Men’s Golf League Results

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.

On Aug. 4, 10 golfers competed at the 5,800-yard par-70 Riverview Golf Course in Santa Ana. This course has nearly recovered from the destruction caused by the winter rains and is in great condition.

Scores were better than average, and there were four birdies, two by Jim Goltra and one each by Dave LaCascia and Tom Ross. Gary Stivers, Fujio Norihiro, and Goltra tied for fewest putts for the “A” flight and Ross had fewest for the “B.” Closest to the pin on the par-3 second hole was Norihiro and Ross was closest on the par-3 ninth.

A flight winners: Bill McKusky, 7 under 63, first place; tie between LaCascia, Norihiro, Goltra and Clay Fischer, 3 under 67, second; Stivers, 1 under 69, third.

B flight winners: Ross, 5 under 65, first place; Lowell Goltra, second; tie between Bob Munn and Ron Jackson, third.

On Aug. 7, 10 golfers competed at the 5,600-yard par-71 Meadowlark Golf Course in Huntington Beach.
