Men’s Monday & Friday Golf League Results

Monday Golf League

The Men’s Monday Golf League played on Aug. 3 at David L. Baker Executive Golf course in Fountain Valley.

Ten men, and three women challenged the par 62, 4000-yard 18-hole course. As part of the Mile Square complex in Fountain Valley, Baker is a well-attended and well-kept course.

With a lovey morning and the fairways and greens being in great shape the vast majority of the scores were below par including 6 birdies.

All scores are net (actual score minus handicap).

A Flight handicaps range from 0-20, B flight higher than 20.

Friday Golf League The Men’s Friday Golf played at Riverview Golf Course in Santa Ana on Aug. 7. Ten men challenged the picturesque par 70, 5800-yard course.

The weather was overcast early; when the sun came out, it warmed up nicely leading to a number of good scores.

The course is in particularly good shape, and the greens are well taken care of. Not surprisingly, there were eight birdies— an unusually high number and seven sub-par rounds. With the Santa Ana Riverbed running down the middle of the course, numerous elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers, the course challenges all levels of golfers.

All scores are net (actual score minus handicap).

A Flight handicaps range from 0-20, B flight, higher than 20.
