Wedgers Go Low

Steve Westlake shot a 25 to move into a tie for Individual Low Gross while at the same time helping his team to post what is likely a new record Low Team Gross for our league. The Wedgers combined their scores to shoot a 79.

Three teams swept all 12 points up for grabs as the Wedgers, KGB and Fat Shafts had a good night. The Southpaws lead shrunk just a bit as they managed 10 points versus the CCCP.

Jimmy Rogers had a good night winning the 50/50 and he also grabbed the cash for Closest to the Pin on hole #11. Kevin Wadsworth's nice shot held for closest on #2.

Next week we return to 9 holes and I believe we'll be playing the blue tees for the first time in a while.

Have a Happy Canada Day guys!

No Rain and No Update

Sorry guys but I couldn't wait around for the last groups to get in and tally their totals tonight.

The stormy weather and rain thankfully didn't show up and we were able to get in our second 18 hole round of the year. Our final 18 holes will be played next Wednesday night.

If I don't get the standings updated in the next few days, I'll try and get it updated next week.

See you on Wednesday night.

Note: Standings have now been updated.

Light Rain and Low Scores

The rain stopped prior to tee off and only made a brief appearance during the 18 hole round on Wednesday night.

The Southpaws had a good night taking all 12 points in their match while also setting the new Low Team Gross shooting an 84. The Rolling Stones and Whizbangers also took 12 points each. Randy Conley for the Stones had his first ever hole-in-one as he deposited his tee shot into the cup on hole 16 using a wedge.

Tim Donaldson shot lights out for nine setting the new Individual Low Gross bar even lower with a 25. Andy Koetstra also shot 25 and an 18-hole total of 52 but didn't count as it was his night to sit out.

Dan Jess won the 50/50 while the Closest to the Pin prizes went to Al Wilkinson on hole #9 and Steve Powell on #18.

April Showers in June

For the second week in a row Mother Nature decided the Murray Hills Golf Course needed some watering. Unlike last week however, the rain combined with winds and cooler temperatures resulted in a cancellation of our first 18 hole night of the season.

The rain sent most home or to the clubhouse but a few groups decided to play nine holes just for the fun of it. I was not one of them as I decided to enjoy a beverage with my teammates instead.

Having some spare time I was able to get the results from last week and have updated the standings. I can also report that the Closest to the Pin winners were Steve Westlake on #8 and Art Cross on #17. Mark Kennedy was last weeks 50/50 winner.

See you next week as we try for another 18 holes.

Oh No...Rain!

Sorry guys but there's no update this week.

I'm afraid I was unable to make it out and before you jump to conclusions, the decision was made earlier in the day before there was any hint of foul weather. I just got lucky that I missed a rainy night.

This of course means the standings won't be updated until I get a chance to see them again which likely won't take place until next Wednesday night.
