GOLF

Not much can stop the stalwart golfers of the St. Helens Men's Club.

Except lightning.

Lightning interrupted play this week in the club's Monday league, and teams weren't able to complete their rounds.

With no update from Week 10, Yarbor Racing continues to lead the eight-team Monday league at Wildwood Golf Club.

Pacific Athletic Club still is setting the pace in the four-team Tuesday league through 10 rounds.
