Men’s Golf League Results
The Men’s Monday Golf League played Nov. 2 at the Meadowlark Golf Course in Huntington Beach, a par-70, 5,800-yard, 18-hole course. Eleven men and one woman, plus two guests, were challenged by a damp morning and recently aerated/sanded greens. Despite the wet fairways and greens, there were two birdies. However, scores were generally over par.
All scores are net (actual score minus handicap). A Flight handicaps range from 0 -20, with B flight higher than 20.
A Flight Winners: First place: Bill McKusky, 1 under 69, plus a birdie, closest to the pin on the 150-yard, par-3 seventh hole, and fewest putts; second: Sam Choi, plus a birdie and closest to the pin on the 150-yard, par-3 16th hole; third: Fujio Norihiro; fourth: Ron Jackson; fifth: Dave LaCascia; sixth: John Petersen.
B Flight Winners: First place: tie between Bob Munn and John Meyer, 2 over 72; second: Tom Ross; third: Keiko Sekino.
The Men’s Friday Golf League played at Willowick Golf Course in Santa Ana on Nov. 6. Seven men teed off into a beautiful but cool morning on the scenic, water-hazard-free, par-71, nearly 6,000-yard course. The sun came out briefly, and conditions were excellent for the start of the morning’s golf. Since rain and wind were expected later, the clouds rolled in, so the sun was absent for the latter half of the round. As such, most scores were above par, and there was only one birdie.
A Flight Winners: First place: tie between Fujio Norihiro and Bill McKusky, 2 under 69; second: Sam Choi; third: Gene Veseley. In addition to a birdie, McKusky had fewest putts and was closest to the pin on the 150-yard, par-3 seventh hole. Choi was closest to the pin on the 150-yard, par-3 fourth hole.
B Flight Winners: First place: Bob Munn, 4 under 67, second: John Meyer; third: Tom Ross, plus fewest putts.
