Golf

Jim Crandall, Palms to Pines Golf Association handicap chair, gave this report about the Friday, Dec. 18, regular monthly golf tournament, played at The Country Club at Soboba Springs.

The course was in good shape with fast greens. The greens were so fast that on a sloping green, you could putt uphill to a hole and, if you missed, it could roll back down to from where you started from or worse.

John Brower (course handicap 9) and Dave Robb (14) tied for first place with net 69s. Pete Holzman (10) came in third with a net 72, John LoGiudice (21) took fourth with a net 73, and Lev Sanford (23) and Scott Schroeder (20) tied for fifth with net 75s.

Brower won the low-gross side pot with his 78.

The closest-to-the-pin winners on the four par 3s were Barry Wallace on holes No. 4 and No. 13, and Brower was closest on holes No. 8 and No. 15.

The shot of the day goes to Don DePalma (38). The 120-yard par 3 fourth hole is set up so that you tee off from the top of a hill down to the green below. Between the tee and the green is a lake. DePalma hit his tee shot into the lake, it skipped across, bounced off the bank on the far side, and rolled up onto the green.

The 2015-16 season runs from August 2015 through July 2016.
