Jim Crandall, Palms to Pines Golf Association handicap chair, gave this report about the Friday, Nov. 20, regular monthly golf tournament, which was played at The Golf Club at Rancho California in Murrieta.
It was a beautiful morning when the first foursome teed off and the day just improved. The course was in good shape with super-fast greens.
John Brower (course handicap 9) shot a net 69 for first place, John King (28) took second with a net 70, Lee Lanfried (24) finished third with a net 74, and Gary Brown (14) and Dave Robb (14) tied for fourth, each with a net 76.
Brower also won the low-gross side pot by 12 strokes with his gross 78.
The closest-to-the-pin winners on the four par 3s were Walt Reeves on no. 2, Pete Capparelli on no. 6, and Brown on holes no. 10 and no. 16.
The 2015-16 season runs from August 2015 through July 2016.
