GOLF LAMGA By David Kubissa Lunch and golf were on the menu April 9 when the ever-popular “Beat the Board” game gave LAMGA members a chance to face off against a team of four board directors. Two foursomes beat the board’s score of 16-under par that called for the two best net scores on each hole. The winning team carded 25-under par, while the second-place team had 23-under par. See photos for the names of golfers who finished atop the leaderboard. There will be another golf and grub event this month – May 7 -- in commemoration of Cinco de Mayo. It will be a pick-your-partner game with a Mexican-themed lunch afterward. Two more golf and lunch events are slated for this summer, one in July and the other in early September. Update on Red Hoagland Challenge: 1) Denis Mulhearn $ 66.25; 2) Jim Salb $ 60.90; 3) Ron Goldade $ 58.90; 4) Pat O'Neil $ 58.00.
