Men’s Golf League results

On July 28 nine golfers competed at the 5,600-yard par-71 Meadowlark Golf Course in Huntington Beach.

With the sunny and muggy weather, scores were higher than usual, but there were six birdies: two each by Tim Looney, Chris Lankford and Mark Mallet. Gary Stivers had fewest putts for the round and Larry Hillhouse was closest to the pin on the par-3 seventh hole.

First place was a tie between Looney, Lankford, Mallet and Hillhouse, at 1 under 70; Fujio Norihiro, even par 71, second; Bob Munn, third; Stivers, fourth; tie between Jim Goltra and Bill McKusky, fifth.

On July 31, 12 golfers competed at the 4,000-yard par-62 David L. Baker Executive Golf Course in Fountain Valley. Although scores were very good, there was only one birdie by Larry Hillhouse, who was also closest to the pin on the par-3 third hole. Jim Goltra had fewest putts in the “A” flight and Ron Jackson had fewest in the “B.”

A flight winners: Tie between Goltra and Fujio Norihiro, 4 under 58, first place; Hillhouse, 3 under 59, second; Bill McKusky, 1 under 61, third; tie between Gary Stivers and Clay Fischer, even par 62, fourth.

B flight winners: Jackson, 9 under 53, first place; Lowell Goltra, 7 under 55, second; Tom Ross, 5 under 57, third; Bob Munn, fourth; Daniel Mahoney, fifth.

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, which 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 fewest number of putts in each flight. Holes-in-one and eagles (2 under par), although infrequent, are generously rewarded. For more information, contact Gary Stivers at 714-313-3697 or Dave LaCascia 801-674-5975. — Dave LaCascia
