LW Golf League Results for Oct. 1 at Riverview Golf Course

Thirteen men and one woman of the Leisure World Golf League participated in the Oct. 1 tournament at the par-70, 5,800-yard Riverview Golf Course in Santa Ana. At the 7 a.m. tee time, it was partly cloudywithcooltempsthatquickly elevated to produce a very warm, humid morning. The greens, tees and fairways are well-maintained, but the course stayed wet until late in the round. The golfers were unable to completely prevail over these conditions, so scoring was slightly higher than usual; only five players were at or under par, but there were five birdies recorded.

All scores below are net (gross minus handicap). The A Flight handicap is 0-20, and B Flight is over 20.

A Flight Winners: First place: Clay Fischer, even par 70; second: Fujio Norihiro, 1 over 71; third: tie between Gary Stivers and Dave LaCascia, 2 over 72; fourth: tie between Sam Choi, Larry Hillhouse and Bill McKusky. LaCascia and McKusky had birdies, and Norihiro scored fewest putts. LaCascia was closest to the pin on the 150-yard, par-3 second hole, and McKusky was closest on the 100-yard, par-3 ninth hole.

B Flight Winners: First place: ChrisLankford,anextremelywellplayed 10 under 60; second: Gene Vesely, a terrific 8 under 62; third: Bob Meripol, a really nice 6 under 64; fourth: tie between Tom Ross, Liz Meripol and Lowell Goltra.

Friends, ladies, spouses and family are all welcome to play and/ or join. The league plays at four local courses, all within 15 minutes of Leisure World. The courses are always quite full, so advance reservations with the league have become the norm, with a sign-up sheet available at each round.

There is a prize pool for each round that players are not obligated to enter. Rewards are given for low net, birdies, closest to the pin on two par-3s, and the lowest number of putts in each flight.
