Jim Crandall, Palms to Pines Golf Association handicap chair, provided this report about the association’s regular monthly tourney Friday, June 21 at Redhawk Golf Course in Temecula.
A misty morning drizzle and cloud cover kept temperatures mild and comfortable. The hilly course was in pretty good shape.
After finishing second in the May tourney, Danny Crosser (course handicap 18) shot a net 74 to win the June tournament. Dennis Chavez (9) and Bob Wadlow (16) tied for second with net 76. John King (27) had a net 77 for fourth place. Another tie occurred for fifth place. Both Crandall (14) and Jim Sullivan (20) scored a net 79.
The B flight is the golfers with a handicap index of 24.4 or above as of August 2018.
Tony Viola (22) shot net 67 for first place, winning for the second consecutive month. In second was Jerry Daquila (27), who finished with a net 79. Don DePalma (39) and Chris Kramer (39) shot net 96s and tied for third.
The winners of the closest-to-the-pin contests on the four par 3s were Daquila on hole no. 4; Lee Lanfried on no. 8; Crandall on the 12th hole; and Chavez on hole no. 17.
