Men’s Golf Club

The Men’s Friday Golf Club played at Meadowlark Golf Course in Huntington Beach July 31. Ten men and one woman tested the par 70, 5800-yard course. The weather was overcast early; when the sun came out, the wind rose making the last few holes extra challenging. The grounds are in particularly good shape, and the greens, well taken care of. With a few large water hazards and smaller, rolling greens, course conditions were ripe for excellent scores. Not surprisingly, there were seven birdies, but only three sub-par rounds. Meadowlark has lovely tree-lined fairways and numerous elevation changes adding to the challenge.

All scores are net (actual score minus handicap).

A Flight Winners:

First Place: Jim Goltra, 6 under 64 plus 3 birdies and closest to the pin on the 130-yard par 3 seventh hole; second: Dave LaCascia, 4 under 66 plus 2 birdies and closest to the pin on the 150-yard par 3 sixteenth hole; third: Bill McKusky; 1 under 69 plus 2 birdies; fourth: Sam Choi and fewest putts for A flight; fifth: Fujio Norihiro.

B Flight Winners:

First Place: John Meyer, 3 over 73 plus tied for fewest putts for B flight; second: Lowell Goltra, 5 over 75 plus tied for fewest putts for B flight; third: Bob Munn, fourth: Gene Vesely.
