On June 26, 2013, twenty-one teams of your Los Angeles City Fire Department Golf Club met with the same number of teams from the LA County Fire Department Golf Club at Los Serranos Golf Course in Chino for the annual Maltese Cup. The day was warm, actually hot, and the golf was even hotter. At the end of the day your LA City golf club won out by a score of 99 ½ to 92 ½.
