Vietnam Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient. He was a Specialist Fourth Class with the U.S. Army, Company A, 2d Battalion, 5th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) and was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism at Duc Pho, Republic of Vietnam, April 16, 1967. His official CMOH citation reads as follows: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Sp4c. Ingalls, a member of Company A, accompanied his squad on a night ambush mission. Shortly after the ambush was established, an enemy soldier entered the killing zone and was shot when he tried to evade capture.  Other enemy soldiers were expected to enter the area, and the ambush was maintained in the same location. Two quiet hours passed without incident, then suddenly a hand grenade was thrown from the nearby dense undergrowth into the center of the squad's position. The grenade did not explode, but shortly thereafter a second grenade landed directly between Sp4c. Ingalls and a nearby comrade. Although he could have jumped to a safe position, Sp4c. Ingalls, in a spontaneous act of great courage, threw himself on the grenade and absorbed its full blast. The explosion mortally wounded Sp4c. Ingalls, but his heroic action saved the lives of the remaining members of his squad. His gallantry and selfless devotion to his comrades are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon Sp4c. Ingalls, his unit, and the U.S. Army. 

Course Details

The Hidden Valley Golf Club is a unique golf layout for Southern California. The overall design of the course concentrates on preserving the natural vegetation, dry streams, and boulder outcroppings throughout the property. There are five sets of tees on each hole which allow this golf course to cater to golfers of varying skill levels. The back tees challenge the expert golfer to carry the ball over natural canyons and ravines to spacious and well-manicured fairways. The middle tees may require some carry over natural areas while reducing the length for the average golfers. The forward tees are situated so that there is little or no natural areas that must be hit over. The golf course ranges from 6,860 and 6,330 yards from the back two tees to 4,649 yards from the forward tees. The contrast of a well-manicured golf course against the rugged terrain provide a spectacular setting for golf.
