The Oregon Coast Invitational was back
in pre-pandemic form last week, as the long-
time golf tournament resumed its count with
the 110th gathering.
For the ﬁ rst time since 1942-45, the 2020
tournament — along with countless other
sports-related events last year — was canceled
because of the pandemic.
But the tournament proved resilient, and
returned to its family reunion-type atmo-
sphere, eight-day tournament this year.
And — other than a slightly diﬀ erent
appearance for the course — last week’s tour-
nament looked much the same as it always
does, right down to the names winning the
championship trophies.
Jon Holzgang, of Columbia Edgewater in
Portland, oﬃ cially defended his 2019 Grand
Champions title — and then some — ending
Saturday’s ﬁ nal match play round after 27 of
the 36 holes.
And longtime Astoria member Jeﬀ Leinas-
sar won the Super Seniors division, now giv-
ing him championships in every men’s divi-
sion (grand champions, junior/seniors, seniors
and super seniors) of the tournament.
Meanwhile, Holzgang’s long drives oﬀ the
tee helped him win ﬁ ve matches in six days,
including a semiﬁ nal victory over Ilwaco
golfer Blake Kukula in Friday’s semiﬁ nals.
In Saturday’s championship round against
Matt Goodman, of Waverley Golf Club,
Holzgang was 3-up after nine holes in the
morning round, then went from 3-up after 13
holes to 7-up after 18. Holzgang pulled away
in the afternoon round, winning three of the
ﬁ rst four holes.
And an Oregon Coast Invitational wouldn’t
be normal without a Mack holding a champi-
onship trophy, as medalist Cappy Mack won
the women’s division with a 4 and 2 victory
over Lisa Poritz, of the Portland Golf Club.

A major name brand hearing aid provider
wishes to field test a remarkable new
digital hearing instrument in the area. This
offer is free of charge and you are under no

These revolutionary 100% Digital

the “stopped up ears” and “head in a
barrel” sensation some people experience.
If you wish to participate, you will be
required to have your hearing tested in our
office FREE OF CHARGE to determine candidacy and review your results
with the hearing instruments with our hearing care specialist.
At the end of this evaluation, you may keep your instrument, if you so
desire, at a tremendous savings for participating in this field test. Special
testing will be done to determine the increased benefits of this technology.
Benefits of hearing aids vary by type and degree of hearing loss, noise
environment, accuracy of hearing test, and proper fit.
This is a wonderful opportunity to determine if hearing help is
available for your hearing loss and get hearing help at a very affordable
price.

Jon Holzgang successfully defended his
Grand Champions title from 2019.
Mack, the Mack sisters have now combined to
win 16 Oregon Coast Invitational titles (Lara
with 11, Cappy at four, and Renee won the
ﬁ rst in 1986). And, along with George Mack
and George Mack, Jr., the immediate Mack
family has won 26 Oregon Coast Invitational
division championships.
In Saturday’s ﬁ nal 36-hole match, Poritz
was 1-up after the ﬁ rst nine holes of the morn-
ing round, the biggest advantage for either
golfer over the ﬁ rst 18 holes.
But Mack won four of the ﬁ rst six holes
of the afternoon round to go 4-up, and Poritz
could never get closer than 2-up, with Mack
ending the match on the 34th hole.
Two-up after 11 holes in the afternoon
round, Mack’s long approach shot on the 12th
hole missed the pin by inches, and she went
3-up.
Jim Parks captured the junior/seniors title
in a close match with Ty Kohler; and Cathi
Barta won the third-ever women’s senior
championship.
Bill Winter also won the seniors division.
