Men’s Golf Club

Leisure World Men’s Golf Club played in their second tournament of the month on May 25. Two groups of three flights of variously skilled golfers vied for best net scores (gross score minus handicap), plus two circle holes (shots within a 5-foot radius are rewarded) and two closest to the pin challenges. The Turtle Lake Golf Course is a 1,658 yard 18 hole-par 54 course that has challenges for all who play.

A total of 54 golfers teed off and played 18 holes. The morning was cool and overcast with little wind. The wind picked up late in the morning, and the sun appeared briefly. The greens are in better shape than last tournament, but there are still numerous weed patches causing some inconsistent surfaces. The tee boxes and fairways remain well maintained. Golfers are reminded that they are responsible for their tee box divots and ball marks on the greens. They are asked to repair their own plus one more to keep the course in shape.

Twenty-four of the golfers were net at or under par, plus there were 10 circle holes and 47 birdies. Closest to the pin on the eighth All scores below are net (gross score minus handicap).
