LW Men’s Golf League

Due to a scheduling conflict, 11 members of the Leisure World Men’s League started their round at David L. Baker Executive Golf Course at noon on July 20, rather than 7 a.m. The temperature was in the upper 80s, and the high humidity made it seem warmer.

Baker is a 4,000-yard par 62 course that has abundant water hazards and numerous sand bunkers. Seven of the 11 golfers scored at or below net par, with a few low scores. There were six birdies—two by Clay Fisher and one each by Gary Stivers, Jim Goltra, Kyle Van and Steve Earl. There were four closest to the pin challenges which were won by Van on Nos. 3 and 15, Randy Massaro on 10, and Stivers on 15. Stivers, Goltra, and Bob Munn had fewest putts for the round.

A flight winners (handicaps of 1-19): Stivers, first place; Van, second; Fisher, third; Goltra, fourth; Sam Choi, fifth; Earl and Bruno Santillo, sixth; Chris Lankford, seventh.

B flight winners (handicaps of 20 and higher): Mike Jimenez, first place; Massaro, second; Munn, third.

The league plays every Monday at four local courses, all within 15-20 minutes of Leisure World. 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.

Those interested in playing can contact Gary Stivers at 714313-3697 or Dave LaCascia at 801-674-5975.
