Men’s Golf League Results

The Men’s Golf League did not venture out May 30 because of Memorial Day, but the players expressed their deepest gratitude to the servicemen around the world, especially to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

On June 4, the Meadowlark Golf Club in Huntington Beach welcomed 11 men and one woman. Meadowlark clocks in as a par-70, 5,800-yard course with narrow, tree-lined fairways; tricky elevation changes; strategically placed sand traps; and ominous water hazards. The greens and fairways were in good condition, and at tee time, the weather was overcast with no wind, but by mid-round, the sun was out and the wind came up, which made the last four or five holes challenging. There were only six rounds under par and only three birdies.

All scores are net (actual score minus handicap). A Flight handicaps range from 0-20; B flight is higher than 20.

A Flight Winners: First place: Clay Fischer, a very nice 6 under 64; second: tie between Sam Choi and Jim Goltra, 3 under 67; third: Fujio Norihiro, 2 under 68; fourth: Gary Stivers, even par 70; fifth: tie between Bill McKusky and Larry Hillhouse, 1 over 71; sixth: Dave LaCascia. Goltra and Hillhouse had birdies, and Stivers had the fewest putts.

B Flight Winners: First place: tie between Bob Munn and new member Ron Sommer, 3 under 67; second: Liz Meripol, 1 under 69; third: Tom Ross, 3 over 73. Munn had fewest putts and a birdie.

In general, masks are required at the pro shops, but are optional while waiting to tee off. No masks are required on the putting greens, driving range or the course itself. Social distancing is observed, and there is no contact with others’ equipment. Golf carts are single person only unless riders are from the same household.

LW Men’s Club membership is not required, and friends, ladies, spouses and family are all welcome to play and/or join. There is a prize pool for each round that players are not obligated to enter.
