Play was on Mesa Linda. Here's a tournament summary from our tournament director Ron Plummer:
Congratulations to all the winners!
The handicaps shown on the scorecards were the full 100% but remember that we use 85% for all team play.
Team honors go to Meyer, Kirchgessner, Cruz and Willis with -16 to net with the 85% handicap adjustment. Overall low net goes to Fioravanti with a net 65. Overall low gross goes to Schilling with a 73. There were a lot of skins today, 27 across all four flights, but the happiest player today was Mr. Rustrum with a Hole in One on #6!
Remember our next tournament is on the second Thursday of January because of the holiday so mark Jan 8 on your calendars.
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday 😊🏌

Tournament Recap:
Great day for golfing in Southern California! Congrats to all our winners and thanks to all those who were trying to keep up the pace of play. We all know how to keep up with the group in front of us but there are still those who are making a 41/2 hour round into 5 plus. We missed our President Mr Cloud today, but I’m sure he’s enjoying the sun and fun in Hawaii. Thanks from me to Ron Plummer for assisting me with getting our results out accurately and timely. - Bret
