award), Tommy Sacilowski (Matt Hooper Award) and Tom Destro (Mayor Vaughn Award — for being the only golfer who wanted to keep the beaches open).

Top point winners were: Hilliker (73), Tofil (52), Wallace and Galarza (42 apiece), and Bob Kujawa (28). Season points leaders (through 14 events): 1. Hilliker (301), 2. Tofil (267), 3. Calph (264), 4. Waterman (216), 5. Franklin (186), 6. Leszkowicz (177), 7. Sacilowski (172), 8. Wallace (135), 9. Bob Thompson (126), 10. Jeff Marsowicz (124).
