Eleven golfers competed at the 5,800-yard par-70 River View Golf Course in Santa Ana on July 14.

This course continues to remain in excellent condition, even through the COVID years when it didn’t close and adapted to the restrictions placed on all outdoor activities.

Weather was cool and initially overcast. The sun showed up at the turn and it became a warm morning. Scores were generally good with great conditions and OK weather. There were only four birdies—two by Jim Goltra, and one each by Chris Lankford and Clay Fischer. Goltra and Gary Stivers had fewest putts for A flight and Tom Ross had the fewest for the B. Stivers was closest to the pin on the par-3 second hole and Fischer was closest on the par-3 ninth.

A flight winners: Goltra and Lankford, first place; Stivers, second; Fujio Norihiro, Sam Choi and Larry Hillhouse, third; Fischer, fourth.

B flight winners: Bill Zurn and Ross, first place; McKusky, second; Bob Munn, third.
