ing to their original conditions. The greens were in great shape throughout.
Scores were generally higher than normal due to the cool and overcast conditions, and the wind made the back nine more difficult. Also, numerous water hazards and sandtrapsaddedtothe challenge of errant or poorly positioned approach shots.
LaCascia and Larry Hillhouse had two birdies each, plus Choi and Norihiro had one. McKusky and Norihiro tied for fewest putts in the A flight, and Lowell Goltra had the fewest putts for the B flight. Ellic Vaden was closest to the pin on the par 3 seventh hole and Norihiro was closest on the par 3 twelfth hole.

The Monday and Friday Golf Leagues play at four local courses, all within 15-20 minutes of Leisure World. The courses the group plays are always quite full, so advance league reservations are required with a sign-up sheet available at each round.
There is a prize pool for each round that players are not obligated to enter. Rewards are given for low net in each flight, birdies, closest to the pin on two par threes, and for the lowest number of putts in each flight. Holes-in-one and Eagles (two under par), although infrequent, are generously rewarded. Those interested can contact Gary Stivers at 714-313-3697 or Dave LaCascia at 801-674-5975.
