Jim Crandall, Palms to Pines Golf Association handicap chair, provided this report about the association’s regular monthly tourney Friday, March 15 at The Legends Golf Club at Temeku Hills in Temecula. It was a nice spring day with mild temperatures and the hilly course was in good shape with fast, undulating greens.
Norm Kyriss (course handicap 8), as in December, and John King (26) shot net 72s to tie for first place; Paul Cozens (12) shot a net 75 for third place; Pete Holzman (15) shot a net 77 for fourth place; and Crandall (15) rounded out the top five with a net 78 for fifth place.
In the B flight are the golfers with a handicap index of 24.4 or above as of August 2018.
Tony Viola (course handicap 28) shot a net 80 for first place; Don DePalma (39) shot a net 86 for second; and David Hiemenz (36) was third with a net 87.
The winners of the closest-to-the-pin contests on the four par 3s were Kyriss on holes number 3 and 11, along with Lee Lanfried (tie) on number 11, Holzman on the sixth hole and and Danny Crosser on hole number 15.
