Men’s Golf League

Monday Golf

On March 6, 11 golfers attacked the 6,000-yard, par 71 Willowick Golf Course in Santa Ana. Temps were very cold, and foggy with patches of blue indicating perhaps a warmer late morning. That didn’t happen.

Gary Stivers had the fewest putts in the “A” flight and Gene Vesely was lowest for the “B” group. Gene Vesely was closest to the pin and the par 3 second hole.

Clay Fischer was closest to the pin on the par 3 fourth hole, and Bill McKusky was closest on the par 3 12th hole. Birdies were shot by Sam Choi, who had three. Jim Goltra, Clay and Bill McKusky had one each.

Winners: A Flight: First place: Choi, a terrific 6 under 65; second: Stivers, a hard-earned 1 under 70; third: Goltra, fourth: tie between Fischer and Chris Lankford.
