Under cloudy and sometimes rainy skies twenty- seven 'hearty' souls showed up and completed eighteen holes of golf. Needless to say there were many more with sense enough not to drive 40 or 50 miles to play golf in the rain. Of those who played the low gross winner was Dennis Martel who shot a seventy-eight. The overall tourna- ment winner was John McClelland who shot 84 and with his 17 handicap had a net sixty-seven. In second place was Dennis Martel with a net sixty-nine followed by Johnny Phillips also with a net sixty-nine. The flight winners were first: Vic Macia and Jerry Cassidy, second; Bill Groswird and Mike Brady, third; 1985 Police Olympic Wrestling event held in Sacramento. Ken Foster S.F.P.D.
