Course in Huntington Beach. The ….
Course in Huntington Beach. The weather was initially overcast and very humid. For the first seven holes all the greens were very wet and putting was erratic. By mid-round ,the sun came out making it a hot last half of the round with a rising wind that impacted play on the last three holes.
The course is still being maintained quite nicely with wellmanicured fairways and greens. Considering the very satisfactory playing conditions it was surprising that the course only permitted two of the 11 rounds to be at or under par and but yielded four birdies.
A Flight: First place: Gary Stivers, a very nice 7 under 63 plus 2 birdies; second: Jim Goltra, a well-played 1 under 69; third: Sam Choi; fourth: Dave LaCascia, plus closest to the pin on both the par 3 140-yard seventh and sixteenth holes.
B Flight: First place: a three-way tie between Bob Munn, Lowell Goltra, and Digna Vesely, a hard-earned 2 over 72; second: Gene Vesely, third: Fujio Norihiro, plus fewest putts; fourth: Liz Meripol, with a birdie; fifth: Tom Ross. he Monday and Friday Golf Leagues play at four local courses, all within 15–20 minutes of Leisure World.
