Kangen Water Enagic San Diego County Open Another Success in Golf Tournament’s Second Year

Kangen Water Enagic Golf Club at Eastlake continues to impress as the revamped San Diego area golf course hosts more tournaments and constantly refines the bunkers, greens and tees. Under VP/ COO Neil Finch’s direction, the course recently hosted the Kangen Water Enagic San Diego County Open for the second straight year, with great results.

Finch describes the play as “just as fierce” as last year. David Kim won by shooting 15 under par for the three-day Southern California PGA tournament, which took place from October 12- 14. Last year’s winner, Sahith Theegala, is now playing on the PGA Tour. This championship may serve as a similar launching pad for 25-year-old Kim.

“The greatest thing about all this was that Mr. Ohshiro was able to participate,” Finch says. “He wanted a professional event here and I’m sure he was very pleased.” Kangen Water Enagic’s Founder and CEO couldn’t travel from Okinawa for last year’s event due to COVID-19.

During Mr. Ohshiro’s latest trip to San Diego, where he’s working to expand Kangen Water Enagic’s Global Operations Center (GOC), he did find time to play golf himself. As Finch noted, “For somebody who’s 80 years old, it’s amazing how far and straight he’s able to still hit the golf ball at that age. It’s impressive.”

Kangen Water Enagic Golf Club at Eastlake has a lot to look forward to in 2022. The facility hosts the PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open Pre-Qualifier from January 18-20. The U.S. Senior Open Qualifier follows on May 25. The Southern California Amateur Championships Qualifier takes place also on June 29. Kangen Water Enagic Golf Club at Eastlake has built great momentum, but Finch and Mr. Ohshiro will continue to make improvements. Finch says, “We’re going to continue to try and improve the golf course, not only for the professional events, but also for our everyday customer and Independent Distributors who are welcome to use their E8PA memberships.”
