Men’s Golf Leagues Results
A beautiful, sunny but cool morning greeted seven members of the Men’s Monday Golf League on Nov. 16 the at the Willowick Golf Course in Santa Ana, a par-70, 6,000-yard, 18-hole course. Good scores were anticipated but did not occur. There were four birdies, but only one score was under par.
All scores are net (actual score minus handicap). A Flight handicaps range from 0-20, and B flight higher than 20.
A Flight Winners: First place: Sam Choi, 2 over 73, plus 2 birdies; second: Gene Vesely, 5 over; third: tie between Fujio Norihiro and Dave LaCascia; fourth: Bill McKusky. LaCascia was closest to the pin on the 140-yard, par-3 12th hole, and McKusky had fewest putts.
B Flight Winners: First place: John Meyer, 9 under 62, with two birdies and fewest putts; second: Bob Munn, 4 over 75.
The Men’s Friday Golf League played at Meadowlark Golf Course in Huntington Beach on Nov. 20. Nine men and one woman teed off into a beautiful but cool morning on the picturesque, nearly 5,600yard course. The sun was out early, and conditions were excellent at tee time. Because the course was misty and damp and pin placements were challenging, low scores did not happen. It was surprising, though, that there were six birdies. Additionally, Jim Goltra and Larry Hillhouse, both of whom were welcomed back after long absences, fared well.
A Flight Winners: First place: Hillhouse, 1 over 72, plus a birdie; second: tie between LaCascia and Choi, 2 over 73. Choi had a birdie and tied with LaCascia for fewest putts. LaCascia also had two birdies; third: Fujio Norihiro, 5 over 76; fourth: Goltra, plus a birdie; fifth: McKusky, plus closest to the pin on the 140-yard, over-water, par-3 seventh hole; sixth: Vesely.
B Flight Winners: First place: John Petersen, 1 over 72; second: Munn, 3 over 74, plus a birdie and fewest putts; third: Keiko Sekino.
