Men’s Golf League Results Oct. 28

Friday Golf

Eleven golfers from the Leisure World Men’s Golf League played Oct. 28 at the always challenging 5,800-yard, par 70 Riverview Golf Course in Santa Ana. Riverview has a large golf practice facility and a huge putting green. Their snack bar is always open.

This week the weather was sunny and very cool (50 at 7 a.m. tee time) for the round with no wind.

The fairways seemed to be cut extremely short, but the greens are well kept. With recent green aeration and sanding, putting was a challenge. With the below average conditions, the course allowed just three of the 11 golfers to shoot net below par. Sam Choi and Dave LaCascia were closest to the pins on the twelfth and fourth par 3’s respectivally. Gene Vesely had the only birdie.

Winners: A Flight (handicaps 0 -19) First place: Gary Stivers, a well-played 4 under 67, plus fewest putts; second: Clay Fischer, a very nice 1 under 70; third: Sam Choi; fourth: tie between Fujio Norihiro, Dave LaCascia, Bill McKusky, and Larry Hillhouse.

B Flight (handicaps 20 and over)

First place: Gene Vesely, an excellent 1 under 70; second: Bob Munn, a nice 1 over 72; third: Lowell Goltra, plus fewest putts; and fourth: Digna Vesely.

The Monday and Friday greens Golf Leagues play at four local courses, all within 15-20 minutes of Leisure World.

The courses the group plays are always quite full, so advance league 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 by calling 714-313-3697 or Dave LaCascia by calling 801-674-5975.

There was no golf on Nov. 7 due to rain.
