LW Men’s Golf League

Nine Leisure World Men’s Golf League members played at the 5,600-yard par-71 Riverview Golf Course on April 12.

Six golfers scored net under par and there were birdies by Bob Munn and Clay Fischer.

Sam Choi was closest to the pin on the 150-yard par-3 third hole, and Fujio Norihiro was closest on the 110-yard par-3 ninth hole. Sam Choi had fewest putts in the A flight, and Bill McKusky had fewest in the B. A special “greenie” challenge was held on the 140-yard 14th hole that was achieved by Gary Stivers, Munn, and Choi.

A flight winners (handicaps of 0-19): Choi, 7 under 64, first place; Norihiro, 3 under 68, second; Stivers and Dave LaCascia, even par 71, third; Chris Lankford, fourth.

B light winners (handicaps over 19): McKusky, 11 under 60, first place; Munn, 10 under 61, second; Fischer, 7 under 64, third; Gene Vesely, fourth.

Eleven members played at the 5,600-yard par-71 Meadowlark Golf Course in Huntington Beach on April 15.

Muddy areas and runoff collected more than a few golf balls, and several were never to be seen again. Hence, scores suffered, and only three golfers achieved net at or under par. There were, however, three birdies—one each by LaCascia, Jim Goltra and Choi.

Norihiro was closest to the pin on the 120-yard par-3 seventh hole, and due to head-on wind, no one achieved that goal on the 140-yard par-3 16th hole. Goltra had fewest putts in the A flight, and Vesely and Steve Miller tied for fewest in the B.

A flight winners (handicaps of 0-19): Lankford, 3 under 68, first place; Norihiro, even par 71, second; Goltra and Fischer, third; Choi, fourth; LaCascia, fifth; Stivers, sixth.

B flight winners (handicaps over 19): Miller, 2 under 69, first place; Munn, second; Vesely third; McKusky, fourth.
