Courtside Camaraderie The recent Men’s and Women’s Doubles Club Championships scored big with members of all ages. ➳ “This year was the first time that OCC held the Men’s event, and we included the first-ever Women’s Doubles Club Championships,” said Ashley Caro, who helps organize the volleyball events. And Alaka‘i Todd, is grateful for the support and camaraderie he finds at OCC. “The Club is a truly special place to play, given the rich history that this court and Club embody. It’s always a humbling experience to participate in these tournaments, and I deeply appreciate everyone who helped make this event possible. Winning the tournament felt like contributing a small chapter to the storied legacy of OCC. Mahalo to everyone who came out and cheered us on!” Men’s Doubles Club Championship Winners First Place: Alaka‘i Todd and Kyle Poppinga Second Place: Kiran Costa and Stewart Chong Women’s Doubles Club Championship Winners First Place: Kaitlyn Malaney and Ella Deuchar Second Place: Kassidy Chun and Emi Erickson
Embracing Tradition and Innovation There’s a renewed presence of OCC Golf, thanks to the Golf Committee. ➳ The revitalized OCC Golf Committee, led by Chair Matt Gilbertson and his 10-person committee, have been hard at work this year. Members have seen a full slate of fun and competitive golf events at courses across the island, and quality social gatherings that bring OCC golfers and friends together. This year’s surge in energy can be attributed to the new “The Player’s Club” (TPC) membership program. As a TPC member, OCC members can play regularly and invite their family, spouses and even golf buddies to join them. Aside from recognizing our best golfers, the OCC Golf Committee is equally dedicated to fostering friendship, camaraderie and good sportsmanship among players of all skill levels. Whether you play once a year or become a regular TPC member, we welcome you all to join our golf outings and activities! Watch the OCC Enews for updates, or for more information email the committee at golf@outriggercanoeclub. com.
