Golf League Results

On Jan. 21, 14 men, one woman and one guest of the Leisure World Golf League played at Riverview Golf Course in Santa Ana. The course has reverted back from its nine-hole modifications to its normal 18-hole configuration after being partially flooded by recent rainstorms. There is still more water than usual, but it is not flowing. Scores were excellent, with seven players at par or under par.

A Flight: First place: Stivers, a well-earned 6 under 64, plus fewest putts; second: LaCascia, a nicely done 4 under 66, plus a birdie; third: tie between Norihiro and Jim Goltra, a good 2 under 68; fourth: McKusky, Sam Choi and Gene Vesely. McKusky was also closest to the pin on the 140-yard second hole.

B Flight: First: Paternoster, a sweet 2 under 68; second: Ron Jackson, 1 under 69, plus closest to the pin on the 100-yard ninth hole; third: Fischer, even par 70; fourth: Sommers, 1 over 71, plus a birdie; fifth: tie between Liz Meripol, Bob Meripol and Lowell Goltra, 3 over 73. Jackson and Lowell Goltra tied for fewest putts.

Playing at Meadowlark Golf Course in Huntington Beach on Jan. 24 were 13 men and one woman. As was the norm recently, the morning was cool and very damp; the sun was welcome when it appeared midround. Scores were higher than normal, with only four scores at or under par.

A Flight: First place: tie between Choi and Stivers, a well-earned even par 70; second: Vesely, 1 over 71; third: Fujio Norihiro, 2 over 72, plus a birdie; fourth: tie between LaCascia, McKusky and Jim Goltra. Stivers also had a birdie, and he and Choi tied for fewest putts.

B Flight: First: tie between Paternoster and Fischer, a wellplayed 4 under 66; second: Lankford; third: Bill Zurn; fourth: tie between Liz Meripol, Munn and Lowell Goltra. Fischer had fewest putts, and Goltra was closest to the pin on the 140-yard seventh hole. The golf league plays at four local courses, all within 15-20 minutes of Leisure World. The courses are always quite full; reservations are available via a sign-up sheet at each round.

There is a prize pool for each round that players are not obligated to enter. Rewards are given in each flight for low net and fewest number of putts, as well as for birdies and closest to the pin on two par-3s. Holesin- one and eagles (2 under par), although infrequent, are generously rewarded. Anyone interested should contact Gary Stivers at (714) 313-3697 or Dave LaCascia at (801) 674-5975.
