The league consists of 12 teams playing each Wednesday night between April and September. Tee time is 6:00 PM. The home course is Murray Hills Golf Club located in Wooler, Ontario.
There may have been plenty of bugs but nobody could complain about the weather as we played our final 18 holes of the playoffs. Sunshine, clear skies and no wind meant perfect conditions as the teams started their final rounds.
The "A" Flight crowned a new champion this year as the Wedgers held off a determined KGB team for a four stroke victory.
In the "B" Flight, the Rolling Stones defended their title by a convincing margin of 12 strokes over their nearest competitor.
And in the "C" Flight the CCCP made up an 8 stroke deficit to start the day and edged the Bogies for top spot by only two strokes.
Several individuals also walked away with awards for closest to the pins and cleaners while many more won draw prizes. A delicious steak meal followed the awards and many members took part in the putting competitions late into the evening.
Special thanks to Steve Powell whose hard work made the days events run smoothly as always. Also thanks to Alida and Tom St.Denis for another fun season. Thanks to Debbie Stewart for her help at the party following the round.
It was clear to see by the smiles, laughs, noise level and bruises that a good day was had by all as we wrapped up another year. Congratulations to all of the winners and to all league members have a safe winter and we'll see you in the Spring.

"A" Flight 1. Wedgers - 379 2. KGB - 383 3. Southpaws - 397 4. Dubbers - 414
It was another clear night for golf as we played our second nine holes to reach the halfway point of our playoffs. There was plenty of swinging and swatting as the balls were flying and the mosquitoes kept us busy when we weren't taking a shot.

"C" Flight 1. Bogies - +16 (97) ~ 200 2. CCCP - +21 (102) ~ 208 3. Latecomers - +27 (108) ~ 224 4. Hackers - +30 (111) ~ 233 See you on Saturday afternoon. Tee-time for the final 18 holes is 3:00 p.m. sharp. Plan to be there a little early.
It was a beautiful clear evening for golf as the first round of the league playoffs got underway earlier tonight. With action in all three divisions, here are the standings following the first nine holes of play.
The second round of nine will be played on Wednesday September 9th and the Final Round of 18 will be played on Saturday September 12th beginning at 3:00pm. That will be followed by the year-end party.
We also want to send out best wishes to Rick Dean of the KGB for a speedy recovery and we look forward to seeing him back on the course next Spring.
As we head into the playoffs and approach the end of our season I thought you might be able to draw some inspiration from watching this video of some of the great moments of the Canadian Open.
