Favorite golf moment: Scoring one of his three career hole-in-ones
on the 225-yard seventh hole at Los Angeles Country Club in 1991
during a Santa Ana Country Club board of directors’ outing. He used a
3-wood. Johnson’s other aces have come at Santa Ana -- on the par-3
second -- and at Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course in Irvine.

Johnson; three grandchildren.
Noteworthy: Founding chairman of Santa Ana’s member/member
tournament, which he and partner Ron Hurtt won for the first time
Oct. 8-9. Johnson and Hurtt came from behind to shoot 10-under-par
net, clinching first place by two-tenths of a stroke. “I thought
10-under-par would maybe be good for fifth,” Johnson said. “I didn’t
have any idea we would win the tournament.”
