Men’s Golf League

Friday Golf

On May 19, seven golfers endured the 6,000-yard par 71 Willowick Golf Course in Santa Ana. The course is not in the greatest condition and scores reflected the issues. Fujio Norihiro had the fewest putts for the round. Sam Choi and Gene Vesely were closest to the pin on the par three fourth hole and Choi was again closest on the par three 12th hole. There were no birdies this round.

A flight winners: Gene Vesely, first place, seven under 64; Choi, second, four under 67; Bill McKusky, third, one under 70; Gary Stivers, fourth, at even par 71; Norihiro, fifth; Bob Munn, sixth; and Lowell Goltra, seventh.

Monday Golf

On Monday, May 22, 14 golfers attacked the 5,800-yard par 70 Riverview Golf Course in Santa Ana. The course has remained in great shape all year except for heavy rains. The weather was overcast, cool and damp, but all the golfers played well with nine of the 12 net under par.

Dave LaCascia had fewest putts in the A flight; Tom Ross had fewest in the B flight. Munn was closest to the pin on the par three second hole and Choi was closest on the par three ninth hole. Choi had the only birdie.

A flight winners: Choi, first, six under 64; LaCascia, second, three under 67; McKusky, third, two under 68; Fujio Norihiro and Chris Lankford tied for fourth place at one under 69; and Larry Hillhouse, fifth, three over 73.

B flight winners: Munn, first, seven under 63; Gene Vesely and Tom Ross tied for a second place at two under 68; Lowell Goltra, third, at a nice even par 70; Digna Vesely, fourth, at two over 72; and Bill Zurn, fifth.

The Monday and Friday golf leagues play at four local courses within 15-20 minutes of Leisure World. The courses are usually 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.

Those interested can contact Gary Stivers at 714-313-3697 or Dave LaCascia at 801-674-5975.
