Men’s Friday Golf

The Men’s Friday Golf played at David L. Baker Executive Golf Course in Fountain Valley on June 26. Eleven men and two women challenged the par 62, 3800-yard course. The weather was cool and overcast but when the sun came it became hot and humid. The course was in fairly good shape and was a challenge to the competitors. Even with the tee boxes all the way back there were many low scores and 5 birdies for this round.

All scores are net (actual score minus handicap).
