Jim Crandall, Palms to Pines Golf Association handicap chair, provided this report about the Association’s regular July tournament.
The tourney was on Friday, July 20, at the Red Hawk Golf Course in Temecula.
This was the final tourney of the 2017-18 season and it determined the eight players, who will compete for club championship during August, September and October. The club champion will play in the Southern California Tournament of Club Champions in December.
Crandall (course handicap 13) captured first place with his net 70. This was his second consecutive tournament win.
Three players tied for second place. Pete Capparelli (22), Lee Lanfried (26) and Bob Wadlow (16) all shot a 73. Pete Holzman (15) rounded out the top five with a net 75.
In the B flight, made up of golfers with a handicap index of 24.4 or above as of Oct. 1, 2017, Jerry Daquila (26) finished first with a net 74. David Hiemenz (35) was second with a net 76. Barry Zander (37) earned third place with a net 87. Don DePalma (39) had a net 90 and placed fourth.
The winners of the closest-to-the-pin contests on the four par 3s were Wadlow on hole no. 4, Lanfried on no. 8, Crandall on hole no. 12 and Hiemenz on hole 17.
