Golf League Results
The Men’s Monday Golf League played at the Meadowlark Golf Course in Huntington Beach on Oct. 5. Eight men challenged the par-70, 5,800-yard, 18-hole course. With lots of water hazards and tree-lined fairways, accuracy and club selection were particularly essential. Although you could still see Venus in the sky, the morning started with pea-soup fog that barely allowed players to see where a golf ball was going, never mind where it ended up. The skies cleared eventually, but the course stayed misty, and the greens were heavy with dew throughout the round.
A Flight Winners: First place: Fujio Norihiro, 68, plus 2 birdies and tie for fewest putts; second: Gene Vesely, even par 70; third: Sam Choi, plus tie for fewest putts; fourth: Bill McKusky; and fifth: Dave LaCascia.
B Flight Winners: First place: John Meyer, 1 over 71, plus fewest putts; second: Bob Munn; third: Bill Zurn, plus closest to the pin on the 140-yard, par-3 seventh hole.
The Men’s Friday Golf League played at Santa Ana’s Willowick Golf Course on Oct. 9. Eight men teed off on the picturesque, par-71, 5,800-yard course. The weather was overcast and cool at 7 a.m., and the sun never came out. The grounds were in good condition, but the dampness and cloudy skies led to only two under-par rounds and one birdie. There was, however, a rare hole-out from the fairway for an eagle (2 under) by John Petersen on the 286-yard, par-4 16th hole.
A Flight Winners: First Place: Bill McKusky, 2 over 73, plus fewest putts and closest to the pin on the 150-yard, par-3 seventh hole; second: Dave LaCascia, 3 over 73, plus closest to the pin on the 150yard, par-3 fourth hole; third: Gene Vesely; fourth: Fujio Norihiro.
B Flight Winners: First Place: John Petersen, 3 under 69, plus the eagle; second: John Meyer, 2 under 69, plus a birdie and fewest putts; third: Bob Munn; fourth: Tom Ross.
