The Men’s Friday Golf League played at David L. Baker Golf Course in Fountain Valley on Friday the 13th. No black cats were seen, nor were there any unforeseen incidents. Nine men and one woman teed off into a beautiful but cool morning on the scenic, water-hazard-dominated, nearly 4,000-yard Executive Golf course. The sun was out early, and conditions were excellent. With all tees well forward, the course was primed for low scores, and the players delivered. There were 12 birdies and an eagle, and only two golfers were over par.
