Friday Golf

After a nearly three-month hiatus due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Men’s Friday Golf League restarted the season on June 5 at the Meadowlark Golf Course in Huntington Beach.

Narrow fairways and sloping greens make this a fun and challenging course. Ten men, one woman and one guest tackled the par 70 course. Because most everyone is mentally and physically out of competition shape, the round was played just for fun and socialization. The course is in exceptionally good shape, and it was a pleasure to play with folks that had not seen each other for a while. Fortunately, all are in good health and surviving the quarantine.

At the start of the round it was cool and still drizzling after a downpour 20 minutes before tee time. That stopped after a few holes, and it warmed up a little, but none of the golfers ever saw the sun.

Golf carts were available at the course for single occupants only or people from the same household.
