Share

Three South Bay golfers recorded holes in one recently at Harbor Park Golf Course in Wilmington. Lindy Comstock of Torrance used a wedge on the 140-yard sixth hole to record his first ace. Dick Jones of Rancho Palos Verdes also chose a wedge on the 110-yard eighth hole. Richard Grelle of Carson went with an eight-iron on the eighth hole and it, too, went the distance.

Two American Youth Soccer Organization teams from the South Bay won Central Southern California Section I championships in Redlands Nov. 10.

They were The Green Machine, a girls’ Division 2 team from Rancho Palos Verdes, and The Young Guns, a boys’ Division 2 team from San Pedro. Both were composed of youths 14-15 years old.
