Men’s Golf League

Ten golfers from the Leisure World Men’s Golf League played Sept. 26 at the 4,000-yard, par 62 David L. Baker Executive Golf Course in Fountain Valley. With numerous water hazards and sand traps, Baker is a challenge to play and also entertaining.

The course continues to undergo needed maintenance with some improvements seen in the fairways. Considering the average playing conditions, the course allowed nine rounds at or under par and not surprisingly there were five birdies.

Winners: A Flight: handicaps 0-19—

First place: Dave LaCascia, a splendid 9 under 53, plus a birdie and fewest putts; second: Gene Vesely, a well-played 5 under 57, plus 2 birdies; third: Fujio Norihiro, a nice 3 under 59; fourth: Clay Fischer, a hard-earned 2 under 60; fifth: Chris Lankford, plus closest to the pin on the 120-yard par 3 twelfth hole.

B Flight: handicaps 20 and

over— First place: Tom Ross, a terrific 9 under 53, plus a birdie; second: tie between Bill Zurn (plus a birdie and closest to the pin on the 95-yard par 3 third hole and fewest putts) and Ron Jackson, a very respectable 5 under 57; third: Lowell Goltra, a fine 2 under 60; fourth: Bob Munn, a sweet 1 under 61.

The Monday and Friday Golf Leagues play at four local courses, all within 15-20 minutes of LW. Advance reservations are required 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 in each flight, birdies, closest to the pin on two par threes, and for the lowest number of putts in each flight. Holes-in-one and Eagles (two under par), although infrequent, are generously rewarded. If interested, contact, Gary Stivers, (714) 313-3697, or Dave LaCascia, (801) 674-5975.
